Video: Danny Towers – “Special Bullets” ft. Robb Bank$
The Broward County Big Steppers Make a Play and Run off on the Plug in New Video Single
Critical Praise:
“Danny Towers has always stayed down, whether working on his craft or coming up through the ranks” – XXL
“DJ Scheme is a driving force behind Miami’s Members Only collective, and his menacing beats helped turn XXXTentacion and Juice WRLD into household names.” – Consequence of Sound
“Throughout his lyrics [on ‘Florida Water’], Towers markedly taunts haters, reminding them that he’s not afraid to throw them in the shark-infested ocean that separates his home state and Cuba.” – HotNewHipHop
“The Palm Beach-raised music curator and general of vibes Gabe Guerra, better known as DJ Scheme, is among the biggest influencers in South Florida hip-hop…Think of him as DJ Clue to Miami’s up-and-coming Jay-Zs.” – Miami New Times
The Video:
A longstanding force in the South Florida scene, Danny Towers is right at home among the forefathers of Broward County cloud rap. Connecting with fellow Florida rhymer, Robb Bank$, Danny shares his new video single, “Special Bullets.” Floating over the vintage vintage vibe of smooth organ melodies and muted record scratches, Danny and Bank$ aim from the hip with precise accuracy, as they ring off flexes in bossed up style.
The video for “Special Bullets,” directed by Benny Flash, unfolds like the first act of a mafioso movie. As Danny kicks a verse before the sunset, a female acquaintance is seen stashing a gun in the bathroom of an unknown location. It’s soon revealed that Danny & Bank$ are headed for a big-time drug transaction, but before the deal is done, Danny slips off to the bathroom to recover his ace in the hole. Soon, the pair run off with their spoils in a vintage red BMW to reconnect with their accomplice, leaving the plug thoroughly finessed.
“Special Bullets” follows the Tony Shhnow-featuring “Heavy,” which appears on prominent playlists, including Amazon’s “Made In The South,” Spotify’s “Get Turnt” and “Most Necessary,” and Apple’s “The Plug,” arriving as Danny’s first new singles since Safe House, his recent collaborative project with DJ Scheme, home to the viral single, “Florida Water” ft. Luh Tyler & Ski Mask The Slump God, which earned praise from XXL, Stereogum, HotNewHipHop, and more. “Florida Water” inspired a photo dump trend on TikTok, where creators drop the flyest selfies in their Photos app as the beat drops and Danny’s infectious hook, “Threw him in that water, I’m from Florida, but my wrist Cuban,” gives way to Luh Tyler’s croaking verse. Peaking at #1 on TikTok’s trending charts, the song generated over 200k video creations on TikTok, over 35 million streams on all platforms, and reached the top spot on SoundCloud’s daily chart. Home to recent videos like “Chunky Munkey” ft. Loe Shimmy, “Rolls Truck” ft. C Stunna, and “Wookiez,” and with additional guest appearances from Denzel Curry, Robb Bank$, and more.
Stay tuned for more from the 2x GOLD-certified Florida rap playmaker as the year rolls on.

About Danny Towers
Born in Puerto Rico and raised in Orlando, FL, Danny Towers is a fixture in the Florida rap underground. He’s regularly collaborated with artists like Ski Mask The Slump God, XXXTentacion, and many more, making an impact with his gravelly voiced delivery and bone-tough lyricism. Towers earned critical acclaim in 2019 with his debut album Tarantula, and scored his first two Gold records with the help of his friend DJ Scheme. Towers’ back-and-forth with Ski Mask on Scheme’s hard-hitting “How You Feel?” (2019), also featuring Lil Yachty, helped the song rack up over 100 million combined streams. Towers reunited with Scheme, Ski, and Yachty in 2020 for “E-Er,” earning another Gold plaque in the process.
Now, Towers is gearing up for Safe House, his upcoming collaborative project with DJ Scheme. Safe House is home to “Florida Water,” another Ski Mask collaboration with an added element of Tallahassee riser Luh Tyler, which caught fire in early 2023, generating tens of millions of streams and peaking #1 on TikTok’s trending charts. Featuring a who’s who of the Florida rap scene, Scheme & Towers’ Safe House arrives on June 23, 2023.
