Absolutely loved your reaction to this. You want layers? Well, you found the right artist. Ren is different. I believe he's a once in a lifetime kind of artist. On top of that, he's just a good person. I'm here for this journey of you diving into his catalogue. You've earned my sub. I suggest following this one up with Sick Boi as it directly relates to this song..
I haven't even finished watching your reaction yet but I just wanted to edit my comment to stay that you definitely hit the nail on the head about his medical condition. He has Lyme's disease but went misdiagnosed for about 10 years and was prescribed medications that in the end did more damage than good. He's the currently getting special treatments in that seemed to be helping him somewhat but they are not a cure. This song in particular went viral and over the last year I've watched as his fan base has grown and have watched him show the world what is like to be humble and kind regardless of his newfound fame. I can't remember who the original person is but ran quoted this person and said that a rising tide lifts All ships. That is what he has done for no reason other than to help complete strangers. The community that he has grown is like none I've ever seen before. Welcome.
Awesome, thank you! May check that one out next, thanks!
Edit: Oh wow! No way!!! Thanks for sharing this information, this makes a lot of sense. Sounds like such an unfortunate story, but im glad to hear that his spirits have remained lifted despite the adversity he faces. This is a channel all about positive vibes, as you'll hopefully come to know, so I am excited to go on this journey of getting to know him as an artist and as a person. Sounds right up my alley. Thank you for taking the time to share with me, it is much appreciated!
This was a wonderful comment filled with great info.
All True of course.
Have a stellar day.
I agree, a great comment.
Right?? Oh, and this is a live one take. Yup. He's def a once in a lifetime artist, if not once period. It's like putting music to Shakespeare. ❤❤❤
This was an amazing comment and every word is true. Thank you for taking the time to write this.
This dudes whole catalog is sick. Watch out for him. Hes gonna be a giant.
No joke.
He is getting there! I am so pumped the internet is exploding becasue of this guy! Ren is my favorite artist I’ve ever known of. Hands down.
That "out of tune" feel you felt is called dissonance. Can't wait to see you do more Ren. He's a gift to humanity.
Awesome, I had to look that up! Thanks for educating me. Much love!
@@pauzeandrewind The way he created dissonance was by using the chromatic scale just in case you were interested.
@@JasonBrossa hah that was my comment. "chromatic dissonance" is the term that closes the comment circle =)
He also really digs his fingers into the strings so they can get a little atonal and have an aggressive edgy character
Welcome!
I like to think that Ren's last gift is the community. This song is special, and it rings out from a place of chronic illness. The chronic illness community is often called invisible, because of fear and stigma. Illness is not something people want to discuss. But it's necessary. People need to understand the difficulty we go through. Ren has not only provided a voice. He's inspired others to be voices. The necessary conversations are happening. We can support each other, and won't be so alone.
The rising tide IS raising all ships. And it's beautiful to watch.
Very beautifully stated! Ren has provided a voice to those of us with invisible illnesses and it is wonderful to see ❤
Wow. Love the words and strength of feeling.
We're all in this together. Blessed Be
💜 ✌️
He has inspired me and living with MS the last 20 years. I really couldn’t believe that voice in my head telling me I didn’t compare to others, was wrong. Until Ren and the RENegades. You guys have changed my world
Want fun? Try Losing It. Want creative and dark? Tales of Jenny, Screech, and Violet (in order, all 3 at once) wanna cry? Go back to his beginnings and do Patience. He's got EVERYTHING!!
I'd argue that the Tale's Trilogy requires two listens the first time around
The Tales of Jenny and Screech will absolutely blow ur mind mate.
Welcome down the rabbit hole.
Ps, ur subs will fly up if u do more Ren.
Thank you!
Welcome to the RENaissance! This video is a live one take shot with multiple cameras. There are videos of him performing it in front of a live audience.
Ren has not had it easy and continues to fight to this day. Despite his challenges he is an incredible artist and from everything I have seen is a genuinely good guy.
