Can't wait for you to listen to everything Ren but ESPECIALLY Hunger, Losing It, Animal Flow, Tale of Jenny Screech full version.... then everything else!
i havent stopped listening to him..not just daily ... but constantly....all his songs have been added to my playiist and I keep watching reactions...still, even weeks after seeing the 1st reaction, they are like crack. I enjpy watching the awe on peoples faces. He has a wide variety of songs, not just one style. If youve only done 2...thats barely anything....his talent is extreme. And his character is A+. He watches the Reactioners and comments subscribes to you all, if not yet, I am sure soon. He has some more rap, all different styles and flows
So glad it's not just me 😂 I caught the Hi Ren snippet on TikTok probably 2 months ago & jumped in that rabbit hole faster than Alice could blink ... I'm never coming out. Bought new headphones as I'm driving everyone mad with reaction after reaction .. I definitely have not found the right angle on my phone mount to have videos playing in my work van so it can't really be seen by the blue light brigade 😂

Hey little bro's, here's 4 different types of rap styles by Ren. I put a small description of what you can expect. Just so you know Ren gets crazy versatile because he's a Rapper, Singer/Songwriter, Multi-instrumentalist Guitar/Bass/Piano/Drums/Beatboxer, Producer/Poet/Actor. You've got so many sides to Ren it's 🤯🤯 1) "The Hunger" Ren shows off his Rapping Skills in Beast Mode. th-cam.com/video/1T_fLytBFM4/w-d-xo.html 🔥 2) "Losing It" Ren's remake of a 90's EDM club mix by DJ Fisher th-cam.com/video/mLvAGjhDssc/w-d-xo.html 🔥 3) "The Money Game part 2" commentary on corporate greed and gov corruption th-cam.com/video/YonS9_QJbp8/w-d-xo.html 🔥 4) "What You Want" Ren's tribute to late 80's early 90's rap that has a Beastie Boys vibe. th-cam.com/video/jrjp4Du0rEc/w-d-xo.html 🔥 Later You can listen to Ren with his band The Big Push. They've got Original music as well as covers.✌
at the moment all i listen to is ren and i watch many people react to him, he is the only game on this planet worth playing , he is a genuine genius and a master at what he does , whatever genre he puts his toes in to .

Bangor is in Wales where he was born, but Ren now lives in Brighton, which is in the south of England on the coast. Very chill, diverse and artsy town, kinda the UK's San Francisco. Most of the videos he's made are filmed there. This one was filmed in an abandoned underground warehouse that's become a homeless squat. The people who hang there have a regular fight club , where they get high and just lay into each other without holding back. Ren and Sam (the film director) wanted to include one of those fights in the film, it's not him under the mask 😅
And just you wait, Animal Flow dropped 3 days ago and it's absolutey MAD EDIT - Hah, wait until you two learn he does all his own beats and production (with the exception of the obvious when he's rapping over the top of someone else's tune) EDIT2: Ok, if you two REALLY want to see Ren show off and blow your mind, pop over and watch The Hunger ... you have been warned EDIT3: Hah, love the enthusiasm, but lads I go back before the Bulldogs made their debut....

Power, Genesis and life is funny are a couple of my favorite. Humble is a good one too. There are many more I could list that I could listen to daily. He has a lengthy catalog. I am still finding new ones and I learned of him the beginning of this year.
At work i have said " Alexa Play music by ren" many times. he has a huge catalog of just now being discovered music.. and they almost all are just different from everything else.. and i have yet to hear one that wasn't f'ing amazing
And then when you find out that “illest of our time” is a reference to him being at death’s door with a mystery illness that he still battles to this day, and not to him being the best rapper of our time. Built different.
If you want your mind blown (for versatility), go listen to Ren with the Big Push do I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop, then watch Chalk Outlines ft Chinchilla, for bars listen to The Hunger, Genesis, Losing it (Fisher rap retake) and then for fun, watch his Right Here Right Now, Fatboy Slim retake. To completely melt your brain watch the full trilogy of the Tale of Jenny & Screech. Most of his videos are done in one take, and a vast amount of them are also with him live. Welcome to the Ren Rabbithole. I think these tracks should get you started on your journey. Enjoy your reactions!
Ah lads I think you two are great. Please check out the Hunger... by Ren... and Power..by Ren and Genesis by Ren. Listening daily depends on the song you are choosing. There are LOTS to choose from ... Also Blind Eyed with Sam Tompkins - make sure its the live one with the Angry Car Park attendant.
If there's an artist that you can listen to on a daily basis, then it's Ren. He's so incredibly versatile that you can find music for every mood that you're in - and he is so freakin' good in any genre he touches. And as an independent artist, he also produces his music and the beats (whenever he's using other peoples' beats to rap over them he'll name it a retake), and he directs his own videos that are so creative that you forget that they are actually very low-budget. You will find a lot of stuff to listen and react to, whether rapping, singing, Raggae, storytelling, EMD, busking with his band "The Big Push", and so much more. His collaborations with Chinchilla, Sam Tompkins, Eden Nash, Bibi, and Venbee are not only amazing, they also introduce you to other great artists that you might never have heard of otherwise. However, I loved your reaction and looking forward to seeing more Ren reactions!
