d O Gibson, what's.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Up my man?
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Oh yeah, doing great, Nice to be back. Always good
to see.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
You, brother, Always good to see you too. Let's talk
about this one out of the gate man. I'm just
opening up the floodgates right there too. And we all
love our fathers and just passed Father's Day here with
June coming to an end and July kicking off, and
this new one, you guys would put out a dad
I did it, a feature in Socrates across all the DSPs,
tell us all about it, the idea of the writing
and the lyric of you guys. I feel like, y'all
(01:39):
you really accomplished on this track, no doubt.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I think it all started for me watching the BET
Awards because Usher was accepting a Lifetime Achievement award and
he said, everybody always says Mama made it. I even
made a song called that, but it's frequent people say that.
But he said, we need to start giving love and
respect to our fathers. It's about time we said dad,
I did it. And I thought that was such a
(02:04):
nice message to send because in hip hop in particular,
we don't say a lot of good things about our fathers.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Even just on I was just driving around right now
is listening to an.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Old Naughty by Nature song and it's talking about a
bad relationship he had with his father. And I think
that it's really important to give love to fathers, and
in particular to black men as fathers.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
I was raised by a black man who was a.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Preacher, who was told you shouldn't go to college or university,
go work in the steel factory in town. And his
mother walked into school and said, no, my son is
going to go to college or university. And my dad
has his doctorate in ministry. And I'm really proud of
him for that. And so I wanted to make a
song not just about me, but about fathers so that
(02:51):
people could relate to it and just echo that feeling,
because to me, there's a great feeling when you get.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
A chance to go say to your dad, dad did it.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
I mean I love the lyrics in that too, And
like I said, I know I lost my my dad
almost two years ago, this November coming up, and it
just unexpectedly, but it happened. And honestly, just say those
words every day, whether it be the spiritual sense and
for for most people that still have their their father's
living the physical sense. It's it's just you can say
it and I still hear it and they remember it.
And I commend you guys on a great track out
there and check it out across all those streaming UH
(03:22):
platforms you were you know, we're talking a little bit
before the show. I got back from CMA week in
Nashville up there too, and you never know you're gonna
run into When I say the stars come out, I
mean that is like a reunion of all music, but
especially country music there too. And now these crossovers uh
akon Gary l Vox, Rascal Flats collaborate on a new
tune Hold the Umbrella, which is kind of like a
summer anthem. Now, want to get your thoughts on a
(03:43):
lot of these cool things, a lot of the crossovers.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
And this has not been something that is just now happening.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Deal.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
This has been going on in the past four or
five years with some of your your R and B
artists and your your pop artists crossing over into a
genre which now country's becoming more uh just bigger and
better out there. To talk about that and give me
some thoughts on the crossovers and the collaborations that are
going on.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
I love crossovers and collaborations.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
My family's from Nova Scotia and Kate Breton Nova Scotia,
and there's a long songwriting tradition and it's funny because
you can't.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
Really put a genre on it.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
You don't know if it's like Celtic music or it's
part country and then it's just infused with some bluegrass.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
But then you might see an R and B singer
a rapper on top of it.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
And so I come from a tradition of songwriters and
songwriting communities that I like it. But it's really cool
to see it really hit the mainstream, that artists are
realizing they can take risks and explore genres and put
things together.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
And I think it's a great way of bringing people together.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Because growing up, if somebody talked about country music, I
was like, I don't really like country. But then you
but you know, you learn to appreciate it when you're
exposed to it and now like I could say, like, yeah,
I like. And it's not just because of those fusions,
but you appreciate different genres of music, and I think
(05:06):
it's really important for a young generation to experience those
different genres of music. Just because you like hip hop
doesn't mean you can't like country, doesn't mean you can't
like metal.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Just like good music exactly, something with a great sound
and a good beat. And I said it will definitely
resonate with fans out there. Hey, take me back to
the last record too, Still Driven. I want to talk
about a lot of the songs off of there too
at the same time, love this record too. A lot
of good collabs on there too at the same time,
including that title track, a lot of good memories there
and twenty songs that you guys have put out for
(05:38):
the record.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yeah, yeah, I love putting it out Because my first
album was called Stage Driven, and my motivational speaking program
I tour a lot of schools I do a hip
hop program has always been stay driven.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
But after getting to twenty years in the business, I.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Love the message of being still driven because you can
always have an idea, especially when you're young. But to
stick with that same idea and throughout the course, especially
of music. But in any business that you're in, there's
been so many changes. But I really wanted to come
out with that message of still Dritten.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
I love it too.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
A lot of great songs off of there too, and
so many great records you've put out to You mentioned
how the business has changed, and look at streaming now
compared to the way it was listening to some of
those old classics by a lot of great singers out
there too. I kind of went through my rolodex. It
was like those old Acon songs are coming back as
the survivor, and so many other ones there too that
I grew up on too. Looking back at it, how
(06:36):
much is streaming changed it, I guess for the good
end for the bad in the last twenty years.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
I think it's really good in the sense that you know,
when I'm anywhere in the world, it's in Amsterdam, I
was in France. I can just give somebody my contact
on Instagram and then they can go back and listen
to my music right away. And I remember when I
traveled to Japan the first time, we had to bring
two hundred CDs, which is bulky to travel with. But
(07:06):
at the same time, what I loved about before streaming
is having that physical product, that being able to sell
that CD kind of meant something to someone, because the
reality is with streaming, a lot of artists don't generate
any money or any revenue or significant revenue. Whereas when
(07:27):
it was like iTunes and people purchase music or people
purchased physical copies, artists in general tended to make a
little bit more money, but you also had to invest
a lot more money into studio time and the mixing
and pressing the CDs. So I think there's best of
both worlds. But you always have to adapt with the times.
