Great artists and musicians should be paid, yet we are not.
I have been making my own music for 12 years; every year putting out new albums and, eps, and singles that I put my heart and soul in to. I have not made over $220 from my art.
That amount of money could be considered a lot by newer artists which shows how scarce the actual positions of capital flows are in the art economy.
A lot of people in the world want to do music at a higher level which drives people who only care about maximizing profits to fill useful spaces in the art economy. This puts unqualified people into very important studio jobs.
Those sought after positions should be utilized and reserved for people who have dedicated their whole life effort in to music or art, not just some trapping crash dummies.
The people at the top in this field work a lot on music and art, and I work on music even harder than them. This means that I should be paid for my art. Period.
However, I am not paid for my art though. Why?
These high artists should be people who exemplify merit and not just talent. Hard work beats talent when talent does not work hard.
That is why I am stepping in and emerging as a new leader in arts and music. It is because I am tired of being dismissed and having my life's work not recognized as art. My music is fine art and not just regurgitated musical slop that is churned out by music industry elites.
I got a lot of work to do, because the way that the arts are going in America is just really just bad. There is no funding, and the market is flooded by artists with not style frankly.
When I stepped in to the Music Scene in 2021 with my own cadence and flow, I had everybody utterly befuddled, puzzled, and confused because they could not handle my messages and weird lyrics that I was doing. Thats when I was in and out of recovery from alcohol to which I am sober now in 2026. My music came from stories in my life, and thats what makes my music fine art.
In that order, they, as in some mysterious cabal of music gatekeepers, decided to shadow ban me by putting fine print roadblocks in the streaming services and distributors to prevent me from going anywhere with music. This was in 2021 when I dropped 246 Rush, which I consider a cult classic but my worst work I could have possibly conceived. I literally made that at the height of my previous drinking.
Initially, I was verbally disgraced by hundreds of rappers. Literally. Through slight verbal queues and subliminal jabs that would make me bug the heck out. So many rappers were dissing me on Spotify it was making me sick, so I went into reclusion mode. They all put my name down in the dirt and continued to make snide remarks in songs. Because I listen to this music all the time, I was able to hear all of this first hand. Princeton has some research about my Arts journey. (Go to there Arts department and ask. They know exactly who I am).
I went to Steve Martin's house to which you will not know about because you do not even know me and my story is still overlooked so you are early. If you are catching on to this story I applaud you because this is some wild stuff.
So here I am now though. Over the years my name got into the streets with the Steppers. My name went from Chewbie, to She be, to She'll be, to to be, and to 2B.
From Stephen, to steppin. I had to change my name to Schubbz. My actual name is Stephen Thomas Chubet. My name was first disgraced by the arts, to being respected. I deserve my respect.
Altogether, I believe this story shows that when you decide to pursue the arts fully, you are going to be metaphysically dismantled. People are going to trash you until someone finds your trash and considers it treasure. Drake knows about my story in the arts, and so does Kanye.
You are going to see the next step in this journey. Please stay tuned to when we get the power of the arts back in our hands.
PS: If I do not get paid for my Music work into next year, I may delete my music and X profile and you will never see or hear from me on X again.
Thanks for reading this.