The pig at the beginning is in a lot of his videos. He's referencing George Orwell's cult classic book, Animal Farm . In thr book, animals take over the farm from the abusive farmer. The pigs then take charge & abuse their power too. They write their manifesto on the wall, the most memorable line being "Some animals are more equal than others". The books writing on the wall theme is also in the Animal Flow video too.
No mainstream artists is like Ren. He does this all alone, and being an independent artist, he is to talented. You guys haven even heard him sing, sing yet
If you really want to see REN’s creativity and storytelling abilities, definitely watch The Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full) … make sure you watch the latest version as it’s a trilogy of songs and they are all joined in the (Full) version 😁👍
Hey guys, first time here. To your question about how often people listen to Ren, I listen daily after just hearing him in January for the first time with "He Ren". The dude's got a deep catalog with amazing variety which suits pretty much every mood. Especially when you factor in his work with his band The Big Push and his earlier band Trick The Fox. Liked and subscribed.
Ren is daily for me and i am more a metalhead than rap, i like rap but my wheelhouse is metal, and he has changed how i listen to music how i conceptualize it he completely changed how i view what i consider what a good song should sound like, the intricate way he pens his lyrics is on another level.
The thing about Ren's music is I feel like he has a song for every mood I'm in. He's become daily for me he's got so many different styles that it fits my eclectic style and ADHD so well. From his rap, to singing, to bardcore, to reggae; his music just knows how to speak to me on a different level then other artist. Also his collaborations has introduced some awesome other artist as well.
I listen to Ren daily. He's the only artist in that category for me. I have massive Spotify playlists spanning many decades, but Ren has his own playlist, and it's the one I listen to the most by far. He's my favorite artist.
You two made me laugh. Ren is a man of many talents .He plays many instruments, and can sing, rap, beat box etc. Ren rhymes about real issues. You guys might want to listen to :his song "Dear God", " How to be be x Chinchilla" .Great channe;!
I am 62 years young and discovered Ren 2 months ago and have listened to his music every day since !!! Your reaction was brilliant especially the reference to the Hardy brothers 😂 Enjoy the discovery of his music !!!
For more Ren rapping..pls react to : Hunger... Sick Boi... Losing it... Genesis... Money game part 1&2... Power... N the latest Animal Flow.. For his crazy vocals..check out I Shot the Sheriff/ road to zion/ hip hop with his band The Big Push...or Chalk Outlines w Chinchilla..another artist u might wana check out Enjoy the Ren rabbit hole
Loved this video! Ren is a daily listen for sure. It's not a mood thing.... He is such a diverse artist, if you want to be in your feels.. He got you. Wanna laugh? He got you. Want to vibe? He got you. Want to take a trip to heavy metal/hard rock history? Him in 'the Big Push' .. They got got you. Want to hear rap? He got you.... His catalog is soooo diverse, if you like music... Welcome to Ren's world gentlemen! Lol. Awesome reaction, really enjoyed the conversation. Glad you found Ren.. Do more! Edit: oh, you got my sub. Anything you do by Ren, I'm here, not a bad song anywhere in his catalog. Oh! Check out Chinchilla when you get a chance please! She's absolutely amazing and had some collaborations with Ren. Thank you!
Yeah, The Hunger and Losing It are gonna blow your minds. Also, in case you don't know, aside from the camera work, this is all Ren. He writes it, performs it, mixes it, creates the beats, etc. Dude can do everything!
Daily for me. So versatlie. He's got something for every mood. I've been listening to pretty much the same stuff for over a decade (the same metal, progressive metal and The Beatles) and seeing Hi Ren in January changed my world. I listen to songs to learn on drums for different bands I'm in but aside from that, all Ren and reactions to everything he's done for four months; which is unheard of for me. So much for you to get to that will just blow your mind. Happy travels through the Reniverse.
Ren is the most versatile Rap Rapper, Singer Sanger , producer, Actor, video producer, musician, Storyteller and Humble human being. His music is so versatile there’s no one like him that’s No B.S. I’m a music maker artist creative person as well so no messing when I say He is a Genius! Great reaction keep it coming you won’t be disappointed Try the Hunger, beast mode then losing it fisher rap retake then you will definitely lose 😂😂😂
OK guys, I'll see your Hardy brothers - had to look them up - & raise you a Demigorgon of Oppin. Or how about this - "Ready? I'm heavy, I'm Mercury, I am Freddy." - Freddy Kruger - malevolent - Freddie Mercury - frontman of the band Queen (Bohemian Rhapsody, We Are The Champions, We Will Rock You) - mercury is a heavy metal Keep listening to Ren cuz there's just more & more of this great stuff. Oh, & remember "a kiddie called Screech on the streets" You'll hear from him again.