(07:49):
And I'm really happy that anyone can listen to my
music at any time.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Love it too. And this other record was twenty nineteen.
Moving back to some old school here, Second Home. Let's
talk about this one, still got it was one of
my favorite ones. You guys have played out had I mean, again,
I love the movie, but of course again I love
the song that much more Moneyball.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
That's how great record, man.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
I love this.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Yeah, Well, I think they kind of go together in
the sense that Second Home is about traveling.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
So before we were going on air.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
I was saying, I came back from Amsterdam, and I've
been to Amsterdam over thirty times now.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
And it's always for business.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Sometimes i might just stop over for a day because
I'm on the way to Croatia.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
But I managed to have a lot of good friends there.
You know.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
I think with music nowadays, it's not so much about fans.
It's like a community of people. And I really feel
supported by different communities, whether it's an Amsterdam or can France,
or London, England or Vancouver, British Columbia. I think it's
great when you can have a second home, a place
that you know is not where you grew up at,
(08:55):
but you've made some good, friendly connections there. You know,
somebody invites you over to the house for a scotch
and a cigar and a good meal. You know, you
got to appreciate that. And the other part with that
with Moneyball is it's about saying to myself. At a
point in my career, I realized, I don't know how
long I want to be a performer. I've learned a
(09:16):
lot from being a performer. Kind of want to help
the young generation, and so you want to scout talent,
but you also want to.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Make sure that they want it, they want to work hard.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
For it, because for me, I had to do a
lot of work myself. And yes, I'm trying to make
it easier for the next generation, but you got to
have a work ethic, and I think that's what's missing
with a lot of artists these days.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
But at the same time, I shouldn't say that, because
to be.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
An artist these days and the streaming are you also
have to be a content creator, so you do have
to work really hard to develop all that content content.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
But I'm also like, if I can find a good artist,
let's get.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Some moneyball on and I'll bring you out to one
my second homes around the world and I'll put you onto.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
My community, so then your community expands.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
And I think that's something helpful that artists have top
me is is to build with other communities. You're not
taking somebody else's fan by opening up for them, but
you're just building more and more fans across.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Pollenagen very much makes sense and great advice for new
artists to kind of, like I said, kind of heed
that advice going into it now looking back at such
a grind, no doubt we're gonna come back and actually
talk about one of Do Gibson's albums called on This
Grind that came out back in twenty sixteen, one of
my favorite ones out there too. If you guys want

all the DSPs, and of course check out I Am
(10:41):

Speaker 6 (11:12):
Hey y'all, this is Nashville recording artist Rainer Roberts and
you're listening to the award nominated Backstage Pass on ky
B in ninety eight point one, your Bay Area broadcasting
network and on iHeartRadio podcasts and anytime at the Sports
Guys podcast dot com. You can also stream on THWN

Speaker 2 (11:33):
Back your Dio Gibson on the backstage, past kyb in
ninety eight point one, your Bay Area Broadcasting Network and
out there to the sports Guys podcast dot com and
of course iHeartRadio podcasts anytime you guys want that, presented
by Kayden Gordon there the kadangordonshow dot com, Today's best
Country Mix, and our friends at B and B Construction Services.
You know, guys, those barn dominiums are becoming very popular today.
(11:53):
They're based out of Sealy, Texas. Custom homes, commercial remodels,
and steel buildings. Give them a call. Seven one, three,
eight nine, Z twenty five fifty one. That's Brent out there,
done correct and with respect out there, kind of like
Deo Gibson's music out there too. At the same time,
see how we did that here on the backstage. Hey,
let's talk about on this grind because you mentioned giving
in that a little bit advice to younger artists today
(12:14):
and taking somebody who wants it bad enough from that
last record called Second Home. But this one is one
that leads off we can't stop, won't stop, and it
never looks bad right.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
I was just listening it to it yesterday and I
love it because my son was young.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
At the time, five he's doing the intro on there.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
But one of my favorite songs from there is No Traffic,
and I actually shot the music video for that in
the south of France on a helicopter from the airport.
