The Video:
Orlando’s Danny Towers prefers the bruising trap sound of his home state, but he’s more than capable of being delicate when he wants. Today, Towers joins two of NYC’s raunchiest emcees, Chow Lee and Lonny Love, for “Sexiest Soul,” a debaucherous anthem for late night flings. Produced by sexy drill sensei Cash Cobain, “Sexiest Soul” is a relentless parade of out-of-pocket lines, as each emcee tries to outdo one another with over-the-top punchlines (“I f*cked 100 h*es up on a mountain,” brags Lonny Love). The deep-voiced Danny Towers proves to be a natural at the sexy drill style, as he skates atop the sampledelic instrumental with aplomb. In the video, directed by Benny Flash, the one-track-minded trio takes over Miami, as they talk their smack while moving from a happening club night to a late-night convenience store rendezvous.
“Sexiest Soul” continues hot streaks for both Chow Lee and Danny Towers. Towers has been releasing a steady stream of singles since the release of Safe House, his 2023 collaborative project with DJ Scheme, including heavy-hitting collaborations with BossMan Dlow and Tony Shhnow. Chow Lee has been tearing up New York City and beyond, hosting a packed Valentine’s Day celebration in Brooklyn and releasing viral singles like “Swag It,” an ethereal sample drill anthem, which gained viral traction for its blunt opening line: “How do you feel about being my side b*tch?” “Swag It” recently surpassed 1 million streams on Spotify.
Danny Towers made his mark in 2023 with Safe House lead 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.
Chow Lee continued his run as a sexy drill pioneer with last summer’s album Hours After TheClub. Hours After The Club is an addictive listen, radiating with the seductive charm that inspired Pitchfork to affectionately call Chow Lee the “horniest rapper out.” Hours After The Club is chock full of infectious melodies, as Chow’s natural bravado makes every X-rated flex feel natural. The tape is home to two new collaborations with his frequent running mate Cash Cobain: the quintessential “sexy drill” anthem “on behalf of the association,” and “full service,” a luxurious mix of drill, club, and cloud rap, featuring Chow’s close friend Lonny Love. Chow followed-up Hours with singles like “team effort!” and “ready 2 live.”

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.