I listen to him daily because he has so many different styles, you haven't scratched the surface yet. Everyone is bopping to Humble right now, his song with Eden Nash. It's a poppy bop, but I'm really into The Hunger, which is another rap rap, although Losing It is a lot of fun. Then there's his reggae live busking stuff with The Big Push. You just don't know yet but you should.
Love you two! You are hilarious! Just found your channel and of course I've subscribed. 😊. I agree with all the other people's suggestions for Ren, but no-one appears to have mentioned, "Crucify your culture", by Ren. It's also great. Enjoy your Ren experiences. It's a very deep hope to fall down but loads of great songs on the way down.👍. Much respect from the UK.
He is British- Welsh I listen daily 16:59 actually. He decided to be a musician at age 12. Was in his mid teens -busking and in music school when signed by Sony. They dropped him after he became ill. It took 8 years to get a proper diagnosis of Lyme disease. In the mean time his body / mind were ravage by misdiagnosis and the wrong treatments. He has had a stem cell transplant a few years ago and is now in Canada getting treatment for an autoimmune disorder that involve demylenating of the nerves.
Ren's doesn't miss. Solo work: Genesis, Humble, Penitence, Meaning, Insomnia, Ready For You, Chalk Outlines, How To Be Me, Life Is Funny, Sick Boi, ***The Tale Of Jenny And Screech (Full) *** Power, Love Music (parts 1-3), Hold On, Blind Eyed - MC Sessions, Do You Believe, Crucify Your Culture, ...
To understand Ren"s astounding versatility listen to Ren's band The Big Push. I Shot The Sherrif/Road To Zion/Hip Hop (Reggae). Walk In The Water/Trouble So Hard (Soul/Gospel - Nina Simone cover) Ren plays amazing bass. Sweet Little Lady (Heavy Metal Riffs with Jazz breaks) GAK Sessions - It's Alright. War Pigs (Black Sabbath Cover) Precious - A brilliantly written song for anyone who misses somebody. Praise You (Fatboy Slim cover)
Knowing what was coming with the Hardy brothers line, I was rolling when you were talking about wrestling at the beginning, and you did not disappoint when the line dropped! Great energy, great reaction. Have fun falling down the Ren rabbit hole. Tons of great rap, but also lots of incredible lyricism.
Hi Gents! Great reaction! I am a white metal guitarist in his 50's. Ren is a genius on a musical level 100%! I listen to his content 2-3 times per week these days. Cheers!
For me, when it comes to Ren, it took me a minute because after Hi Ren, I appreciated the originality, theatrical quality, and message, but I thought that he wasn't someone I would listen to regularly. Now, after finding almost all of his stuff, I have like 4 different Ren Playlists, and that's the only thing I've listened to for a few months now, which NEVER happens to me. There is no box that he fits in and no genre that really defines him. You've got to find his other stuff, I have not heard a single song I don't like. To recognize his diversity fully, I recommend first: Ren/The Big Push: (reggae style) Live Busking mash-up "Bob Marley/Damian Marley/Dead Prez (Different rap styles and flows): The Hunger, Genesis, Losing It, Power, What you Want (Storytelling, guitar, and creativity): Jenny, Screech, and Violet's Tale trilogy (Great cover and singing voice): Ren/Sam Tompkins Live busking mash-up "Earned it/ Man's World/ Falling", and Ren/Sam "Blind Eyed Live" (angry car park attendant version is my favorite)
Nice reaction guys. I’m a total Stan and Ren is the only artist in the last 20 years that I added to my Em playlist. At least his rap joints. I had to create s as new playlist for everything else! No matter my mood or activity, I can always find a Ren number that fits.
i have ren on a few different playlists...it all depends on my mood cause he does everything from folk story telling to reggae to hip hop...he does some collabs too with folks....there is something he has done in such a wide range of music.
I'm loving going back and watching your Ren reactions - I started listening to Ren when Hi Ren came out, and there hasn't been a single day since then that I haven't listened to Ren. And pretty much the only other music I listen to now are artists that Ren has collaborated with!
Ren is an artist in a generation and his music appeals not only to people who like rap but also those who've never listened to rap find themselves transfixed - from 13 to 83 age is irrelevant to his lyrics moving people. I'm 62 old white woman (don't believe me? clean your room boys that bookcase behind you is a disgrace) who's never really listened to rap and suddenly I am searching for every Ren song and listening obsessively.
Check out Ren and Chinchilla: "Chalk Outlines" and "How to Be Me" and Chinchilla "Fingers - Live" and "Little Girl Gone". She's got some major pipes and the 2 of them together... Mind blowing. And everything by Ren is amazing. His street band is called The Big Push.
Man, you’ve got to do Losing It or The Hunger…Sick Boi…for some rapping or even What you Want for some old school hip hop. Then there’s his latest Animal Flow. The Ren Rabbit hole is deep. I’m excited for you
You think he was rapping in this one.....???!!!!! Dudes, watch The Hunger and Losing It, an edm beat by Fisher he added words to...the only words in the original were "Losing It"....Ren is it, man. He's the whole package.