We figured, let's let's just take a helicopter. It'll make
for some good content. But it's the message in that
song is when you are in your own lane, you
(12:56):
don't have to worry about competition. I think that's an
important message for creatives, for business people, for young people.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
It's kind of to own your niche.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
So I never felt that I had competition with other
rappers in my city because I was or my country,
because I was doing something that I was uniquely fit into.
So I didn't really worry about what anybody else was doing.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
That's a good thing and being authentic and being kind
of true to yourself. And I believe you actually had
put out a song that was actually more authentic. I
believe this was five and this year too. Talk about this.
It's so important that artists, even these days, you're right,
no matter what genre of music, really stick to what
they know and what they've been talking, they earned over
the years, and then authenticity, it's really important it comes
out right.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
I think it always comes out because what I say
in that song is if you're looking through my life,
you see the highlight reels, no second takes.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
It's just how I feel.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
If you don't like it, I'm like, all right, chill,
no filter, need it because my life real.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
A lot of times when you post on social media,
you just post.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Your highs, your wins, and I think it's really important
sometimes to just be authentic and show your life documented.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
You don't have to invent it.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Because I was talking to an older artist who doesn't
really want to, you know, take pictures and do tiktoks,
and I said, you can just show yourself in the studio.
You don't even have to talk. You're just playing a
keyboard or whatnot, and your fans.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Will want to see that.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
I think as a fan of music, I like when
artists are real. I like when they're vulnerable and transparent.
And I think with today, with everything we deal with
in politics, that it is really important to just be
transparent and to be as honest as you can.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Very much so too, especially like you said that music
industry too. We got to take a final time out
here more with Dio Gibson. Final segment coming up of
getting to a little bit of the old school stuff
up there too.

Give Brenna call seven one three eight nine zero, twenty
five fifty one, and of course thanks to all the
great work the Caden Gordon Show does here on the
backstage pass. All right, my friend, we got to talk
about it too, I mentioned Northern hospitality was the track
(16:44):
off of Seeds and Dominoes give us a lowdown.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
Now, Well, everybody talks about Southern hospitality as well known.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
But you know, I was watching some guys from Toronto
earlier today just talk about what.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
Americans talk about Canadians.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
It's always like a backhanded compliment by saying how nice
we are and how polite we are. Well, aren't they
nice and polite in the South too, so you think so, uh,
But Northern hospitality means, you know, Canadians are also very generous.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
So I love that I.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Was able to do multiple events in other cities, whether
it's in Amsterdam or or we Can but also throughout
the United States and New York City and Los Angeles,
I would put on events called Northern Hospitality that helps
showcase Canadian talent. So I wanted to have kind of
a theme song about it, because when you come to
a Canadian party, you're always just more than welcome. People
(17:42):
are nice and friendly and you always have a good time.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
You do.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
And I've got some friends that live over and that's
the Province Alberta out there too, so I've been there
back at seventeen and you're right. You get over to
somebody's house, you're coming for a party or get together.
They love to eat and they're gonna come for a
good party out there. Hey off the same record, hype call,
love this one too, tell us all about this one.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
A hype call is something I came up with because
one of my mentors in business had advised me to
go to this event, and I was like, it's a
lot of money, it's a few thousand dollars to invest.
I went one time. I don't know if I came
up with anything there, and he said, doo. Some days
I'm just in the Caribbean and I'm on my phone
(18:23):
and I just go through my contacts and I'm like, oh,
i ben't talked to this.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Person for a long time. I'm just gonna give them
a call.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Nowadays, we live in a world where you know you're
supposed to text somebody before you call, but a hype
call just means you're gonna give somebody a call out
of the blue, touch base with them, and even if
they don't pick up the phone, they'll see that you
made the attempt to call them.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
And maybe you know you play phone tag.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
But sometimes I'll be in another country and I'll call
one of my friends back home just to touch base.
But it's just to share good mone moments, good memories,
reminisce sometimes talk about how you're doing nowadays.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Yeah, and it's cool just to check up on somebody
to see how they're doing. All right, That's exactly the
last thing. And I'm never like, I'm always against that rule.
I don't ever text before I call this. Absolutely. Somebody
asked me to touch up upon and say, I'm back
in the old days when I grew up. It was
an eighties kid, and I'm like, I just picked it up.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
How you doing?
Speaker 4 (19:24):
How you doing? I learn manners, Yes, to learn manners.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Because when you call somebody's else, their mother might pick up, Hey,
miss missus maul, can I speak to.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Brandon for a second. Please? You have to say please
or thank you.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
And you never know She's like, who's calling? What's your name?
Speaker 4 (19:43):
Exactly? Moved in?
