Which drum sample libraries are best for contemporary Hip Hop, Grime, Trap, apart from 808 stuff which I already have a lot of?
I've had my eye on Goldbaby's MPC60 collection for a while. Would that be a good choice?

Goldbaby and Wave Alchemy for classic drum machine sounds. Soniccouture Konkrete for a weirder take on those.
Drumdrops for sounding like you sampled classic Motown and Memphis soul.
Karoryfer Samples (aka me) and That Sound for organic acoustic drum samples that won't sound old-school but will fit. Somebody should really sample an original 30s Ludwig Super Sensitive, the kind with snare wires under both heads, because those sound as close to a real-world 808 snare as I've ever heard. But that's going off on a tangent...
