James Gardin’s newest song Complaining has become a national hit. The track was featured on Hot97, NPR, ESPN’s “First Take,” and Spotify with critical acclaim. The attention is not a fluke – Complaining is a feel good, funk inspired single featuring groovy production from Young Heat. The Complaining music video has finally dropped, and is a perfect representation of the happy-go-lucky vibe James portrays. James sings, raps, and performs with ease throughout city streets with everyday people.

He has a serious message on Complaining – read his quote below:

“It’s so easy to complain about what is wrong and all we think is going against us, but if we sit back and recognize the power we have, we can take the steps to change our lives.” – James Gardin

The music video was taken seriously, directed, shot, and edited by a crew of individuals such as Victor Manuel, Jeff Hamlin and the DMAC Crew of Lansing Community College. Keep James’ words in mind today, and every day.