Ren's from Bangor but homebase is now Brighton bc the music scene is way bigger than his tiny hometown. I bump Ren in the car every time I get in it, got all his hip-hop tracks on a playlist specifically for road-trippin'!! HUNGER, GENESIS, ANIMAL FLOW... Check'm
Loved your reaction boys, on top of the personality you both break down and analyse extremely well. You two keep doing what you’re doing, you’re gonna blow up - trust me. I’d suggest trying ‘Genesis’ by Ren, very Kendrick-esque, or maybe ‘The Hunger’.
Man you guys are hilarious!! Yall need to watch Sick Boi, Losing It and Money Game parts 1 & 2 Been obsessed with Ren for over a month now, listen to him daily.
Listen to it daily! He has almost every genre. I have yet to see country or heavy metal, other than that he does it all. Go further down the rabbit hole! ❤❤
You 2 are my new favorite reactors! 😆 You hella make me laugh, you guys are hilarious and fuckn smart too. You guys catch bars faster than so many others! Im here for it! ... Quick answer to your questions, I do listen to Ren on the daily. The more you discover the rest of his music, the more you'll see why. From rap, to reggae, to reggae infused rap, to heart wrenching ballads about loss and mental health, to songs with his band, The Big Push, and of course his storytelling songs like The Tale of Jenny & Screech, Ren honestly can do it all. I got 3 Spotify playlists for Ren and I def listen to him every day. Side note: Ren produces all his music, so all those beats are his creation. He likes One Take Videos, so if you keep reacting to Ren, you'll start to see more of these type of videos. My suggestion would be to always choose the LIVE versions of his songs, if available, as those are almost always One Continuous Take Videos, tho his newest release, Animal Flow isn't live but it's another One Take Video, proving again that Ren refuses to be predictable LOL. I really love your reactions, guys! Keep em coming! And trust me, you've BARELY scratched the surface of the versatility of what Ren can do musically. I hope you enjoy the ride down the Ren Rabbit Hole, and thanks so much for this one. Absolutely killing it with your reactions! 🥰🙏🏽❤️
You guys are funny - love your sense of humour. Been listening to Ren constantly since finding Hi Ren. His back catalogue is massive and so varied. He also does great collaborations with Chinchilla, Eden Nash, Sam Tompkins and he was in a great busking band call The Big Push
Personally there are many different songs of Ren that I listen to often, his deep stuff is a once in a while thing but then you play "walking on the moon" with Sam, or "losing it" my 6 year old loves his "children of the moon" ... There is no certain genre for Ren, if he vibes to it then he does it! Nice for you to personally rate it as well. Want to trip listen to the 3 part tale of Jenny and Screech non stop full version! Do that with a premier and react live! You will definitely get an audience!
Ren is a mutant and X-man. His mutant ability is blowing people's minds with music and lyrics and all who hear it become zombified and follow him. Ren zombies. Yo, just clowning man. Check out The Hunger, be amazed.
You have lots of recommendations in the comments for more of his rap. To see just how diverse his talents are check out: Ren & Sam Tompkins - Earned it /Mans World / Falling The Big Push (his band) -- either Wade in the water / Nina simone / Trouble so hard OR I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop
"Losing It" should be your next reaction... Then, when you have recovered from that one ... "The Hunger" will blow your mind.... To see his true versatility, check out "Chalk Outlines" with him and Chinchilla.... Then listen to his older band stuff, The Big Push, highly recommend Their cover of "I Shot The Sheriff" from Bob Marley...

From Wikipedia--
Ren Genres:
Hip hop, Pop Rock, Reggae, World Folk Funk, Soul, Country, Acoustic Alternative, Rock Indie, Pop Drum and Bass, R&B, Spoken Word, SkaNu, Metal Electric, Blues, Gospel
Ren Occupation(s):
Musician, Singer, Songwriter, Music Producer, Rapper, Performance Artist
Ren Instrument(s):
Guitar (acoustic and electric), Bass, Drums, Piano, Marimba
Bangor is in Wales where he was born, but Ren now lives in Brighton, which is in the south of England on the coast. Very chill, diverse and artsy town, kinda the UK's San Francisco. Most of the videos he's made are filmed there. This one was filmed in an abandoned underground warehouse that's become a homeless squat. The people who hang there have a regular fight club , where they get high and just lay into each other without holding back. Ren and Sam (the film director) wanted to include one of those fights in the film, it's not him under the mask 😅
And just you wait, Animal Flow dropped 3 days ago and it's absolutey MAD

EDIT2: Ok, if you two REALLY want to see Ren show off and blow your mind, pop over and watch The Hunger ... you have been warned
EDIT3: Hah, love the enthusiasm, but lads I go back before the Bulldogs made their debut....
