"Locked Up" (2004) "Ghetto" (2005)

"Locked Up" is the debut single by the Senegalese rapper/singer Akon, which appears on his debut album, Trouble. The single was released in 2004 and immediately earned him success, reaching top 10 in both the U.S. and the UK, but he was to enjoy even more success with the follow-up song "Lonely". The song reached #4 on the Official UK Singles Chart, becoming his first Top 10 hit.The song recounts Akon's own troubles with the law, only instead of car theft, the protagonist is a drug dealer. In the video, Akon is arrested after being caught getting drugs out of a laundromat by, "undercovers dressed as friends,". After being in jail, he describes what a bad place prison is, contrary to the idea that prison makes you tough, an idea popularized by rappers.

"Visitation no longer comes by, Seems like they forgot about me, Commissary is gettin empty, Cellmates gettin food without me,"

He then goes on to say that he cannot wait to get out and "Got a family that loves me and wants me to do right, but instead I'm here locked up." He then asks his kin and kith to send him magazines, money-orders, to visit him, ask where his lawyer is, accept his phone calls and "where're my niggaz on lockdown?" This song was a breakout hit for Akon in early 2004 and began to shape the future of his personal life and musical career.

A remix of the song (featuring the rapper Styles P) also exists on the single and album. This version features nods towards the UK prison system ("Locked up in HMP ").
