A Fresh Caribbean Sound Explosion

Puerto Rican reggaeton sensation Myke Towers has just dropped his sixth studio album, Island Boyz, a sprawling project featuring 23 tracks that dive deep into his Caribbean roots while branching into bold new sounds.

Myke describes Island Boyz as “the realest thing I’ve done to date," emphasizing how it reflects both his Puerto Rican heritage and his evolving artistic vision. The album is packed with collaborations featuring artists like Quevedo, De La Ghetto, Manuel Turizo, and Nigerian star Omah Lay, introducing cross-cultural vibes that broaden the reggaeton experience.

Diving Deep into the Album’s Caribbean Palette

The album kicks off with “La Despedida,” featuring DFZM, setting an emotional tone with raw vulnerability—a refreshing contrast to Myke’s usual confident swagger. This emotional range threads through the entire album, balancing intensity with heartfelt moments.

One of the captivating tracks, “Surferita” with iZaak, mixes ska rhythms with Mexican tuba sounds in a way that feels both fresh and deeply grounded in Caribbean musical traditions. On “No Hay Break,” featuring Omah Lay, Myke bridges Latin urban beats with Afrobeat influences, showcasing reggaeton’s expanding global footprint.

The lead single, “Tengo Celos,” is already making waves, accompanied by a stylish music video directed by Daniel Eguren, with creative vision from Vampire Studio’s Pol Gago Guilera and César Laboy. This track is poised to dominate radio charts in the coming months.

Collaborations Fueled by Chemistry

Myke Towers avoided the typical formula of chasing guaranteed hits. Instead, he curated collaborators based on genuine artistic chemistry. Familiar names like De La Ghetto share space with fresh talents such as Brazilian powerhouse Ludmilla and rising Mexican star Gabito Ballesteros.

The standout collaboration “Soleao,” with Spanish artist Quevedo, is already a hit on Spanish radio and a summer anthem contender both in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. This track underscores Myke’s knack for connecting with international audiences without losing his authentic sound.

The album’s diverse lineup—from Spain to Mexico, Brazil to Nigeria—reflects reggaeton’s growth as a global genre. Each artist brings their unique regional flavor, yet the album remains a cohesive celebration of Caribbean culture.

More Than Just Music: Myke Towers’ Expanding Influence

Outside the recording booth, Myke Towers has been making moves on other stages too—he participated in the MLB All-Star Celebrity Softball Game in Atlanta for the second year running, alongside fellow Latin stars like Young Miko, Eladio Carrión, and Wisin. The event benefits the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, highlighting Myke’s commitment to giving back.

Myke’s reputation as one of Puerto Rico’s sharpest lyricists is well-earned. Past albums like Easy Money Baby and La Vida Es Una have earned multi-platinum status. His viral 2023 hit “LaLa” hit #1 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart and reached #3 on the Global 200, cementing his status as a Latin urban powerhouse.

Island Boyz is Myke Towers’ most ambitious and well-rounded artistic statement yet. It balances catchy, commercial appeal with fearless creative experimentation, positioning him not just as a star of today but as an artist with longevity. His island roots provide a solid foundation for a music journey that’s truly global in scope.