This is an incredible rabbit hole to go down and I hope you check out more of his stuff!
Edited to add, I definitely recommend checking out Sick Boi next. And if you do the Tale of Jenny & Screech make sure you do the full version so all of it is in order and pay close attention to the storyline!
So glad to see some else using the term RENaissance. Considering the connotations of the word, it perfectly sums up what's happening with his music!!
Viva la RENaissance
Yea live. Not a one take. The video is a composite of several takes plus some additional footage. Doesn’t change the fact that it’s awesome.
It was a one take live but took 4 attempts to get it = not a composite.
@@nm44Sergie not true. It is impossible to shoot a wide, hand held close shot and half a second later have a full body shot without being two takes. Absolutely impossible. After 40+ years of shooting I can guarantee that. Also they insert some cut scenes where Ren is not wearing a mic so the mic appears and disappears multiple times in the same 30 second piece of footage and then there’s the gown length variations which are also other shoots. Happy to send you the photo proof if you still need to believe this is a composite of the three cameras and one take.
@@nm44Sergie The audio is one take, live and lightly balanced in post from miked guitar, lapel mike, camera mike and perhaps the corner mikes seen in Chalk-Outlines. (with the talk at the end, iirc from a different take) The video is spliced from multiple cameras covering the live performance, but it does seem as if there are a few brief segments spliced in from a different one-take and synced to the continuous audio track... his hem line does a few things that don't seem congruent with a single performance.
Insightful reaction brother, welcome to a new artist who has changed me for the better and helped understand myself. He really is the truth with his message throughout all his music. I think he gets the human condition at a deeper level than most everyone.
That's amazing, thank you!
Brilliant reaction, one of the best I have ever seen. Love it man, keep up the good work! Ren is such a genius.
Thank you so much!
Ren has more facets than a diamond. Enjoy the ride!
Very engaging and Perceptive first time reaction.....you're gonna enjoy Rens Art..regardless of how far back into his past catalogue you dare to delve!
You are thoughtful, and well spoken.❤ The Renegades will follow your journey, sharing love and light🎉❤
Thank you so much!
I just found you and subbed right away.
This was wonderful.
I truly enjoyed hearing your thoughts on this masterpiece.
I highly encourage you to continue your Ren journey.
The man AND his music are actually beyond words.
I love to hear it! Thank you so much for taking the time. Looks like I have a new journey to embark on!
What a great reaction. Music is what kept him alive through all those years of misdiagnosed Lyme disease. He is now still dealing with being allrgic to 95% of food.
Being treated all this year, 5 days a week trying to improve the damage done to brain,body, and autoimmunity. He has a deep catalogue of music. Started out making his iwn beats at 12. He is 33 now. Also belongs to The Big Push, his band.
Wow!!!!
@@pauzeandrewind also his new Hip Hop album Sick Boi, is releasing next Friday the 13th and his most challenging 1 shot video Money Game 3 on the 12th
He is truly exhausted this week and recovering from his 4th round of Covid. The man deserves all the love we can give him. Thank you for supporting him.
@@francesdoll4039 MG3 is *at least* 3 shots planned to be seamless. (to the reveal, to the chair, and a 'one chance' final scene) It is also possible that the 'roll' also covers a switch-in of Ren to the piano though I am less sure about that.
Ren brought me here, subD cuz I loved your in depth reaction...❤Peace...
Thank you! And welcome!
Nice
Hi Dawn 🤗@@dawnpatterson8708
Welcome aboard! You do Ren and we’ll be here.
Terrific reaction - you get it! Do join us down the Ren rabbit hole, its a wondrous journey. I"d suggest The Tale of Jenny and Screech (full version) - it's Bardcore - you will love it! Subbed in anticipation :)
Thank you so much! I appreciate the recommendation as well. Eager to learn more about this artist.
Should definitely give his song "Genesis" a try he does a live acoustic version of it as well its one of my favourite ever songs not just by him.
