Myke Towers surprises fans with the deluxe edition of “LA PANTERA NEGRA”
Two months after the release of “LA PANTERA NEGRA,” multi-platinum superstar Myke Towers has dropped the deluxe edition of his latest album. The expanded version is out now.
“LA PANTERA NEGRA DELUXE” features ten new tracks, including collaborations with Juhn, Sech, De La Ghetto, and Maldy. These artists join an impressive roster of collaborators from the original release, including Jay Wheeler, NTG, Darell, Peso Pluma, Omar Montes, Cosculluela, YOVNGCHIMI, and Bad Bunny.
The lead single, “DEGENERE,” samples the melody from Suzanne Vega's 80s hit “Tom's Diner,” whose hook was later popularized by British duo DNA in their 1990 remix.
Produced by Benny Blanco, the song celebrates female empowerment, from the freedom to love and enjoy life to the confidence exuded through her outfits and captivating presence on the dance floor.
Myke Towers' sixth studio album, “LA PANTERA NEGRA,” explores the musical roots and sounds that launched the Puerto Rican artist's career nearly a decade ago. While rap and reggaeton take centre stage throughout the LP, Towers maintains his innovative edge, challenging stereotypes and redefining the boundaries of Latin music.
“TAMBIÉN,” a standout track from both the original and deluxe versions, has already surpassed 25 million streams on Spotify and boasts the highest daily growth rate of any song on the album.
“LA PANTERA NEGRA DELUXE” caps off an extraordinary year for Myke Towers, which saw him receive two Latin GRAMMY nominations for Best Urban Song and five for the 2024 Billboard Latin Music Awards.
The rapper also released a hugely successful collaboration with world-renowned DJ Tiësto on the remix of "LA FALDA," partnered with MLB for the "El Béisbol es Otra Cosa" campaign, earned a 2024 MTV VMA nomination in the Best Latin category for his global hit "LALA," and graced the covers of Billboard Latino and Rolling Stone en Español, as well as its regional editions in Colombia, Mexico, and Spain.

ABOUT MYKE TOWERS:
Four-time Latin GRAMMY® Award-nominated rapper and singer Myke Towers has grown into one of Puerto Rico's top lyricists, melding streetwise storytelling and massive pop hooks into a career filled with chart-topping anthems.
Myke released his first project, ‘El Final del Principio’ 2016, an impressively mature record of autobiographical lyrics and boom-bap beats that invoked classic rap. Three years later, his efforts led him to collaborate with Farruko on the hit single “Si Se Da,” reuniting the following year for the viral remix of “La Playa,” featuring a verse from Maluma.
In 2020, Towers released ‘Easy Money Baby,’ an LP that expanded his sonic palette even further with blasts of reggaetón, dancehall, and baile funk on hits like “Diosa” and “Girl.” The album debuted at number #1 on the Top Latin Album chart and has garnered over a billion streams combined. That same year, collaborations with Bad Bunny, Nicky Jam, Camila Cabello, Becky G and Anitta cemented him as one of the leading names in mainstream reggaetón, though his heart yearned to return to his rap roots.
‘LYKE MIKE’ arrived in 2021 with introspective bars and throbbing trap and drill beats. Cuts like “Mírenme Ahora” and “Pin Pin” showcased Towers at the top of his songwriting game, remaining true to his artistic vision and complex narratives without relying on catchy pop choruses.
On March 23, 2023, Myke released his long-anticipated fourth studio album, ‘LA VIDA ES UNA.’ This 23-track project finds the singer-songwriter reintroducing himself in a new era, taking his listeners on a sonic journey through globalized music that includes Alt-pop, afrobeat, and reggae. The album includes the hit singles “MI DROGA,” which Myke performed at the 2023 Latin American Music Awards, and “ULALA” ft. Daddy Yankee, which hit #1 on the Latin Airplay chart and which Myke performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Good Morning America. LA VIDA ES UNA has amassed over 200 million all-time streams on Spotify alone.
In 2024, Towers received four nominations at the 2024 Latin American Music Awards, including Song of the Year, Global Latin Song of the Year, Best Song - Urban, and Best Collaboration - Urban for “LALA” and “Borracho y Loco” with Yandel. In April of this year, Towers released “LA FALDA (Tiësto Remix).” The song’s original version marked his fourth US Latin radio number one and is 2x Platinum-certified by the RIAA. “LA FALDA” continues to chart with over 292 million Spotify streams, ranked #30 worldwide. Towers also released his first single off his upcoming album with Bad Bunny, where they joined forces for “ADIVINO,” a powerful collaboration that promises to captivate the charts worldwide.
