I have this page bookmarked and will be checking out some more of these as soon as I can.
Thanks for the recommendations =)

Personal Journals is really incredible. Also, if you like Sage Francis look for Non-Prophets-Hope and the Sick of... series. Non-Prophets was Sage francis and a dj who's name escapes me at the moment, and the Sick of... albums are collections of freestyles, live material, and unreleased Sage Francis songs.
It looks like many people already hit upon most of who I would recommend, but i'd like to add recommendations for Murs, Illogic, Blueprint, One Be Lo, Louis Logic, and Kanye West (yes, really). Also, Cage's new album is supposed to be alot in this vein. He's supposedly given up alot of the horrorcore stuff in favor of a more Slug/Sage Francis sound (although Ballad of Worms is still one of the more powerful hip-hop songs I've heard, despite it probably being considered horrorcore).
