“There are two Mykes—the commercial artist and the rapper,” Myke Towers tells Apple Music’s La Fórmula host El Guru. “And this is an album for the streets.” Having broadened considerably beyond his long-standing reputation as a credible trapero in recent years, with successful forays into reggaetón and other popwise sounds, the now massively popular Puerto Rican artist returns to the style he made his name in with LYKE MIKE. The gunfire opening “BALAS LOCAS” makes crystal clear that this album is a marked shift away from predecessor Easy Money Baby’s glossier and romantic moments. “This goes back to the Myke that used to rap bars,” he explains. “I don’t want to tell pretty stories, but my story.” Unfiltered standouts like “MÍRENME AHORA” and the Ñengo Flow-assisted “BURBERRY” reaffirm Towers’ deep affinity for, and demonstrable proficiency in, trap music in all its aggressive glory. With its 23 tracks (an unsubtle homage to basketball great Michael Jordan), LYKE MIKE exudes everything his day-one fans hoped he’d come back to, even as his arc towards global superstardom has become undeniable. “I keep my feet on the ground,” he says, “but I know I was born to do this.”

Myke Towers' 'El final del principio' presents a vibrant blend of Latin urban sounds characterized by a polished production style. The album features a mix of reggaeton and trap influences, with rhythmic tempos that drive the energy throughout. Tracks like "La letra" and "Día de cobro" showcase infectious beats layered with rich bass lines, while melodic hooks add an engaging texture. The instrumentation is a fusion of electronic elements and traditional Latin rhythms, creating a dynamic listening experience. The overall sound is both contemporary and accessible, with a distinctive flair that sets it apart in the genre, making it a compelling entry in the modern Latin music landscape.

A lot has changed for Myke Towers in the nearly four years since his debut album, 2016’s El Final del Principio. For one, música urbana has grown from regional favourite to global movement, earning him some notable hits recently, including “DOLLAR” with Becky G and “Si Se Da” with Farruko, the latter of which features on his sophomore full-length. On a more personal tip, he recently became a first-time father, marking the occasion by having his infant son appear with him on the album’s cover. While Towers could easily have leaned fully into his pop appeal, Easy Money Baby succeeds largely because he refuses to abandon the streetwise skills present on the more aggressive hip-hop singles in his discography to date. He reps hard for Latin trap on heavy hitters like “Ronca” and “Tú”, while still easing into thuggish love mode on the far breezier “La Playa”. On the hypnotic “Relación Rota”, he does reggaetón romantica with a casual flair, and he uproots an interrogatory 50 Cent classic on the instantly memorable “Girl”. That latter cut further broadens the reach of música urbana at a critical time, linking it even closer to the anglophone rap world without compromising on language. In his own words, Towers walked Apple Music through some of his favourites of the 18 tracks on the record. 
MIB
“The first one I’d pick is the first one on the album. It represents musically everything in my career up until now, from where I started, for people that may not understand. It brings colour to the album.” 
Parcerita
“Much of this one was inspired by a woman in Colombia, someone who I loved a lot there. That’s the theme here.” 
Una Noche Más
“This has a certain type of rhythm. It’s meant to present Myke Towers in more of a global context separate from what’s expected from me.” 
Girl
“‘21 Questions’ is one of my favourite tracks. I love 50 Cent. This is one I’m singing for the streets, because a lot of it involves women. If you listen, you’re going to like it.” 
Funeral
“This is the final song—about a relationship that’s ending in a breakup because one person has hurt the other one. It’s key to understanding this record. When you lose someone, you’re still curious about that person, and you feel sad that things are different.”