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Exactly a kid who moved in. Let's talk about the
North Star. So many good songs off of this one too.
Every time you come on, I got to touch base
on this one. Just sobody great songs. Something on my
mind was breathless and we go on from Yes y'all
Lost time for a lot of cool things here some
of your favorite tracks off of that one, right.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Definitely, it's kind of what put me on the map.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Especially in Toronto and in Canada because the song on
Their Young Brother kind of surprised me because that's more
of a conscious song.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
That's really the first time I came.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Out with a conscious song, you could say, because I
was talking about young men growing up and that's the
song that got me a lot of play on the radio.
It was one of the top songs of the year,
and that was the same year that Drake came out
in Toronto and that song actually did better than Drake
songs at the time.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
Two.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
So not surprised.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
No, playing Famou and the bonus track on that album
for my group part of.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Fresh Get Free. Drake does a cameo in the video too.
That's pretty cool. So I'm always team Drake, never team
Kendrick Man.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
A lot of great sounds come out, especially on the
R and B side too, and like I said, it
is pretty cool. I just met one of the legends
in the industry that, like I mentioned there in Nashville
with Acon, one of the nicest guys. Yeah, and just
so many great collaborations. He's he's had to put so
many great artists on the map, and of course including
himself with all the great collapse he's done out there too.
Al Right, let's have all the fun as we close
the show too. Look, I know this NBA offseason is
(21:17):
getting crazy right now. I know my rocket's down here
in Houston. I'm excited about the acquisition of Kevin Durant.
I think we're gonna take the next Stepranise. A lot
of young pieces here. Just resigned Fred van Vliet today too.
I know a guy you know very well in in Toronto.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Back at it. There's the Jursey. Yeah, it's I love
it too.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
But championship experience. Let's talk about this. What are the
Raptors do in the draft? And looking forward to this
fall coming up for the twenty twenty five twenty twenty
sixth season.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
It's hard to be a Raptors fan right now. What
I do love about the NBA is there's a lot
of parody and you can change, you know, your fortunes
pretty quick. We're really hoping for a big step forward
from Scotty Barnes because when we won the champion and
ship you know it was and Kevin Durant was getting traded.
(22:05):
We almost could have got him for Scottie Barnes, but
they didn't want to include him in the deal.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
But he's a kid. He's only like twenty four years old.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
But what I do like about our GM, we always
say in MESSI we trust because he brought us a championship,
which was a pretty cool thing. But he is able
to find that talent that is kind of raw and undefined.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
And he's been doing it for years.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
It was so cool to see Pascal Siakam, who was
just a kid out of nowhere, late first round draft pick,
you know, dominate in the finals. Fred van Vliet either
he's undrafted or he's a deep second round pick. So
I think the key moving forward for the Raptors and
for all teams is it's not necessarily about having the
(22:54):
number one through five picks because there's a lot of
busts in them too. But I got to say Prockets
are looking really good because they have such a deep
young core. You don't even play Reed Sepherd or Karen Whipmore.
Tarry Easton is the beast. Am Thompson you know, the
list goes on. It's and the fact that they didn't
(23:14):
have to give up. Those guys including Jabari Smith haven't
even talked about self going. But and you know, and
then you got veterans like Steven Adams like I think
okay See might have a run for their money.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
It will be fun, man.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
That West is gonna be fun there too, with the
Denver Nuggets of Minnesota, Timberwolves, Okac and the Rockets, and
of course the Spurs on their way up, Victor winbin Yama,
no doubt about it, very well known in France. And
of course I love this young corps. You mentioned uh
Massign when he's done there too, with the Toronto Raptors too,
with R. J. Barrett who we know very well down there,
to Scottie Barnes and of course Brendon Ingram. Still a
lot of game left and of course Jamal she they got.
(23:51):
It's a very good talented group and actually number nine pick,
I believe in.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
The number nine.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Yes, But the the NBA is is really all about
staying hell healthy because you know what, Jason Tatum going
down Halliburton, Oh.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
My goodness, that broke my heart on the finals. But
it's it's really about staying healthy.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Because even the Raptors when we won the championship because
Kevin Durant got injured. So the way that the league
can change so quick with just an injury to one
or two players has a lot of teams feeling they
they've got a shot. And the Raptors weren't healthy last year.
But if we can stay healthy, hey we might surprise
some people.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
I think Boston is breaking it up to Christaph perzingis.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Now with thet freaking deal he's gone to and of
course looking back at it to just some other trades
they made, Drew Holiday back to the Blazers. So this
is going to be a very unique offseason. You mentioned
Tatum's now hurt, I mean Kyrie Irving Achilles. It's it's
been a hell of an offseason for NBA players. And
then my heart, like the stop on a dime, it
was we're seeing Helliburton. What happened the other day Sunday night.
(24:52):
I just I felt for him and I just chrazy.