GENESIS....def next
then the FULL trilogy (that's the tale of jenny & screech FULL)
then .....
Chalk Outlines
The Hunger
Su!cide (& this is the only 1 i suggest some backstory needed beforehand)
Enjoyed your reaction. You pretty much nailed everything spot on. This track is Ren telling his story but saying it's okay, because everything he's been through, and is still going through, has made him the person and artist that he is.
Welcome to the rabbit hole of Rens artistry. His music runs the gammut from this type of bardcore story telling brilliance, to old school rap beats (see, What You Want), new rap flows (see Masochist), to reggae inspired beats (see his acoustic version of Murderer). He also was in a really fun band called The Big Push which played incredible covers (see their live I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop; or their Bongo Bong cover). Just wonderful fun music. There are so many more incredible songs from him as well as the Big Push. A truly once in a lifetime artist. subbed.
Excellent reaction. You nailed the layers of this artist!! Have fun! You’ve found the artist you’ve been looking for.
What a fantastic analysis of this performance and performer. Ren is an amazing artist. I’ve followed his ascension for the last several months after seeing this video. The talent was apparent from the start. Till this day, I have not heard a song of his I did not thoroughly enjoy. Everything he’s put out has substance, is creative, and just sounds pleasing to the ear. His collaborations are all next level good. And the band he was in, The Big Push, they’re also super talented in their own right. It’s been a fun journey thus far. The RENegades are a fine group, you will get plenty of support if your content is half as good as this. Cheers!
Here is some additional information on Ren's story that I gathered from old newspaper interviews, articles, and Ren's public livestreams and posts. A handful of people frequently post an earlier version of my comment to various reactions that they copied and pasted verbatim, so if this is a repeat just ignore this comment. I keep editing the information, as needed, and have removed details about Ren that some found to be too personal, such as his full name and D.O.B. All the information here was gathered exclusively from sources Ren personally approved for public release.
Ren is a Welsh musician/independent artist/producer, self-taught multi-instrumentalist. He pursued a career in music from an early age. In 2009, while studying music performance at Bath Spa University, Ren began to experience health issues and was struggling to attend his lectures, which eventually caused him to discontinue his studies and return home. In addition, Ren was signed by Sony Records in 2010 and was working on an album when his health deteriorated to the point that he was unable to go on; consequently, his contract with Sony was dissolved. Ren would later relocate to Brighton.
Ren's illness often kept him in bed for up to 23 hours daily. Ren was initially misdiagnosed with depression, bipolar disorder, and chronic fatigue syndrome, which led him to experience psychosis and develop PTSD. It would take seven years before a doctor in Belgium finally correctly diagnosed Ren with autoimmunity, Lyme disease, and resulting damage to the brain, organs, joints, and PTSD. Ren eventually underwent stem cell therapy in the United States, which improved his health, but it has not been a cure.
Ren is in Calgary, Canada for at least six months (Summer of 2023), undergoing treatments such as IV therapy and other interventions five days a week, as well as surgeries (wisdom tooth removal and cavitation surgery). His Canadian doctor discovered that Ren also developed a condition called Mast Cell Activation Disorder (MCAD), which has affected the myelin sheath in his brain, his thyroid, and adrenals as well as his bones/joints. Hence, Ren is receiving additional treatments for this previously undiagnosed condition. He recently took a break from treatments and returned to the UK to visit family and friends, and to produce some very ambitious musical projects to be released soon.
Let's keep supporting Ren as he undergoes his treatments. Check out and subscribe to his channel; if you are a content creator, ask your audience to subscribe to Ren. Ren's YT channel just surpassed 1 million subscribers. and his videos have garnered millions and millions of views. Listen to some of his earlier work, like and comment on his performances, and let's lift Ren's spirits. If you are a believer, pray for him. Ren is an artist with something to say to the world, and his work is important in these troubling times. Someone has finally created a Wikipedia page for Ren, so there is additional information available.
