No particular order. Can't be mainstream (Pharrell, Kanye). Must have been established within last 2-3 years.

I got:

Drumma Boy
DJ Burn One
Don Cannon
Illangelo
Lex Luger
SpaceGhostPurrp
Clams Casino
Hit-Boy
Mike Will
AraabMuzik

Any others? Honorable mentions?

And no, fuck Tyler the Creator, Goblin's music was garbage.

EDIT: Added Hit-Boy, Mike Will, SpaceGhostPurrp, AraabMuzik and Clams Casino, changed criteria.

@strawburry Yeah Bastard was amazing but I'm waiting on Wolf before he's cemented. Ski Beatz comes out and Araab goes in. Ty Beats can wait till LONGLIVEA$AP comes out. Don't recognize the rest you post but I usually pick up on new artists (and their favorite producers) 8-12 months before they blow up (RIP XXL Mag subscription and Pitchfork).

I know Skywlkr and Alchemist are dope, but are they top 10?

Chuck Inglish is definitely worth a mention. WKROUT was a dope beat tape.
Xaphoon is also sometimes overlooked because Chiddy's rapping may not be quite up to par.
Super3, Clams, Left Brain can be dope, Ty Beats has had some good ones, Hit-Boy obviously although he has arguably been "established" for longer than the given time period.
