Bit of a deeper cut, but Dr Syntax is amazing, has been around since the golden age of UK Hip Hop (IMHO), the early 2000s, and is also from Brighton.
If a real lover of music doesn’t like Hip Hop/Rap, they are invariably looking in the wrong place. There isn’t really a more diverse, granulated, genre - including Punk and Jazz (both of which I love).
If you fancy looking a bit further afield, you could start your adventure with Aesop Rock. Bon voyage!
Very similar to my own methods, right down to filing important Sent items. This can come in extremely useful when it’s your word against another (often senior) colleagues, that you had reported a concern. Being able to quickly recall what and when was said can shut down an argument before it has blossomed.
