I am thinking something mellow beats, with meaningful lyrics like....
The Roots - You got me
Blackstar - Thieves in the Night

Runaway Love (Ludicris [if I'm spelling his name right] and Mary J. Blige). It's a sad song to listen to, but it's powerful at the same time.
Po' Folks (Nappy Roots). Real smooth with uplifting lyrics; it's just something good to chill to.
