Patrick “Mista Vybe” Gordon joins The Corie Sheppard Podcast for a deep dive into one of the most influential yet under-told journeys in Trinidad & Tobago’s music and cultural landscape.

From his early days in Kiskidee Karavan and the Party Time era, to being a member of Black Mayl and working closely with $hel $hok, Mista Vybe shares firsthand insight into a generation that reshaped youth culture and music in the Caribbean.

We explore:

• The origins and impact of Kiskidee Karavan
• The rise of youth-driven music in Trinidad & Tobago
• His role in Black Mayl and early soca evolution
• Writing “Billie Jean Soca” for Andy Stephenson (“the local Michael Jackson”)
• The creation of the iconic 98.9 Radi-Yo jingle 
• The transition from group success to solo identity as Mista Vybe
• Behind-the-scenes stories from an era that changed Caribbean entertainment

This episode is a must-watch for anyone interested in soca history, Caribbean culture, and the stories behind the movement.