That's tough right there too. All right, well, I tell
you what, brother, I appreciate you always being on the program.

Speaker 4 (01:15):
Oh yeah, doing great, Nice to be back. Always good
to see.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
You, brother, Always good to see you too. Let's talk
about this one out of the gate man. I'm just
opening up the floodgates right there too. And we all
love our fathers and just passed Father's Day here with
June coming to an end and July kicking off, and
this new one, you guys would put out a dad
I did it, a feature in Socrates across all the DSPs,
tell us all about it, the idea of the writing
and the lyric of you guys. I feel like, y'all
(01:39):
you really accomplished on this track, no doubt.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I think it all started for me watching the BET
Awards because Usher was accepting a Lifetime Achievement award and
he said, everybody always says Mama made it. I even
made a song called that, but it's frequent people say that.
But he said, we need to start giving love and
respect to our fathers. It's about time we said dad,
I did it. And I thought that was such a
(02:04):
nice message to send because in hip hop in particular,
we don't say a lot of good things about our fathers.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Even just on I was just driving around right now
is listening to an.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Old Naughty by Nature song and it's talking about a
bad relationship he had with his father. And I think
that it's really important to give love to fathers, and
in particular to black men as fathers.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
I was raised by a black man who was a.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Preacher, who was told you shouldn't go to college or university,
go work in the steel factory in town. And his
mother walked into school and said, no, my son is
going to go to college or university. And my dad
has his doctorate in ministry. And I'm really proud of
him for that. And so I wanted to make a
song not just about me, but about fathers so that
(02:51):
people could relate to it and just echo that feeling,
because to me, there's a great feeling when you get.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
A chance to go say to your dad, dad did it.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
I mean I love the lyrics in that too, And
like I said, I know I lost my my dad
almost two years ago, this November coming up, and it
just unexpectedly, but it happened. And honestly, just say those
words every day, whether it be the spiritual sense and
for for most people that still have their their father's
living the physical sense. It's it's just you can say
it and I still hear it and they remember it.
And I commend you guys on a great track out
there and check it out across all those streaming UH
(03:22):
platforms you were you know, we're talking a little bit
before the show. I got back from CMA week in
Nashville up there too, and you never know you're gonna
run into When I say the stars come out, I
mean that is like a reunion of all music, but
especially country music there too. And now these crossovers uh
akon Gary l Vox, Rascal Flats collaborate on a new
tune Hold the Umbrella, which is kind of like a
summer anthem. Now, want to get your thoughts on a
(03:43):
lot of these cool things, a lot of the crossovers.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
And this has not been something that is just now happening.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Deal.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
This has been going on in the past four or
five years with some of your your R and B
artists and your your pop artists crossing over into a
genre which now country's becoming more uh just bigger and
better out there. To talk about that and give me
some thoughts on the crossovers and the collaborations that are
going on.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
I love crossovers and collaborations.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
My family's from Nova Scotia and Kate Breton Nova Scotia,
and there's a long songwriting tradition and it's funny because
you can't.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
Really put a genre on it.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
You don't know if it's like Celtic music or it's
part country and then it's just infused with some bluegrass.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
But then you might see an R and B singer
a rapper on top of it.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
And so I come from a tradition of songwriters and
songwriting communities that I like it. But it's really cool
to see it really hit the mainstream, that artists are
realizing they can take risks and explore genres and put
things together.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
And I think it's a great way of bringing people together.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Because growing up, if somebody talked about country music, I
was like, I don't really like country. But then you
but you know, you learn to appreciate it when you're
exposed to it and now like I could say, like, yeah,
I like. And it's not just because of those fusions,
but you appreciate different genres of music, and I think
(05:06):
it's really important for a young generation to experience those
different genres of music. Just because you like hip hop
doesn't mean you can't like country, doesn't mean you can't
like metal.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Just like good music exactly, something with a great sound
and a good beat. And I said it will definitely
resonate with fans out there. Hey, take me back to
the last record too, Still Driven. I want to talk
about a lot of the songs off of there too
at the same time, love this record too. A lot
of good collabs on there too at the same time,
including that title track, a lot of good memories there
and twenty songs that you guys have put out for
(05:38):
the record.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yeah, yeah, I love putting it out Because my first
album was called Stage Driven, and my motivational speaking program
I tour a lot of schools I do a hip
hop program has always been stay driven.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
But after getting to twenty years in the business, I.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Love the message of being still driven because you can
always have an idea, especially when you're young. But to
stick with that same idea and throughout the course, especially
of music. But in any business that you're in, there's
been so many changes. But I really wanted to come
out with that message of still Dritten.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
I love it too.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
A lot of great songs off of there too, and
so many great records you've put out to You mentioned
how the business has changed, and look at streaming now
compared to the way it was listening to some of
those old classics by a lot of great singers out
there too. I kind of went through my rolodex. It
was like those old Acon songs are coming back as
the survivor, and so many other ones there too that
I grew up on too. Looking back at it, how
(06:36):
much is streaming changed it, I guess for the good
end for the bad in the last twenty years.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
I think it's really good in the sense that you know,
when I'm anywhere in the world, it's in Amsterdam, I
was in France. I can just give somebody my contact
on Instagram and then they can go back and listen
to my music right away. And I remember when I
traveled to Japan the first time, we had to bring
two hundred CDs, which is bulky to travel with. But
(07:06):
at the same time, what I loved about before streaming
is having that physical product, that being able to sell
that CD kind of meant something to someone, because the
reality is with streaming, a lot of artists don't generate
any money or any revenue or significant revenue. Whereas when
(07:27):
it was like iTunes and people purchase music or people
purchased physical copies, artists in general tended to make a
little bit more money, but you also had to invest
a lot more money into studio time and the mixing
and pressing the CDs. So I think there's best of
both worlds. But you always have to adapt with the times.
