Myke Towers Is Seizing His Moment

Myke Towers

In just a few years, Myke Towers, the rapper has become one of the most sought-after collaborators in Latin music. Myke Towers’ new album, ‘La Vida Es Una’ surveys his many aesthetics. Myke Towers could tell you that he never knew he would make it big, but that wouldn’t be true. Because back in 2014, six years before the rapper would put out his debut, he was preparing for a make-or-break show in his hometown, San Juan Puerto Rico, and breaking wasn’t an option.

Puerto Rico is the most difficult crowd to please he said this month, video-chatting from a Miami hotel room a few weeks before the release of his new album, ‘ La Vida Es Una’ (Life Is One, a reminder that we only live once). They do not just give out approval, you have to show that you are good enough. If you make it in P.R. you’re going to make it anywhere. 

Myke Towers Talking About His Album

Over the course of two back-to-back albums, he did just that Easy Money Baby from 2020 went triple platinum, building off the success of his 2016 mixtape, El Final del Principio (The End of the Beginning) while incorporating reggaeton and Colombian melodies. Like Mike Towers released in 2021, was a firm statement of purpose that strung together harder trap bangers.

It peaked at No. 3 on Billboard’s Top Latin Albums chart and cracked the Top 50 on the all-genre Top 200. With his new album, out Thursday, Towers aimed to marry the two approaches, striking a balance that illustrates his creative flexibility. In this album he wanted to make music perform live, speaking animatedly in a casual white tee and a gold chain. He wants to give energy to their problems and forget about what’s stressing them.
