Try these:

People Under the Stairs (especially the song Acid Raindrops)
Atmosphere
Bizarre (he mostly does silly stuff but he has an amazing rap called Gospel Weed Song)
Aesop Rock (all good stuff, but I think their best album is Labor Days)
Afroman (everyone's heard like Colt 45 and 'Cause I Got High, but he has some really good stuff; my favorite songs are Tall Cans and Sell Your Dope)
Lil Wyte (this is a stretch, but it's the closest thing to gangster rap from the new south, and it's ALL about..well...you'll see )

pretty much stuff that makes me smile or "feels" good
Amen.