EDIT4: Technically Ren is Welsh, Bangor is in Wales, which is part of the United Kingdom, he moved to Brighton some years back
For Bardcore - check out the 3 part Tale of Jenny & Screech
If you want to dive more into the rap side of his catalogue, I'd start with "What You Want" which is a brilliant homage to the Beasties,
followed with "Genesis" followed by "Sick Boy" followed by "Illest of Our Time" (this one goes after the previous one so you have some grasp of the meaning)
and the trail goes from there
For more rock oriented fare follow the breadcrumbs to The Big Push and dive in (I personally suggest Sweet Little Lady, Swan Song, Englishman in New York,
and the cherry on top 'I Shot The Sherriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop')
Last but not least, don't be afraid to check down the alleys, Ren has built himself a circle of talented musician friends that will surprise you and
make you glad you chose to look for hidden treasure (Hint: *Chinchilla, Eden Nash, Sam Tompkins, and so many more)
(Also Humble w/ Eden Nash is just pure young punk/rude boy heaven)
*Chinchilla: Take 1 part Christina, 1 part Jessie J, 1 part Rhianna, blend well and pour over your own unique style, served ice cold by the baddest bitch in town
(See Fingers (Live), Little Girl Gone (the official video is just *fun*)
*Gorran: I've fallen in love with his tune If (live version)
*Romain: I haven't found one that just ... stabs me in the face and says "LISTEN TO ME ON REPEAT" but all of them are ridiculously good
Power, Genesis and life is funny are a couple of my favorite. Humble is a good one too. There are many more I could list that I could listen to daily. He has a lengthy catalog. I am still finding new ones and I learned of him the beginning of this year.
ren can do it all, rap, sing,, act, write, hes amazing

And as an independent artist, he also produces his music and the beats (whenever he's using other peoples' beats to rap over them he'll name it a retake), and he directs his own videos that are so creative that you forget that they are actually very low-budget.
You will find a lot of stuff to listen and react to, whether rapping, singing, Raggae, storytelling, EMD, busking with his band "The Big Push", and so much more. His collaborations with Chinchilla, Sam Tompkins, Eden Nash, Bibi, and Venbee are not only amazing, they also introduce you to other great artists that you might never have heard of otherwise.
However, I loved your reaction and looking forward to seeing more Ren reactions!
The pig at the beginning is in a lot of his videos. He's referencing George Orwell's cult classic book, Animal Farm . In thr book, animals take over the farm from the abusive farmer. The pigs then take charge & abuse their power too. They write their manifesto on the wall, the most memorable line being "Some animals are more equal than others". The books writing on the wall theme is also in the Animal Flow video too.
No mainstream artists is like Ren. He does this all alone, and being an independent artist, he is to talented. You guys haven even heard him sing, sing yet
If you really want to see REN’s creativity and storytelling abilities, definitely watch The Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full) … make sure you watch the latest version as it’s a trilogy of songs and they are all joined in the (Full) version 😁👍
Hey guys, first time here. To your question about how often people listen to Ren, I listen daily after just hearing him in January for the first time with "He Ren". The dude's got a deep catalog with amazing variety which suits pretty much every mood. Especially when you factor in his work with his band The Big Push and his earlier band Trick The Fox.
Liked and subscribed.
Same💯
Same here 😇✌️
Ren is daily for me and i am more a metalhead than rap, i like rap but my wheelhouse is metal, and he has changed how i listen to music how i conceptualize it he completely changed how i view what i consider what a good song should sound like, the intricate way he pens his lyrics is on another level.
The thing about Ren's music is I feel like he has a song for every mood I'm in. He's become daily for me he's got so many different styles that it fits my eclectic style and ADHD so well. From his rap, to singing, to bardcore, to reggae; his music just knows how to speak to me on a different level then other artist. Also his collaborations has introduced some awesome other artist as well.
Love your energy guys. Nothing else to add,just please continue to react to Ren the genius.
Also..to answer your question at the end, since finding Ren 2 months ago, I listen to him 95% of my music listening time. Almost exclusively...
I listen to Ren daily. He's the only artist in that category for me. I have massive Spotify playlists spanning many decades, but Ren has his own playlist, and it's the one I listen to the most by far. He's my favorite artist.
I listen to Ren daily....haven't listened to any or a single other artist for two to 3 months now....the rabbit hole is an abyss...very very deep !
You two made me laugh. Ren is a man of many talents .He plays many instruments, and can sing, rap, beat box etc. Ren rhymes about real issues. You guys might want to listen to :his song "Dear God", " How to be be x Chinchilla" .Great channe;!
I am 62 years young and discovered Ren 2 months ago and have listened to his music every day since !!!
Your reaction was brilliant especially the reference to the Hardy brothers 😂
Enjoy the discovery of his music !!!
It is easy to listen to Ren every day because he crosses so many genres that he IS his own genre!
I listen to Ren multiple times each day.
He's from Wales, moved to Brighton UK to busk (singing in the streets) Dude is multiply talented. He can do it all. Welcome to the RENagade
Robin was the sidekick of Batman.
