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!

Thank you for your beautiful and eloquent explanation of the rationale behind Direct Action. I will be cribbing it in future.
