jacob Finney - chairman
a multifaceted music artist and entrepreneur with a deep-rooted passion for hip-hop. His journey began at the age of 15 when he started writing raps in high school, often daydreaming about making his mark in the music industry. Early in his career, he performed under the alias Pumpkinstubbz and attempted to establish himself through Romulan Goo Ent, an independent venture that never fully materialized.
After stepping away from music in 2012 to navigate personal challenges, including struggles with alcohol, he rediscovered his artistic drive in 2021. Inspired by a successful birthday event featuring performances from J-Tek The Utah Konnect, he reignited his music career and reinvested in a home recording studio.
P-Stubbz801 has also made waves as a former contracted comedian with Up Live and a notable presence on LiveMe. His outspoken nature led to controversy when he released The One & Only, a diss track produced by DJ Hoppa, which addressed issues within the live-streaming community. The interactive lyric video sparked debate and ultimately resulted in his ban from the platform.
His influences span across legends such as 2Pac, Garth cultiVader (RIP), Blimes, Reverie, Futuristic, SwizZz, Tech N9ne, and Potluck, among others. With a relentless work ethic and a commitment to authenticity, he continues to build his legacy in the hip-hop scene.
