With a hip-hop-inspired foundation, electronic bursts, and pop beats – “Locked Out” by S-X featuring KSI is a song that is going to wind up on the playlists of people that do not like to stay tied to one style because this song is a potpourri of styles intertwined, and while that could land on the chaotic side – it all works together wonderfully.
The narrative of “Locked Out” introduces us to a relationship gone wrong, but lyrically the latest from S-X reads more like a song reminiscent of the height of emo in the early 00s. That juxtaposition with the more vibrant pop meets hip hop delivery somehow worked in a way that would lead S-X to be on tour with a wide variety of artists such as Machine Gun Kelly, Fall Out Boy, or even The Weeknd. S-X has elements of every single one of those artists wrapped up in one on the verge of dominating the scene, making “Locked Out” a must-hear track.
S-X has been making waves in music for well over a decade now. Having dropped a few albums, EPs, and singles including “Distance” and “In Real Life,” S-X has been able to go from a celebrated producer to a solo artist with ease. He has worked with countless heavy hitters including Rick Ross and Trippie Redd, on “Down Like That” and 2022’s “All Night.” To hear all of those, “Locked Out,” and more – make sure to check out S-X on all major music and streaming sites today.
