R. City feat. Adam Levine releases "Locked Away"

R. City are Theron and Timothy Thomas who have produced and written some of the most popular songs including multiplatinum, chart-dominating hits like Rihanna’s “Pour It Up,” Nicki Minaj’s “The Night Is Still Young,” and Miley Cyrus’ “We Can’t Stop”. Now, the duo is ready to share their own message in their own voice.

On their major label debut album, the brothers collaborated with Dr. Luke on an album true to their roots and their own voice. “It’s our own genre,” says Theron. “We call it Caribbean hip-hop. There are elements of rap and the islands. This is the first time most people will really hear us, so we wanted to come out with something big.”

“Locked Away” [feat. Adam Levine of Maroon 5], is a personal song inspired by the brothers’ own life experience having a father “locked up” for six years during their youth, and a mother who loved through hard times. The video captures the heartbreak of the struggles people face, and the challenges that real love can overcome. “Will those people who are there when it’s sunny, stick around during the rain? Those are the real topics we like to explore,” says Theron.
