Video: Danny Towers – “Heavy” ft. Tony Shhnow
The South Florida Veteran Takes a Plugg Music Pilgrimage to ATL with Tony Shhnow for Smooth New Video
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:
With a vocal delivery as dense as the summer air in South Florida, Danny Towers leaves a mark that sticks. Taking a trek up north to the city of Atlanta, Danny links with Plugg music pioneer Tony Shhnow for their new video, “Heavy.” Matching the Plugg-inspired instrumental’s easy-going energy, Danny kicks off the track with a syrupy, smooth verse and hook, before Tony kicks it up a notch with a fast-paced verse of his own. The video for “Heavy,” directed by GWALAONTV, finds Danny on a slow roll through the city of Atlanta. Whether he’s kicking back outside an old school convenience store lined with vintage Coca-Cola signs, lounging in a high-rise penthouse apartment, or lurking through a parking garage with Tony Shhnow and company in tow, Danny rolls “Heavy” wherever he goes.
Featured on prominent playlists, including Amazon’s “Made In The South,” Spotify’s “Get Turnt” and “Most Necessary,” and Apple’s “The Plug,” “Heavy” arrives as Danny’s first new single 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.
