Slushy Noobz Finish Cross-Canada Stream, Shift Focus After Reaching 1.5 Million Subscribers

1 articles · Updated · Rolling Stone · Aug 24

Summary

  • Slushy Noobz completed a cross-Canada livestream tour and came away deciding constant IRL streaming is tougher than expected and not their natural format.
  • Inspired by IShowSpeed’s travel marathons, the duo tried to take their friendship live across Canada but gradually stopped forcing content from every stop and focused more on authentic experiences.
  • Hamzah Al-Emad and Martin Andrijasevic said long live broadcasts demand nonstop attention to clippable moments, while their usual edited videos better suit the spontaneous, low-key style that built their audience.
  • More than 1.5 million YouTube subscribers have turned the 2023-launched Toronto channel into a broader internet presence, with appearances alongside NLE Choppa, PlaqueBoyMax and Lil Uzi Vert.
  • Next, the pair say any future live show will likely be a one-off event with guests rather than a road diary, while footage from the tour is being shaped into a documentary.