Another rich bar
Hardy Bros I love it when wrestling fans catch that bar!!
For more Ren rapping..pls react to :
Hunger...
Sick Boi...
Losing it...
Genesis...
Money game part 1&2...
Power...
N the latest Animal Flow..
For his crazy vocals..check out I Shot the Sheriff/ road to zion/ hip hop with his band The Big Push...or Chalk Outlines w Chinchilla..another artist u might wana check out
Enjoy the Ren rabbit hole
Loved this video! Ren is a daily listen for sure. It's not a mood thing.... He is such a diverse artist, if you want to be in your feels.. He got you. Wanna laugh? He got you. Want to vibe? He got you. Want to take a trip to heavy metal/hard rock history? Him in 'the Big Push' .. They got got you. Want to hear rap? He got you.... His catalog is soooo diverse, if you like music... Welcome to Ren's world gentlemen! Lol. Awesome reaction, really enjoyed the conversation. Glad you found Ren.. Do more! Edit: oh, you got my sub. Anything you do by Ren, I'm here, not a bad song anywhere in his catalog. Oh! Check out Chinchilla when you get a chance please! She's absolutely amazing and had some collaborations with Ren. Thank you!
Yeah, The Hunger and Losing It are gonna blow your minds. Also, in case you don't know, aside from the camera work, this is all Ren. He writes it, performs it, mixes it, creates the beats, etc. Dude can do everything!
Daily for me. So versatlie. He's got something for every mood. I've been listening to pretty much the same stuff for over a decade (the same metal, progressive metal and The Beatles) and seeing Hi Ren in January changed my world. I listen to songs to learn on drums for different bands I'm in but aside from that, all Ren and reactions to everything he's done for four months; which is unheard of for me. So much for you to get to that will just blow your mind. Happy travels through the Reniverse.
Ren is the most versatile Rap Rapper, Singer Sanger , producer, Actor, video producer, musician, Storyteller and Humble human being. His music is so versatile there’s no one like him that’s No B.S. I’m a music maker artist creative person as well so no messing when I say He is a Genius! Great reaction keep it coming you won’t be disappointed Try the Hunger, beast mode then losing it fisher rap retake then you will definitely lose 😂😂😂
OK guys, I'll see your Hardy brothers - had to look them up - & raise you a Demigorgon of Oppin.
Or how about this - "Ready? I'm heavy, I'm Mercury, I am Freddy."
- Freddy Kruger - malevolent
- Freddie Mercury - frontman of the band Queen (Bohemian Rhapsody, We Are The Champions, We Will Rock You)
- mercury is a heavy metal
Keep listening to Ren cuz there's just more & more of this great stuff. Oh, & remember "a kiddie called Screech on the streets" You'll hear from him again.
I listen to him daily because he has so many different styles, you haven't scratched the surface yet. Everyone is bopping to Humble right now, his song with Eden Nash. It's a poppy bop, but I'm really into The Hunger, which is another rap rap, although Losing It is a lot of fun. Then there's his reggae live busking stuff with The Big Push. You just don't know yet but you should.
Love you two! You are hilarious! Just found your channel and of course I've subscribed. 😊. I agree with all the other people's suggestions for Ren, but no-one appears to have mentioned, "Crucify your culture", by Ren. It's also great. Enjoy your Ren experiences. It's a very deep hope to fall down but loads of great songs on the way down.👍. Much respect from the UK.
He is British- Welsh I listen daily 16:59 actually. He decided to be a musician at age 12. Was in his mid teens -busking and in music school when signed by Sony. They dropped him after he became ill. It took 8 years to get a proper diagnosis of Lyme disease. In the mean time his body / mind were ravage by misdiagnosis and the wrong treatments. He has had a stem cell transplant a few years ago and is now in Canada getting treatment for an autoimmune disorder that involve demylenating of the nerves.
Ren's doesn't miss. Solo work:
Genesis, Humble, Penitence, Meaning, Insomnia, Ready For You, Chalk Outlines, How To Be Me, Life Is Funny, Sick Boi,
***The Tale Of Jenny And Screech (Full) ***
Power, Love Music (parts 1-3), Hold On, Blind Eyed - MC Sessions, Do You Believe, Crucify Your Culture, ...
losing it is a wordplay rollercoaster
To understand Ren"s astounding versatility listen to Ren's band The Big Push.
I Shot The Sherrif/Road To Zion/Hip Hop (Reggae).
Walk In The Water/Trouble So Hard (Soul/Gospel - Nina Simone cover) Ren plays amazing bass.
Sweet Little Lady (Heavy Metal Riffs with Jazz breaks)
GAK Sessions - It's Alright.
War Pigs (Black Sabbath Cover)
Precious - A brilliantly written song for anyone who misses somebody.
