James Kennedy / Loud Medicine, A Bold Manifesto For Music’s Underdogs In 2025

0
In Loud Medicine, James Kennedy returns with a firebrand account of life beneath the glitzy illusion of the music industry. Far from fame and fortune, Kennedy dives deep into the relentless grind, mental health crises, digital exploitation, and grassroots passion that fuel the underdog musician’s world in 2025. It’s part exposé, part rallying cry—a raw, humorous, and often sobering reminder that while the algorithms may rule the charts, the soul of music still beats in the hearts of the unseen.
