Rolling Stone online editor Abbey Goodman has brought in artists from Wyclef Jean to Mumford & Sons to perform in the magazine’s Midtown offices. But on a recent Wednesday, she was nervous. The musical guest, Rye Rye (pictured), a 20-year-old female rapper, wasn’t going to put on the usual acoustic act. “This is 100 percent club music,” Goodman said. “We’re potentially about to have a spectacle.”

Not to mention that the performance, for the first time, would take place in a hallway outside of Rolling Stone editor and co-founder Jann Wenner’s office.