(07:49):
And I'm really happy that anyone can listen to my
music at any time.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Love it too. And this other record was twenty nineteen.
Moving back to some old school here, Second Home. Let's
talk about this one, still got it was one of
my favorite ones. You guys have played out had I mean, again,
I love the movie, but of course again I love
the song that much more Moneyball.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
That's how great record, man.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
I love this.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Yeah, Well, I think they kind of go together in
the sense that Second Home is about traveling.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
So before we were going on air.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
I was saying, I came back from Amsterdam, and I've
been to Amsterdam over thirty times now.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
And it's always for business.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Sometimes i might just stop over for a day because
I'm on the way to Croatia.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
But I managed to have a lot of good friends there.
You know.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
I think with music nowadays, it's not so much about fans.
It's like a community of people. And I really feel
supported by different communities, whether it's an Amsterdam or can France,
or London, England or Vancouver, British Columbia. I think it's
great when you can have a second home, a place
that you know is not where you grew up at,
(08:55):
but you've made some good, friendly connections there. You know,
somebody invites you over to the house for a scotch
and a cigar and a good meal. You know, you
got to appreciate that. And the other part with that
with Moneyball is it's about saying to myself. At a
point in my career, I realized, I don't know how
long I want to be a performer. I've learned a
(09:16):
lot from being a performer. Kind of want to help
the young generation, and so you want to scout talent,
but you also want to.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Make sure that they want it, they want to work hard.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
For it, because for me, I had to do a
lot of work myself. And yes, I'm trying to make
it easier for the next generation, but you got to
have a work ethic, and I think that's what's missing
with a lot of artists these days.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
But at the same time, I shouldn't say that, because
to be.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
An artist these days and the streaming are you also
have to be a content creator, so you do have
to work really hard to develop all that content content.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
But I'm also like, if I can find a good artist,
let's get.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Some moneyball on and I'll bring you out to one
my second homes around the world and I'll put you onto.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
My community, so then your community expands.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
And I think that's something helpful that artists have top
me is is to build with other communities. You're not
taking somebody else's fan by opening up for them, but
you're just building more and more fans across.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Pollenagen very much makes sense and great advice for new
artists to kind of, like I said, kind of heed
that advice going into it now looking back at such
a grind, no doubt we're gonna come back and actually
talk about one of Do Gibson's albums called on This
Grind that came out back in twenty sixteen, one of
my favorite ones out there too. If you guys want
to stream the music out there, check you out across
all the DSPs, and of course check out I Am
(10:41):

course the latest single Dad I Did It across all

Speaker 6 (11:12):
Hey y'all, this is Nashville recording artist Rainer Roberts and
you're listening to the award nominated Backstage Pass on ky
B in ninety eight point one, your Bay Area broadcasting
network and on iHeartRadio podcasts and anytime at the Sports
Guys podcast dot com. You can also stream on THWN

out there to the sports Guys podcast dot com and
of course iHeartRadio podcasts anytime you guys want that, presented
by Kayden Gordon there the kadangordonshow dot com, Today's best
Country Mix, and our friends at B and B Construction Services.
You know, guys, those barn dominiums are becoming very popular today.
(11:53):
They're based out of Sealy, Texas. Custom homes, commercial remodels,
and steel buildings. Give them a call. Seven one, three,
eight nine, Z twenty five fifty one. That's Brent out there,
done correct and with respect out there, kind of like
Deo Gibson's music out there too. At the same time,
see how we did that here on the backstage. Hey,
let's talk about on this grind because you mentioned giving
in that a little bit advice to younger artists today
(12:14):
and taking somebody who wants it bad enough from that
last record called Second Home. But this one is one
that leads off we can't stop, won't stop, and it
never looks bad right.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
I was just listening it to it yesterday and I
love it because my son was young.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
At the time, five he's doing the intro on there.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
But one of my favorite songs from there is No Traffic,
and I actually shot the music video for that in
the south of France on a helicopter from the airport.
