A bit late, but I'm recommending Lupe Fiasco. Yes, he's a rapper, but his stuff is really a cut above the general rap fodder being fed to people everywhere. He's like a younger version of Kanye West (which is another artist worth listening to).
Torrents of his Food & Liquor album should still be around the net. For particular songs, I'd go for:
Intro (wicked bass)
Real
Kick, Push
Daydreamin'
Hurt Me Soul
American Terrorist
The Emperor's Soundtrack