Praise You (Fatboy Slim cover)
Knowing what was coming with the Hardy brothers line, I was rolling when you were talking about wrestling at the beginning, and you did not disappoint when the line dropped! Great energy, great reaction. Have fun falling down the Ren rabbit hole. Tons of great rap, but also lots of incredible lyricism.
Hi Gents! Great reaction! I am a white metal guitarist in his 50's. Ren is a genius on a musical level 100%! I listen to his content 2-3 times per week these days. Cheers!
REN Humble !!! Animal Flow !!!
For me, when it comes to Ren, it took me a minute because after Hi Ren, I appreciated the originality, theatrical quality, and message, but I thought that he wasn't someone I would listen to regularly. Now, after finding almost all of his stuff, I have like 4 different Ren Playlists, and that's the only thing I've listened to for a few months now, which NEVER happens to me. There is no box that he fits in and no genre that really defines him. You've got to find his other stuff, I have not heard a single song I don't like. To recognize his diversity fully, I recommend first:
Ren/The Big Push: (reggae style) Live Busking mash-up "Bob Marley/Damian Marley/Dead Prez
(Different rap styles and flows): The Hunger, Genesis, Losing It, Power, What you Want
(Storytelling, guitar, and creativity): Jenny, Screech, and Violet's Tale trilogy
(Great cover and singing voice): Ren/Sam Tompkins Live busking mash-up "Earned it/ Man's World/ Falling", and Ren/Sam "Blind Eyed Live" (angry car park attendant version is my favorite)
You can listen to anything by Ren. He'll astound you every time 🔥🇬🇧
Nice reaction guys. I’m a total Stan and Ren is the only artist in the last 20 years that I added to my Em playlist. At least his rap joints. I had to create s as new playlist for everything else! No matter my mood or activity, I can always find a Ren number that fits.
I recently fiund Ren, and I listen to him and reactioners to him daily. I adore all he does. A giant surprise for a 68yr old white woman like me.
i have ren on a few different playlists...it all depends on my mood cause he does everything from folk story telling to reggae to hip hop...he does some collabs too with folks....there is something he has done in such a wide range of music.
I listen to him daily but he has such a wide variety of music that what i listen to from him differs
I'm loving going back and watching your Ren reactions - I started listening to Ren when Hi Ren came out, and there hasn't been a single day since then that I haven't listened to Ren. And pretty much the only other music I listen to now are artists that Ren has collaborated with!
Ren is an artist in a generation and his music appeals not only to people who like rap but also those who've never listened to rap find themselves transfixed - from 13 to 83 age is irrelevant to his lyrics moving people. I'm 62 old white woman (don't believe me? clean your room boys that bookcase behind you is a disgrace) who's never really listened to rap and suddenly I am searching for every Ren song and listening obsessively.
I have a few of Ren's songs on my Spotify Playlist for Rocket League. Money Game pt 2, Illest of Our Time, and Animal Flow.
Dudes his Losing it Fisher remix will blow your minds.
Losing it, hunger, ocean, check those for bars but really his whole catalog is lit.
Illest of our time is my fav rap he does
I was born in 1984. Jeff Hardy is my favorite wrestler ever still to this day
I listen to him every day throughout the day LOL all of his songs from his catalogue and there's so many of them! 'Losing It' is one of my favourites.
Check out Ren and Chinchilla: "Chalk Outlines" and "How to Be Me" and Chinchilla "Fingers - Live" and "Little Girl Gone". She's got some major pipes and the 2 of them together... Mind blowing. And everything by Ren is amazing. His street band is called The Big Push.
He is top 5 lyricist! You go back and listen to some of his older stuff and his skills are ridiculous! Great reactions guy!
Man, you’ve got to do Losing It or The Hunger…Sick Boi…for some rapping or even What you Want for some old school hip hop. Then there’s his latest Animal Flow. The Ren Rabbit hole is deep. I’m excited for you
His references are beyond his years. I can hear Beastie Boys, Rage Against the Machine (if you haven’t heard them you need to). Enjoy the Ren hole!
You think he was rapping in this one.....???!!!!! Dudes, watch The Hunger and Losing It, an edm beat by Fisher he added words to...the only words in the original were "Losing It"....Ren is it, man. He's the whole package.
He also does some very serious rapping on tracks from a few years ago - Ocean and Life Is Funny.
Love your observation : He can rap. Yep. He does..... . Thank you, great spontaneous reaction !!!
Ren's from Bangor but homebase is now Brighton bc the music scene is way bigger than his tiny hometown. I bump Ren in the car every time I get in it, got all his hip-hop tracks on a playlist specifically for road-trippin'!!
HUNGER, GENESIS, ANIMAL FLOW... Check'm
Kid leaves 95% in the dust . He can period .
Just about everything you hear from him is different from the last thing you heard from him. He covers every genre and including his own,hes different
REN - THE HUNGER!!!! he flexes his rap skills insane rhyme schemes alternating cadences and like 11 flow switch ups... ITS A MUST FOR YOU TO HEAR!!!
