Video: Danny Towers – “Hop Out The V!“
The South Florida Stunner Treats the Whip like a Trampoline in His First New Video Single of 2024
Critical Praise:
“Danny Towers has always stayed down, whether working on his craft or coming up through the ranks” – XXL
“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 Video:
Danny Towers specializes in serving up hard-nosed, bass-thumping, expertly crafted South Florida trap music. Ringing in the new year with the same steadfast commitment to standing on business, the Sunshine State stepper shares his first new single of 2024, “Hop Out The V!” A potent banger bolstered by deep piano and church bells, the track finds Danny callng shots like a street veteran: “Before this rap sh*t, b*tch, I was on the block serving cookie/Them crackers on my ass, I crashed the whip and threw away the hoodie/You can bet the house on me, n****, cause if not, I’m knocking off the bookie.”
Directed by BennyFlash, the video for “Hop Out The V!” brings a raw film noir flair to the track, accentuating its perilous atmosphere with chilling scenes from the streets. The video opens with Danny posted in front of a black Mercedes coupe, with a masked menace in the back seat, patiently awaiting his orders. Soon, the comforting contrast of a couple cuddled up in bed turns sour as Danny’s acquaintance enters the scene to rob them. As the video progresses, Danny and his associate continue to wreak havoc across the city from the back seat of the Benz.
“Hop Out The V!” arrives as Danny’s latest single, following a stretch of recent collaborative singles, like “Double Park” with GT, “Special Bullets” with Robb Bank$ and the Tony Shhnow-featuring “Heavy.” These singles arrived in the wake of 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, Safe House is available everywhere via TC Music LLC/EMPIRE.
Stay tuned for more from the Platinum-certified Florida rap playmaker as the year continues.

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.