We figured, let's let's just take a helicopter. It'll make
for some good content. But it's the message in that
song is when you are in your own lane, you
(12:56):
don't have to worry about competition. I think that's an
important message for creatives, for business people, for young people.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
It's kind of to own your niche.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
So I never felt that I had competition with other
rappers in my city because I was or my country,
because I was doing something that I was uniquely fit into.
So I didn't really worry about what anybody else was doing.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
That's a good thing and being authentic and being kind
of true to yourself. And I believe you actually had
put out a song that was actually more authentic. I
believe this was five and this year too. Talk about this.
It's so important that artists, even these days, you're right,
no matter what genre of music, really stick to what
they know and what they've been talking, they earned over
the years, and then authenticity, it's really important it comes
out right.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
I think it always comes out because what I say
in that song is if you're looking through my life,
you see the highlight reels, no second takes.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
It's just how I feel.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
If you don't like it, I'm like, all right, chill,
no filter, need it because my life real.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
A lot of times when you post on social media,
you just post.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Your highs, your wins, and I think it's really important
sometimes to just be authentic and show your life documented.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
You don't have to invent it.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Because I was talking to an older artist who doesn't
really want to, you know, take pictures and do tiktoks,
and I said, you can just show yourself in the studio.
You don't even have to talk. You're just playing a
keyboard or whatnot, and your fans.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Will want to see that.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
I think as a fan of music, I like when
artists are real. I like when they're vulnerable and transparent.
And I think with today, with everything we deal with
in politics, that it is really important to just be
transparent and to be as honest as you can.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Very much so too, especially like you said that music
industry too. We got to take a final time out
here more with Dio Gibson. Final segment coming up of
getting to a little bit of the old school stuff

great work the Caden Gordon Show does here on the
backstage pass. All right, my friend, we got to talk
about it too, I mentioned Northern hospitality was the track
(16:44):
off of Seeds and Dominoes give us a lowdown.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
Now, Well, everybody talks about Southern hospitality as well known.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
But you know, I was watching some guys from Toronto
earlier today just talk about what.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
Americans talk about Canadians.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
It's always like a backhanded compliment by saying how nice
we are and how polite we are. Well, aren't they
nice and polite in the South too, so you think so, uh,
But Northern hospitality means, you know, Canadians are also very generous.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
So I love that I.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Was able to do multiple events in other cities, whether
it's in Amsterdam or or we Can but also throughout
the United States and New York City and Los Angeles,
I would put on events called Northern Hospitality that helps
showcase Canadian talent. So I wanted to have kind of
a theme song about it, because when you come to
a Canadian party, you're always just more than welcome. People
(17:42):
are nice and friendly and you always have a good time.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
You do.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
And I've got some friends that live over and that's
the Province Alberta out there too, so I've been there
back at seventeen and you're right. You get over to
somebody's house, you're coming for a party or get together.
They love to eat and they're gonna come for a
good party out there. Hey off the same record, hype call,
love this one too, tell us all about this one.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
A hype call is something I came up with because
one of my mentors in business had advised me to
go to this event, and I was like, it's a
lot of money, it's a few thousand dollars to invest.
I went one time. I don't know if I came
up with anything there, and he said, doo. Some days
I'm just in the Caribbean and I'm on my phone
(18:23):
and I just go through my contacts and I'm like, oh,
i ben't talked to this.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Person for a long time. I'm just gonna give them
a call.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Nowadays, we live in a world where you know you're
supposed to text somebody before you call, but a hype
call just means you're gonna give somebody a call out
of the blue, touch base with them, and even if
they don't pick up the phone, they'll see that you
made the attempt to call them.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
And maybe you know you play phone tag.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
But sometimes I'll be in another country and I'll call
one of my friends back home just to touch base.
But it's just to share good mone moments, good memories,
reminisce sometimes talk about how you're doing nowadays.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Yeah, and it's cool just to check up on somebody
to see how they're doing. All right, That's exactly the
last thing. And I'm never like, I'm always against that rule.
I don't ever text before I call this. Absolutely. Somebody
asked me to touch up upon and say, I'm back
in the old days when I grew up. It was
an eighties kid, and I'm like, I just picked it up.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
How you doing?
Speaker 4 (19:24):
How you doing? I learn manners, Yes, to learn manners.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Because when you call somebody's else, their mother might pick up, Hey,
miss missus maul, can I speak to.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Brandon for a second. Please? You have to say please
or thank you.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
And you never know She's like, who's calling? What's your name?
Speaker 4 (19:43):
Exactly? Moved in?
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Exactly a kid who moved in. Let's talk about the
North Star. So many good songs off of this one too.
