Talib Kweli and Mos Def (although some of their songs do have "curses" the content is very clean and actually often inspiring, intelligent, etc...)

Love them both, but they tend to have a bunch of language.

Some newer Common maybe, older Common not so much.

Some of these may have imagery a little too racy but they're free of swearing and definitly worth a listen.

Kanye West, Ludicrous, The Game - Whole City Behind Us
Mos Def- Umi Says
Gang Starr - Royalty
Nas - Nas is Like
Handsome Boy Modeling School - If it Wasn't for You
Slick Rick - Children's Story
Eric B. and Rakim - Follow the Leader
MF Doom - All Caps
Dizzee Rascal - Dream
Pete Rock & CL Smooth - They Reminisce Over You

Hopefully this helps, PM me for more suggestions.

PS. I think it's great your doing something like this and I'm really hoping it goes great.

Ghetto boys.

Seriously though there are some good christian rap groups that dont swear, have a positive (not alway religious) vibe and sound really good. Tbone and grits are some that come to mind. Or you could go back the the positive tip era like when MC Speech was rhyming with arrested developement.