Thanks for all the info. Sounds like a really tough journey. It's great to see the support he has from those impacted by his craft. Thanks for the comment!
Hi my friend
Great biography....
I feel you should also add losing Joe in there too since that loss and Rens guilt (he has nothing to feel guilty about, but i get it, i been there too) has played a huge role in his music.
@@tianthee Thank you for your kind comment and suggestion. Unfortunately, I can no longer post any comments to Ren reactions, because the YT algorithm immediately flags and removes them or outright blocks me from posting.
Great reaction! I hope you dig further into this man's art. You will not be disappointed! 💗🦇💗
The Big Push is a band Ren was with. I just listened to Precious and it was really really awesome. If you're missing somebody for whatever reason, have a tissue handy
You sir have yourself a new sub! If artists with depth and “layers” like Ren is the standard for this channel… I’m here for it!
Your reaction at "loosen the noose on the rope" told me who you are and made me subscribe. Thank you.
That's real, thank you!
Layers? Oh, did you find the right artist. New sub here. Can't wait for you to see/hear more. Ren never disappoints.
😂💯
Absolutely had to sub, and you were only about a minute into this. I'm 60 years old and have been drawn into not only the world of Ren but so many other artists and genres that I never would have imagined or found thanks to people like you and other reactors. Your sight into the story and breakdown were spectacular. On the filming of this, yes, it was actually a live, one-take using several cameras. It was then pieced together for the final video. If you continue on the journey into his music, you'll find that very often they are live, one takes.
Thanks for subbing and even taking the time to watch. I appreciate it greatly. Can't wait to discover more!
Man you're going to love Ren, such a journey. The layers are beautiful, We're all playing an ARG treasure hunt which is a tiny bit of insight into his depths 😊
Ren is music, there is nothing he can't do..he is like nobody else. Great reaction, new sub.. RENegade love❤
Ren is a great independent artist. If you want to see him do Bob Marley “I shot the sheriff, road to Zion and Hip Hop. He plays in his old band “The big Push”
After they finish this they then play Black Sabbath “ War Pigs 🐷 on a separate TH-cam clip. Like the bass guitarist says it’s a kick in the face after I shot the sheriff.
Thanks again for the work you do producing great content, wishing you every success from your viewers in Australia 🇦🇺
I also love how you're giving this reaction with a death note nod in the background. Literally battling the demons, while telling your story of battling demons. Love it my brother. ❤
I love Ryuk on your wall!! Enjoy the REN rabbit hole. Every song is great in my opinion.
Ren is a musical genius and a lyrical genius and a master storyteller, a Shakespearian Bard of our time! He also produces his own beats, plays classical guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, piano, some drums etc, raps, sings acts, edits etc
His use of dissonant notes to audibly represent the sickness is perfect.
They did four continuous takes live and use the fourth one. King of the one takes😊
I always love the look of surprise when he starts oooh oooh
Such and intelligent reaction -- and spot on in so many ways. Welcome to the RENaissance !! Appreciate your vulnerability as well. Love and Hugs to you. I see Sick Boi mentioned below, and yes, that's a great next step in the Ren rollercoaster. Since you obviously love story telling, you'll be blown away with Ren's "Tale of Jenny & Screech (FULL)". New sub here to come along for the ride!
Thank you!!
Quality reaction mate, definitely worth a sub for a great breakdown and for knowing who Plan B was!!!
Amazing reaction. So excited to watch you react to more Ren. You really “got” his message and communicated it beautifully!
Thank you so much!!
Let's GO
You want amazing storytelling...watch the tale of jenny and screech (full version)...its insanely amazing and the story is top notch
Terrific reaction and analysis. Thank you!
I found #Ren the day he dropped this video and it's been a Renaissance since ❤
Renegade here for your journey down the Ren rabbit hole 🐇🕳️❤
You’re absolutely right about the branches and the layers and the learning. Also the inspiration. ❤
Bro, Genisis, losing it, the hunger, animal flow, power, illest of our time, money game... so many amazing songs.
