I have to recommend checking out Faye Webster. Quite highly. I get the folk category but it isn't really accurate lol she's from Atlanta so was kind of out of place in that scene but fit in somehow. Her second album was put out by Awful Records, her friends rap label pretty much. I heard her for the first time live as an opener, and it was kind of fascinating as I don't think I've ever heard/felt 808 like bass without 808s like that before. She doesn't try to rap or anything. Just an interesting amalgamation of inspirations in a genre/sound that wouldn't usually have them.
