This article is actually about it. Kind of makes some sense of it.

https://centralsauce.com/dual-discipline-artists-rap-produce

It lists:
Tyler the Creator
Childish Gambino
Janelle Monae
J Cole
Big Krit
Kid Cudi
Earl Sweatshirt
Travis Scott
Logic
Mac Miller

Now all of those aren't strictly rappers and some only started producing after they had been rapping but I think the point stands.

The article points out its more that in the late 90s there was a shift away from rappers producing their own music than this being a completely new thing.

Thats the other side, it feels like recently we are hearing about older rappers actually having produced their own songs when most people probably thought someone else produced them. Rakim and all members of De La Soul being some examples.
