Why Not Me?

I've fallen into the endless abyss of envy and self doubt. I believe very strongly in my music, as do most musicians. And it's not as if I'm wrong and my album's are dreadful. I've gotten nothing but positive feedback. The only thing pulling me down is the financial side of creating and releasing music. I've put out nearly 50 albums these past few years to not much success. It's very depressing and discouraging to pour your heart into something numerous times to no avail. I feel I've tried almost everything and don't see things going differently anytime soon or ever. I'm writing this post as a way to vent and hopefully help others find solutions as well. I'm an MC, producer, and audio engineer. I also run my own record label. I want more than anything for this path I've chosen to be a career. I feel most things in entertainment are left up to chance and who you know. I see so many mediocre artists rise to the top, and wonder why prolific talented individuals have to work at meaningless jobs to get by. It can be baffling the way the world works. If you are as bitter as me about your situation, or if you have any ideas on what may help. Please leave a comment.
 
I can tell you right now, 50 albums in a few years is not a good thing

You are almost definitely spreading yourself too thin