If you want your mind blown you need to checkout the tale of Jenny and screech you have to watch all 3 videos together to get the full experience 😊 a very insightful reaction ❤
Thank you, will do!!
Wow Bro! First time listening to you. You have great communication skills and you were very enjoyable to listen to as you reacted to Hi-Ren. You really covered it nicely from all sides. Will definitely tune in again. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
Thank you for your reaction. I appreciate your thoughtful understanding and analysis of Renn and his journey. He is struggling with Lyme disease and his misdiagnosis and treatsment which caused very bad results. He is still in treatment in Canada. but is working hard to improve his recovery. He really is an amazing human being and an artist .
I have developed a love for this kid!!!! (Yea I am at the age where he is a kid to me lol😂). I can’t decide if it’s his music (absolutely a musical genius) or his humanity that I love the most! I can’t stop digging through his catalog and I have found not one single thing that I don’t love!!!
Ok, I've been going backwards chronologically through your Ren reactions, and it looks like this was the genesis - this one was my first introduction to Ren, as well, about a year ago. I hope you'll continue to explore his catalogue. I truly believe that Ren is a musical prodigy, a talent that the world gets to see once in a generation. I once heard Ren say in an interview that he "sees the shapes that music makes" in his mind, and then he figures out how to make instruments create that same shape. Ren is entirely self-taught on multiple instruments, he has an amazing voice, he's a poet and a visionary. And he also seems to be just a really cool, genuinely good human, which may be the most remarkable thing of all, given everything that he's been through. Looking forward to more Ren reactions, and I'm also going to check out your other reactions. I'm pleased to have been introduced to you!
Thanks so much! I appreciate you, and welcome!
Watching your Ren playlist in reverse 😅❤❤❤
I balled my eyes out when he stood the first time I saw this. I shared it with everyone I love. Over a year later I have became a fan of reaction videos, of Ren mostly and AURORA and Jinjer.😊😊 😊
😊😊
Brah, you need to go down this rabbit hole. This guy is insane. Sings raps, storytelling he does it all. If you see tale of Jenny and Screech do all 3 parts cuz they go together. Some reactors f that up then it goes over their heads
Instant sub! Prepare yourself for the subs from the RENegades. We love watching people find him for the first time and go down this rabbit hole of music that he has. He is a genre bender. He is from Wales, but moved to Brighton after his best friend, unalived himself by jumping off of a bridge. Ren was bitten by a tick and for the next 10 years he was missed diagnosed as having a mental disorder when he actually had Lyme’s disease. They prescribed him so many of the wrong medication’s that he developed psychosis. He is currently in Canada trying to reverse some of that damage medically. So now he makes his music to bring awareness to mental illness, violence and world corruption. Don’t get me wrong. He definitely does songs just for fun without any deep meaning. He is a genre bender. He’s also excellent doing live street performances with his band called The Big Push. Be careful you might become a Renegade with the rest of us. If you want more of his storytelling, then definitely do the Tale of Jenny and Screech (full version). People call it bardcore. Some of his deeper songs are Chalk Outlines, Crutch, How to be Me, and For Joe. If you want to see him rap, then I would suggest The Hunger, Genesis, Power, Losing it, Fisher Retake and Murderer.
He was bitten by a tick??? My goodness. Thanks for the info, and the comment. I'll definitely be checking out more. Looking forward to it!
Word is that he does this in a single take !!
Awesome insightful reaction to Ren's breakout song/story. One of the best reactions I've seen in the last year💗💓💗💓
Loved your reaction to this masterpiece! It was filmed in mostly one take with 3 cameras. The only part that was separately filmed was the handheld bit at the end, which was only because the other cameras would have been visible. Ren is an amazing artist and a wonderful person. His fan community is one of the most supportive and positive of any musician ever. His music is well worth looking into! Looking forward to following you down the rabbit hole ❤
You are SO perceptive... and engaged... and engaging. You opened my eyes and ears and mind and heart to a lot of things with this reaction. And I'm grateful.
