The Memphis hip-hop scene is in the midst of a revolution. The city’s youngest and brightest talents are not only developing their own distinct sound, but they’re also finally beginning to share it with the rest of the country.

Now, he’s finally begun to make a name for himself by crafting beats for artists like Bladee and Megan Thee Stallion. But it was his recent summer anthem alongside GloRilla that really put him on the map. Want to know how this one-time football stud got into music? Then keep your eyes right here for the next few minutes because you’re about to find out more about HitKidd on our newest episode of Before They Were Famous!

Now if you guys are anything like me then you probably engage with alot of social media content and as we know these days everybody does a lot of scrolling and this big inescapable word everybody keeps using: algorithm, everything depends on the algorithm. And if your algorithm has been algorthiming like mine and seemingly everybody's feed is loaded to the brim with Andrew Tate content. It's like no matter what you do he's everywhere, across every social media platform, especially Tik Tok you come across a barrage of Andrew Tate clips, usually of him talking, getting into his typical bag of controversial views on women and dating. Depending on who you are there are a variety of reactions you have to Andrew’s content and honestly, it seems like regardless if it is positive or negative, it will bolster his videos to the top of the algorithm, there's that word again. However, Andrew is not the first person to utilize this module of creating content he for sure is having one of the most unique runs. The foundation of viewership comes from the same vein as guys like Fresh and Fit, Kevin Samuels, and Sneako, this is a genre or space that many refer to as the manosphere or the red pill space. Not going to divulge too far into the details of that space but that's for the most part where his content started to grow and now it's very much beyond the manosphere and infiltrated most areas of social media to the point where the dude is practically a fixture in pop culture. Like I said Tate is not the first to set the internet on fire like this, but that doesn't exactly answer the question: Why? Why is he everywhere and I cannot escape him, well it actually is a little deeper than him ruffling people's feathers, rallying the manosphere, and getting lots of views, there is actually a very genius some describe it as a dark sinister method to Andrew Tates madness so we are going breakdown why exactly you see this man everywhere right here on Before they were famous

Charleston White is a former Texas gang member who, after serving nearly a decade behind bars for some pretty major juvenile transgressions, has now managed to turn his life around by both sharing his story on social media with one or two (okay, maybe a lot of) controversial opinions sprinkled in along the way. These days he tends to introduce himself as the CEO and founder of HYPE, which stands for Helping Young People Excel – but for as much as good as he seems to be doing for his community, what really grabs peoples’ attention is the way he refuses to mince words and never holds back from a seemingly endless barrage of controversial opinions on everything from DMX to George Floyd. How did White go from a kid looking at potentially spending his adult life behind bars to someone hoping to prevent others from doing the same? That’s what you’re about to find out on this new episode of Before They Were Famous.

When it comes to a particular side of the internet, you know that side that makes up about 35% of all internet content, you know the part of the internet that makes you delete your search history, well one of the biggest stars in that respective industry is none other than Emily Willis. Now she said in a Jake Paul video that Emily Willis isn’t her real name and it is just her stage name but I can't find her real name so she did a good job at covering that up! She was born on December 29th, 1998, making her 23 at the time of this recording. I have also read conflicting reports on where she was born - some say originally from Utah and others say born in Argentina - either way, she’s of Argentinian descent. According to heightwiki, she moved to Utah at the age of seven with her mother and spent her childhood in St George, a small village near Vegas. Around this time, her mother married an American man of the Mormon church. Emily grew up doing a lot of hiking, hunting, fishing, and outdoorsy activities and worked a lot of door-to-door sales and retail before finding the career that she knew she’d excel at. Now she is a renowned star and even made an appearance recently on the ultra-popular YouTube series Sidemen Tinder. Also, be sure to check out coverage on the Sidemen crew.

