Myke Towers’ 2016 debut album, El Final del Principio, established the Puerto Rican MC as a rapper’s rapper, with its ambitious lyricism and dense, elegant production. But it took a slew of high-profile collabs with the likes of Becky G, Farruko, Arcángel, and Bad Bunny to bring Towers (né Michael Torres) mainstream recognition. Nearly four years after his debut, he released 2020’s Easy Money Baby, an album that cements his status as a party starter. For a rapper who named his infant son after JAY Z, it makes perfect sense: Like his hero, he knows how to bring lyrical intensity and please a crowd.