Wow, thank you so much!
I love your ‘five layers of talent’ comment!
This was preformed live in one take with 3 cameras. (They did 4 takes and chose the 3rd take). New sub!
The entire creative process of this song and it's delivery both in audio and video format is phenomenal. The hopeful side of Ren plays a lighter, more in tune riff on the guitar, whereas as soon as he switches over it's more jaded and distorted, aggressive and chaotic. Every time it's hopeful Ren speaking the light is on his face, and whenever his dark inner thoughts speak he's in the shadows.
I thought all music was the same nowadays, until ren.. breathe of fresh air. My favourite artist today and his album is very cheap get it ❤
I was just watching other reactions to this video TODAY and kept thinking I needed to ask you to watch it when I got home and BOOM my wish was granted! He has immense talent and range, I recommend his duets with Chinchilla (Chalk Outlines esp.) and What You Want has a killer old school vibe.
Not only is he a great musician, he is an amazing actor. You should do The Tales next!
Disco Doc recommended we check you out….so glad he did. Now I’m catching up on the journey you’ve had so far.
Loved your insightful comments and looking forward to watching where the journey down the rabbit hole takes you. The Sick Boi album has so many nuggets of gold jn it. Here for it all 🔥
I'm loving your reaction to Hi Ren. Totally separate from that, I've watched this music video too many times to count and only just now realized the flicker of the light after "survive" before dark Ren fully takes over. So many layers to Ren that I'm still finding things.
Got a new sub from me for sure. This was excellent, thoroughly enjoyed your breakdown after the song. Looking forward to more.
Many thanks for the reaction very nice sir! Ren is an incredible artist he has made himself so vulnerable by exposing his deepest darkest fears and hopes🌿💔
I have been watching reaction videos to Hi Ren for months and no one got it so right on as you did. Hats off to you 👏
Thank you so much! Glad someone recommended this one for me!
So glad you discovered Ren. You want layers, you got it with Ren. You got my sub for more Ren Reactions
Thanks man!
Nice reaction, I like your thought process and empathy. Subbed for your journey, welcome to the Renverse and the whole community!
I subscribed 10 minutes in to your wonderful reaction. I sense a new RENegade has been born. Welcome to our community of loyal and passionate Ren fans and reactors. Your thoughts on music are about to change and you’re going to love it.
Thank you so much!!
One of the BEST Hi Ren reactions I've seen (and I've seen A LOT.) Keep up the great work! You'll find Ren is a gift that keeps on giving.
There are a couple of great videos to give you insight on REN and his illness. This kid has been THROUGH it!
Great reaction. I appreciate that you understood the difficulties of the theatrical performance.
Ren is one of those that has ENDLESS talent... his busking band The Big Push is incredible, he makes his own beats, he raps, sings, plays multiple instruments, & every song is a different genre or vibe. It's crazy!! I haven't found a single song yet that wasn't a hit. He doesn't miss!! 🥰❤️🔥💞👽
Some layers you forgot, (maybe you address it later its mid video) but the visuals, the lighting, production, and the after the recording of a 1 take the editing to make it flow from the different camera angles, like a movie director or producer. Just amazing.
Welcome to the Renegade! Reactors always say "why didn't you warn me?!" Here's your official warning, never expect what you think you might hear. His layers are DEEP. If you really want to see his true heart layers, I always recommend his 1 million subscriber speech. His music will resonate with anyone, he hits all genres. On top of that, he WANTS to talk about the hard topics that hinder the human race, so we can become better humans. My son suffers from depression and un-aliving ideation; Ren has been his strength since we found him about 8 months ago. Ren brings hope, knowledge, strength and courage. My favorites include Power, Illest of Our Time, What You Want & anything else you can find!!! Looking forward to this rabbit hole you've entered, and if you don't like Ren, you'll love his community. I encourage you to keep following this legacy! I'll be looking forward to more.
