It’s been over ten years now since the death of Sydney bodybuilder and one of the pioneers of social media influencing -- Aziz “Zyzz” Shavershian – the young man who was famous for his transformation from a lanky teen with little meat on his bones into a stunning Adonis who made damn near every woman around him swoon thanks to those amazing washboard abs. More than just a bodybuilder, Zyzz was on the search for something beyond gains and personal records as he transformed himself into an internet sensation looking to inspire other young outcasts to stop being what he liked to refer to as “Sad C...” – actually you know what? I can’t finish that sentence. Maybe if I was from England or Australia, but over here in North America, the C-word is a big no, no. Anyway, with the 11-year anniversary of his death just passed, I thought it would be a good time to share his story with you all and look at the legacy he left behind. So, if you wanna go from “jelly” to “Mirin”, then stick with us as we celebrate the life of Zyzz here on Gone but Not Forgotten.

In the world of content creation, it feels like everyday things are dramatically changing, I don't know if you guys have been noticing but there has been a weird shift, especially with the rise of guys like Andrew Tate, Fresh and Fit, and now the oh so polarizing Snеаkо, so I need to put it forward to you guys. Have you guys been noticing this? Nah I mean for real, I know that starting this video off with a fourth wall break is a little intrusive but I just felt this is appropriate because for real, have you guys been paying attention? Are you guys seeing the same thing that I am seeing, are we all looking at this with the same critical eye? There seems to have been an overwhelming exponential growth in a certain demographic of people on the internet, we will refer to this space, group, and demographic as Rеd Pill. There has been a spike in rеd pill content. We will get into what exactly that means later but I think if you have been frequenting the internet recently you have for sure noticed this too.

If you live in Canada or you are apart of the Anti Mask movement anywhere in the world there is no way you haven't heard of Chris Sky or Chris Soccoccia. He's one of the most polarizing personalities in the world right now I wouldn't be surprised if this video gets taken down by YouTube just for mentioning his name. On the other hand, some of his prediction videos continue to go viral like he is some kind of time traveler from the future. We actually had the opportunity to have him visit our studio for a full in depth conversation and we talked about everything... But who is Chris Sky? Where did he come from and where did he find his voice to start speaking his mind. We got lot's to get through!

I think the odds are pretty decent that most of you don’t know a hell of a lot about the up-and-coming UK rapper, Castillo -- after all, even when doing something as rudimentary as searching for his name on Google, it might return 119 Million results, but only a small fraction of that content actually has to do with the rapper himself. In fact, most information pertains to the Seattle Mariner pitcher known as Luis Castillo, who is decidedly not the dude we’re here to talk about today. Which only begs the question, who is this promising young MC who’s pushed himself past the pressure and pain of his single-parent come-up to rack up some incredible views on YouTube? Well, we dug up as much info as we could to answer that question for you. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy our newest episode of Before They Were Famous on the rapper known as Castillo.

When it comes to professional fighting as a means to make a living, athletes end up in one of two camps – either extremely rich or fighting to survive off menial prize money. Tristan Tate’s career as a professional Kickboxer definitely falls into that latter category. So, how has he wound up with an estimated net-worth of $10 Million according to sources like LAD-Bible.com? Better yet – how does he afford to live the life of luxury he so clearly portrays on social media? I’m talking a sports car collection that includes an Aston Martin Vanquish, a BMW M5, and a $300,000 Ferrari 458? I mean, even when he’s not dropping the entire GDP of a small country on a series of unforgettable whips, he’s spending a fortune on his impeccable fashion sense that includes a Breitling Super-Ocean Heritage wrist-watch and footwear that ranges from Gucci to Dolce and Gabbana. He’s even willing to spend a pretty-penny on a couple vices like his bottomless collection of Champagne and a Cigar habit that might be second to none. No matter what social-media platform you’re consuming his content on, odds are you’ve been absolutely inundated by Tristan and his brother, Andrew’s, incredible spending habits. So, that brings us back to our original question. How does he afford all this -- especially considering his Kickboxing career didn’t exactly pack a punch? Well the dirty secret about the Tate brothers isn’t really all that much of a secret at all. Why? Because they’re more than happy to discuss how they earned their fortune by starting their own Webcam business before segueing into the Casino business thanks to a few dubious connections they picked up during their days as fighters. And that’s not all. They’ve also recently started a new venture that they claim is making them money by the fistful. It’s called “Hustler’s University” and if the Tate’s are to be believed, it’s recently been evaluated for an absurd amount. How much is this new business worth? Stay tuned to our newest episode of the Rich Life to find out!

Have you ever dreamt of becoming an international jet-setter? Then that’s one thing you and former kickboxer turned one-time reality-TV contestant and now social media influencer, Tristan Tate, have in common. Tristan grew up alongside his older brother, the equally famous – if not a little more so – Andrew Tate, whose own professional career has provided a roadmap of sorts for his baby bro. After growing up in a council estate in Luton, England – which, trust me, isn’t as fancy as it might sound – these two wouldn’t find true financial stability until later in their adult life when they moved to Romania and opened a series of businesses that ranged from casinos to webcams and probably a little bit of everything in between. Now, Tristan and his brother simply refuse to disappear from your social media feeds whether you want them to or not. Ever wonder how Tristan went from a literal zero to a hero? Want to know more about what he was doing on Reality TV? Well, sit tight as we cover it all in our latest episode of Before They Were Famous.

The Los Angeles-based producer, singer, songwriter, and rapper known as Blxst has made a name for himself by blending hip-hop with R&B – switching back and forth between the two genres more seamlessly than almost any other artist out there. Growing up in South Central, Los Angeles, Blxst would move to California’s Inland Empire when he was still just a kid where he wound up devoting himself to music after becoming isolated in his new environment. He then taught himself how to produce, record and even engineer while watching YouTube tutorials. By 17, he was finally hitting the studios and in 2014 he produced Hitta J3’s “Do Yo Gudda (Remix)”, which got his name circulating throughout the industry, but it would be a number of years before he truly established himself any further. Wanna know what his plans were for the future before becoming a musical sensation? Then keep watching our newest episode of Before They Were Famous to find out!