Loved your reaction boys, on top of the personality you both break down and analyse extremely well. You two keep doing what you’re doing, you’re gonna blow up - trust me.
I’d suggest trying ‘Genesis’ by Ren, very Kendrick-esque, or maybe ‘The Hunger’.
Genesis & Power are bumpin all day
Man you guys are hilarious!! Yall need to watch Sick Boi, Losing It and Money Game parts 1 & 2
Been obsessed with Ren for over a month now, listen to him daily.
He’s on my playlist & listen to him daily
Listen to it daily! He has almost every genre. I have yet to see country or heavy metal, other than that he does it all. Go further down the rabbit hole! ❤❤
That wrestling tie-in. You guys nailed it.
Listen to him all the time. Lots of things to check out with Ren. Have😊 fun
Ren is a wildfire, i take it you have seen his band - The Big Push, check out I shot the Sheriff, that is brilliant
He’s British. Born and raised in Wales, and spent most of his life in England
I've been trying to be more relaxed latel6, so my favorites to listen to of Ren's on the daily are "Ocean", "Humble," and "Chalk Outlines".
You 2 are my new favorite reactors! 😆 You hella make me laugh, you guys are hilarious and fuckn smart too. You guys catch bars faster than so many others! Im here for it! ... Quick answer to your questions, I do listen to Ren on the daily. The more you discover the rest of his music, the more you'll see why. From rap, to reggae, to reggae infused rap, to heart wrenching ballads about loss and mental health, to songs with his band, The Big Push, and of course his storytelling songs like The Tale of Jenny & Screech, Ren honestly can do it all. I got 3 Spotify playlists for Ren and I def listen to him every day.
Side note: Ren produces all his music, so all those beats are his creation. He likes One Take Videos, so if you keep reacting to Ren, you'll start to see more of these type of videos. My suggestion would be to always choose the LIVE versions of his songs, if available, as those are almost always One Continuous Take Videos, tho his newest release, Animal Flow isn't live but it's another One Take Video, proving again that Ren refuses to be predictable LOL. I really love your reactions, guys! Keep em coming! And trust me, you've BARELY scratched the surface of the versatility of what Ren can do musically. I hope you enjoy the ride down the Ren Rabbit Hole, and thanks so much for this one. Absolutely killing it with your reactions! 🥰🙏🏽❤️
Great comment! I do hope they take the time to read all their comments.
Lol trust me we do 🙏🏽 we appreciate all of you 🩸
They daily for sure. You just can’t help it 😂❤
Great reaction. Listen every day cos he has all different styles. Depends on how I’m feeling - daily.
Glad you came back to Ren guys. He has a lot to offer. I suggest Life is Funny next. Bars. Or Power for the vibe.
You guys are funny - love your sense of humour. Been listening to Ren constantly since finding Hi Ren. His back catalogue is massive and so varied. He also does great collaborations with Chinchilla, Eden Nash, Sam Tompkins and he was in a great busking band call The Big Push
You two are super silly,, I love it ha ha
Thank you. Keep Ren in the lineup!
Don't ask me. Can't stop listening to him. It's like a 5th Beatle.
I’m glad REN brought me to your page. You guys are hilarious!! Everyone pre-order RENs Sick Boi album, get him to #1.
Personally there are many different songs of Ren that I listen to often, his deep stuff is a once in a while thing but then you play "walking on the moon" with Sam, or "losing it" my 6 year old loves his "children of the moon" ... There is no certain genre for Ren, if he vibes to it then he does it! Nice for you to personally rate it as well. Want to trip listen to the 3 part tale of Jenny and Screech non stop full version! Do that with a premier and react live! You will definitely get an audience!
LOLOLOL....WAIT until you hear : ANIMAL FLOW ....Its EPIC !!
Prop Joe be doing Reactions now. Im here for it!
I wish he was Australian but he is a UK citizen. Very nice reaction to a great song.🦇
Ren is a mutant and X-man. His mutant ability is blowing people's minds with music and lyrics and all who hear it become zombified and follow him. Ren zombies. Yo, just clowning man. Check out The Hunger, be amazed.
REN put the hip hop community on notice when he trolled them with this song. LOL 😁
👀I can't lie 😂but this is by far the best reaction!! To watch people discover Ren. Is truly priceless ☺Thank you!!❤❤
You have lots of recommendations in the comments for more of his rap.
To see just how diverse his talents are check out:
Ren & Sam Tompkins - Earned it /Mans World / Falling
The Big Push (his band) -- either
Wade in the water / Nina simone / Trouble so hard OR
I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop
Losing It and Animal Flow are my favorites ❤😊
You just at the tip of the iceberg boys!!….go deeeeep….you will be impressed
"Losing It" should be your next reaction... Then, when you have recovered from that one ... "The Hunger" will blow your mind.... To see his true versatility, check out "Chalk Outlines" with him and Chinchilla.... Then listen to his older band stuff, The Big Push, highly recommend Their cover of "I Shot The Sheriff" from Bob Marley...
