Single Review: Don't Worry (AE050) by Mr Fantastic & J.Todd

 

Don’t Worry (AE050)

By

Mr Fantastic & J.Todd

 

Milestones are always something special and when AE Productions reached it’s 50^th release, in the same years that Hip Hop celebrated its 50^th anniversary, there had to be something special for that special release.

Let me hand you over to Mr Fantastic for the lowdown on this release:

Recorded circa 2012 and originally intended for release on High Noon Music following Mr Fantastic's other 7"s for High Noon but somehow and for reasons we can't remember it was never released. Rescued from the vaults with thanks to High Noon Music for our landmark catalogue number of AE050. 

We dug out some pictures taken around the time of recording - actually the same photoshoot that supplied the image for Mr Fantatsic's Harvey's Bristol Cream album on Ruztik Records and manufactured by AE, and had the sleeve designed by Nick Pointon who did the designs for HBC and Mr Fantastic 's other High Noon 7"s so was our natural choice. 

 

That being said, Let’s get into it…

 

Don’t Worry finds Mr Fantastic on production and cuts with J.Todd (Def Harmonic) from Milwaukee on vocals. The beat is proper head nod and has sweet funky vibe with bass and other guitar vibes. There is also this little crackle to it that gives you the vinyl feel even if you’re listening to the digital version. J.Todd brings a solid display on the mic, making sure that you know there is no need to worry because he has got this, binging that raw shit with slick lines, similes, metaphors and so much more. There is no complicated message here, nothing that needs too much thought, it’s all about that feel-good Hip-Hop music to get you movin’ and groovin’ to the beat and rhymes and it does everything it sets out to do and with those razor-sharp cuts, this is one of those tracks you’ll keep going back to time after time.

 

As a landmark release, this one has it all, in a Hip Hop sense anyway. There is a banging beat to get you bobbing your head, an emcee dropping some classic rhymes, and cuts galore; I mean, in the 50^th year of Hip Hop Don’t Worry gives you a track that celebrates the roots of what Hip Hop music grew from, the DJ and Emcee, and at the same time it celebrates what AE Productions does best, releasing classic Hip Hop from the UK to the US and beyond.

 

Don’t Worry is out now with Limited white and black vinyl, and on digital too. So, grab one while you can.

 

My thanks to Mr Fantastic for sending this one my way.

 

As there is no need to worry,

 

I’m Out,

 

Steve.
