There's obviously a lot of hip-hop artists who like to big themselves up, but for me Jeru The Damaja is the top of the pile for these type of lyrics. Great flow and beats too.

Jens Lekman might also be worth a look, he plays acousticy folky indie pop, his songs are very uplifiting, and very often autobiographical. He expresses confidence in a much subtler way to the artists you mentioned, but it's just as effective.
