From heralding the rise of Rae Sremmurd and Blood Orange to championing Migos, Kelela and J Balvin before they were household names, _The FADER_ staff have continually proven themselves to be prescient predictors and provocative influencers of the modern music landscape and the lifestyle elements that surround it. Two of NYC's most in-touch journalists, _FADER_ Managing Editor Ruth Saxelby and Deputy Editor Rawiya Kameir, join us on Peak Time to talk about the highs and lows in music and culture in 2017 – the continued explosion of Xanax-laced trap, the rise of soca and reggaeton, confessional club music, New Age sounds, behind-the-scenes sexual harassment, the cult of Cardi B and Rihanna's latest movements are just some of the topics that might be covered when these discerning wordsmiths join Vivian on the airwaves.