Every time you come on, I got to touch base
on this one. Just sobody great songs. Something on my
mind was breathless and we go on from Yes y'all
Lost time for a lot of cool things here some
of your favorite tracks off of that one, right.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Definitely, it's kind of what put me on the map.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Especially in Toronto and in Canada because the song on
Their Young Brother kind of surprised me because that's more
of a conscious song.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
That's really the first time I came.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Out with a conscious song, you could say, because I
was talking about young men growing up and that's the
song that got me a lot of play on the radio.
It was one of the top songs of the year,
and that was the same year that Drake came out
in Toronto and that song actually did better than Drake
songs at the time.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
Two.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
So not surprised.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
No, playing Famou and the bonus track on that album
for my group part of.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Fresh Get Free. Drake does a cameo in the video too.
That's pretty cool. So I'm always team Drake, never team
Kendrick Man.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
A lot of great sounds come out, especially on the
R and B side too, and like I said, it
is pretty cool. I just met one of the legends
in the industry that, like I mentioned there in Nashville
with Acon, one of the nicest guys. Yeah, and just
so many great collaborations. He's he's had to put so
many great artists on the map, and of course including
himself with all the great collapse he's done out there too.
Al Right, let's have all the fun as we close
the show too. Look, I know this NBA offseason is
(21:17):
getting crazy right now. I know my rocket's down here
in Houston. I'm excited about the acquisition of Kevin Durant.
I think we're gonna take the next Stepranise. A lot
of young pieces here. Just resigned Fred van Vliet today too.
I know a guy you know very well in in Toronto.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Back at it. There's the Jursey. Yeah, it's I love
it too.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
But championship experience. Let's talk about this. What are the
Raptors do in the draft? And looking forward to this
fall coming up for the twenty twenty five twenty twenty
sixth season.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
It's hard to be a Raptors fan right now. What
I do love about the NBA is there's a lot
of parody and you can change, you know, your fortunes
pretty quick. We're really hoping for a big step forward
from Scotty Barnes because when we won the champion and
ship you know it was and Kevin Durant was getting traded.
(22:05):
We almost could have got him for Scottie Barnes, but
they didn't want to include him in the deal.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
But he's a kid. He's only like twenty four years old.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
But what I do like about our GM, we always
say in MESSI we trust because he brought us a championship,
which was a pretty cool thing. But he is able
to find that talent that is kind of raw and undefined.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
And he's been doing it for years.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
It was so cool to see Pascal Siakam, who was
just a kid out of nowhere, late first round draft pick,
you know, dominate in the finals. Fred van Vliet either
he's undrafted or he's a deep second round pick. So
I think the key moving forward for the Raptors and
for all teams is it's not necessarily about having the
(22:54):
number one through five picks because there's a lot of
busts in them too. But I got to say Prockets
are looking really good because they have such a deep
young core. You don't even play Reed Sepherd or Karen Whipmore.
Tarry Easton is the beast. Am Thompson you know, the
list goes on. It's and the fact that they didn't
(23:14):
have to give up. Those guys including Jabari Smith haven't
even talked about self going. But and you know, and
then you got veterans like Steven Adams like I think
okay See might have a run for their money.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
It will be fun, man.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
That West is gonna be fun there too, with the
Denver Nuggets of Minnesota, Timberwolves, Okac and the Rockets, and
of course the Spurs on their way up, Victor winbin Yama,
no doubt about it, very well known in France. And
of course I love this young corps. You mentioned uh
Massign when he's done there too, with the Toronto Raptors too,
with R. J. Barrett who we know very well down there,
to Scottie Barnes and of course Brendon Ingram. Still a
lot of game left and of course Jamal she they got.
(23:51):
It's a very good talented group and actually number nine pick,
I believe in.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
The number nine.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Yes, But the the NBA is is really all about
staying hell healthy because you know what, Jason Tatum going
down Halliburton, Oh.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
My goodness, that broke my heart on the finals. But
it's it's really about staying healthy.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Because even the Raptors when we won the championship because
Kevin Durant got injured. So the way that the league
can change so quick with just an injury to one
or two players has a lot of teams feeling they
they've got a shot. And the Raptors weren't healthy last year.
But if we can stay healthy, hey we might surprise
some people.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
I think Boston is breaking it up to Christaph perzingis.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Now with thet freaking deal he's gone to and of
course looking back at it to just some other trades
they made, Drew Holiday back to the Blazers. So this
is going to be a very unique offseason. You mentioned
Tatum's now hurt, I mean Kyrie Irving Achilles. It's it's
been a hell of an offseason for NBA players. And
then my heart, like the stop on a dime, it
was we're seeing Helliburton. What happened the other day Sunday night.
(24:52):
I just I felt for him and I just chrazy.
That's tough right there too. All right, well, I tell
you what, brother, I appreciate you always being on the program.