Others have said much of what I might have about Ren, but my sincere appreciation for your reaction, nailed it really imo very perceptive. Subbed!
Beautifully said. Much love ❤️ Sue
Great reaction my man. Sub'ed and rang the bell. If you like his storey telling check our the full version of the Tale of Jenny a Screech. (FULL version with 3 parts). Then check out everything else you wont be disapointed.
Thank you so much!
another great reaction! so glad you've been introduced to ren. he's an amazing artist. this song is relatable even if you're not an artist. if you're someone trying to achieve something in life, you're going to have moments of self doubt. anyways hopefully we get more ren on your channel
Love your reaction. More Ren please. Sick Boi is a good follow up to Hi Ren (imo)
Be well 🕊
I believe the balance is between the 2 extremes of the Pendulum swing 🥰 We are human beings 💚
Love you’re reflections, relating to yourself as well
I got to know you through Ren but it appears I hadn´t seen your reaction yet to ´Hi Ren´, which led most of us to Ren. And it was clear, You Understood. Great reaction. Of course I subscribed. Greetings from Belgium.
And because you mentioned music helped you out of the dark, this is what I posted as a reaction to Ren´s original video:
I´m a 58 year old man from Belgium with a lovely wife and great sons, but unfortunately I went through the deepest dark for two-three years due to a number of reasons. But since April last year I feel good again (what a feeling! - since I didn´t expect it anymore) thanks to therapy, that I didn´t want/avoided for way too long. But the real lifesavers/lifechangers in that period were... artists/video´s on You Tube. If Michael Stipe (R.E.M.) didn´t sing 'Hold on/Hang on' in Everybody Hurts, I doubt that I would still be here. If Nightbirde didn´t sing ´It´s okay´ on AGT and didn´t say ´You can´t wait until life isn´t hard anymore before you decide to be happy', maybe I´d still be depressed. Just to say: I saw THIS video (and the reactions on YT to it) two days ago and I know FOR SURE this changes the life/thoughts of many people, this saves lives. Ren = hope. Because he´s real. Because he´s been there. Because he´s a (beautiful) human being...
Thank you for the amazing reaction! Subbing now. Hoping you fell down the Ren rabbithole too. Excited to find out!
Definitely! Check the Ren playlist!
For more LAYERS check out the Tales of Jenny and Screech (Full) by Ren
Ren just announced that this song has hit 20 million views. In less than a year. This has hit a chord with SO many people. Excellent reaction. Thanks.
Ren is a beast, and this was a one take video like most of his videos are... check more of Ren out he's different...
New sub . Great reaction and interpretation .Was one take no cuts .live straight through.4th try they used
Definitely has a extremely versatile catalog.Some people don't like his rap voice but there is not a style or flow or cadence this man can't do very well.old school hip hop -he has 5-6 songs in that style.Those are fire The hunger,what you want ,power, Genesis,sic boi, illest of our time
Don't know why but I teared up when you talked about his layers! Can't wait to watch your Ren journey!! 😊
😊😊
He is incredible!!!! Next level artist
You have just discovered the absolute King of Layers! If you watch the 200 videos ( Inc The Big Push ) you will see a real master at work. Ren is the best thing I have ever discovered in music in 5 decades. Subbed so look forward to the next one. A Brilliant Reaction as well.
I loved your reaction. This song, tho not COMMERCIALLY VIABLE, resonates with every generation bcuz we’ve ALL felt this way. Thanx for a new sub for me
ABOUT TO GO TO 20 MILLION VIEWS IN 10 MONTHS. JUST MIGHT BE COMMERCIALLY VIABLE!😂❤
I've watch many reactions to Ren's songs. You really understand this artist. Loved this vid. Subscribed!!
If you like theater you’re gonna love The Tales Of Jenny And Screech (full)
Love your reactions to REN. I’m sure others have recommended Losin It REN Retake and his live busking of I shot the sheriff with his band the big push.
"Genesis" the videography and the flow 🔥
