Not looking for guys that flip back and forth from singer to rapper (ie Cee-Lo, Phonte, Aloe Blacc, Nate Dogg, Z-Ro, Pharrel) but for rappers with not-so-good voices who aren't prone to crooning on a regular basis.
Something like Ma$e - Jealous Guys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PiXbw5pRts
or Biggy - Player Hater:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHcc6mv2KLc
Basically inspired by this Lil B:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RyRFu7Umvk
Be as obvious as you like, just looking to put a good playlist together.

Biz is a tough one, his voice is bad enough to make the cut, but he sings pretty frequently. I say let him in. Let Me Turn You On is pretty prefect for this I think, any others Biz cuts in mind?

gucci does a croon thing on the chorus of "antisocial", kinda too loud and bright to be a slow jam, tho

I think that works, added.