You might not imagine this to be the case thanks to his rather unassuming demeanor, but the YouTuber known the world over as WroeToShaw is one of the most financially successful content creators ever. Sure, his actual overall net worth might not be quite as high as the $20 Million that websites like Nailbuzz.com peg it to be, but to say that creating comedy bits, real-life vlogs, gameplay streams and a boatload of challenge videos have left the young man otherwise known as Harry Lewis living a charmed life, would probably be the understatement of the century. After all, it’s not many people who could afford the 50th Anniversary Edition of the ultra-rare Lamborghini Gallardo – but Harry sure could. Then there’s the spectacular house he bought for himself on his home island of Guernsey. Seriously -- what better place could there be to self-isolate during a worldwide pandemic? Finally, there’s all that cash he likes to spend on people outside of himself, like when he dropped nearly $10,000 in just ten minutes by buying gifts for his insanely lucky brother and sister. And to think that it all started with a few legendary freak-outs to some FIFA gameplay streams. Harry’s explosive personality on YouTube has always been his bread and butter, but over the past few years he’s also made a pretty penny from his association with the Sidemen brand not to mention a bevy of strategic partnerships with big-name brands along the way. So, if you’ve ever wondered how WroeToShaw managed to become one of the most successful YouTubers of all time, well, you’re about to find out in this new episode of the Rich Life.

We’ve entered the stretch-run for our Sidemen content here at Before They Were Famous. Today, we’ve got our final entry set to shine a light on the come-up of the second most subscribed-to member of the group -- and also the youngest -- WroeToShaw, aka, Harry. Not unlike KSI and Vikkstar, Harry did a lot of his own heavy lifting when it came to building up a brand and audience as one of YouTube’s original trailblazers. But once the Sidemen came calling to offer him a spot on their roster, he couldn’t say no -- and it was probably the best business decision he’s ever made. In fact, with the collective’s help, this energetic young man has established himself as one of the most popular British YouTubers of all time. How did joining forces with the Sidemen help him reach his full potential? You’re about to find out!

Vikkstar123 is best known for his association with the Sidemen, a content collective that revolutionized the industry when it got its start almost ten years ago. But prior to joining that supergroup, Vik had already done one hell of a job carving himself out his own little corner of content creation supremacy by streaming his gifted gameplay skills for series like “Modern Warfare 2” and “Minecraft”. Then the Sidemen came calling asking for technical support and before he knew it, this one-time potential doctor was the newest member of the group. Today, he’s also one of their most popular and has more than 3 billion views on his solo channels alone. How did he find his niche in a market that was far from fully formed when he entered it as a teenager? You’re about to find out as we continue with our special coverage of the Sidemen here on Before They Were Famous!

Behzinga! That’s not only the former catch-phrase of one Sheldon Cooper, it also just so happens to be the handle of one of the UK’s most influential YouTubers ever. I’m talking, of course, about Ethan Payne, one-seventh of the online collective known as the Sidemen and the very individual who came up with the idea for the group in the first place! Much like the rest of his mates, Ethan has carved out a spectacular career for himself as a content creator and has earned a pretty astounding sum of money along the way, with estimates from sites like Nail Buzz.com believing him to be worth as much as $2 Million. This incredible wealth has afforded Ethan the opportunity to achieve his dream life after an incredibly difficult childhood that left him with a whole ton of baggage. You can learn more about that on our recent episode of Before They Were Famous, but for now, just know that Ethan has not only been able to afford two dream cars in a Nissan GTR and Range Rover, but he also recently dropped a considerable sum on a brand-new house that he then renovated to his own specifications. Ethan bought that house after falling in love with his girlfriend Faith Louisak, a woman he’s so crazy about that he spent thousands of dollars to take her and her three brothers to the EuroCup Finals in London last year. But when you’re taking handfuls of money by simply hanging out with your friends and creating a metric crap-ton of content -- spending it probably comes easier than it otherwise might. Not that Ethan is only making money from YouTube. He’s also got a ton of Sidemen projects in the works and a number of fitness and exercise-related social media sponsorships that keep him flush with both energy and cash. So, pull up a seat because we’re about to dive into the Rich Life of Behzinga –aka, Ethan Payne – in just a few moments!

We’re rounding the corner on our Sidemen content here at Before They Were Famous and today we’re going to discuss the one member who very well might have had the most difficult come-up of all – Ethan Payne – aka, Behzinga. This young man would become an instrumental part in forming the Sidemen in 2013, but long before he’d get there, he’d have to make his way through a difficult childhood that would leave him feeling abandoned, afraid, and depressed. He did his best to process those feelings, but even after becoming a hugely successful content creator with nearly a Billion solo views to his name, those doubts would find new ways to reemerge. How has he managed to overcome his childhood difficulties only to embrace a totally new and much healthier lifestyle? You’re about to find out that and a whole bunch more in mere seconds.
