"We must be better simply because the option exists." - Ren
This.
gay rights
This
I thought it was originally a quote by Stephen Fry. I may be wrong
What is left to say? What a beautiful composition beautifully executed. Peerless right now. Take a bow Ren 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼
Ren tells generational abuse and manipulation like nothing I’ve ever heard. This was every bit as amazing as it was heartbreaking.
I think our luck is that he has no Label behind his back who tells him what to do such as "nah, thats not mainstream enough dont do that.".
Ren is the only person that can Rap to a piano or a cello and make it sound perfect
Or an acoustic guitar.
I didn't even noticed that! Yeah who raps to cellos and a grand piano?? Ren is the goat!
I hate to break it to you but it's been done before, I saw the artist Dave has a piano track he raps over. I don't know much about him tbh but I saw his Brit awards performance.
@@themojoslide I saw that performance it was fantastic. But this piece of art that Rens has made is unbelievable.
@@ricksurratt9034 it's absolutely phenomenal! 😎👌A masterpiece! To start with I was a bit underwhelmed musically, (I was expecting hip hop) you build up ideas of what to expect, in your own mind over months of speculation. But for what Ren had written for money game PT 3 it's a great piece of Classical music alone. Then you add the storytelling and visuals on top of that and it's jaw dropping! Gripping stuff just like the tales! I'm glad I was wrong he keeps me guessing 😂
Ren is the looking glass who invites us, dares us, to look inside. And see ourselves
Sick Boi the album is now #1 in New Zealand and #2 in Australia on iTunes!
il devait être no 1 partout dans le monde
🙏🏼🎉
I think I saw last... He is #1 in 13 countries 😱😱🥰💚
#1 in UK on iTunes also
As of today, October 15, #8 in the world on iTunes, after only 4 days, behind a few albums that have been out for thousands of days (Adele, Daft Punk, Cold Play). Ren is sending ripples everywhere...
Ren is in such an unusual position. He has complete artistic freedom to say what he wants. It makes me wonder what other artists have wanted to say and do but have been shackled by music producers and CEO's of record companys.
When a 66 yr. old Canadian who grew up listening to Jim Reeves loves Ren, then you know this man is special. He is so talented, so unique, absolutely love his art. Love and respect, brother, hog fam Canada 🇨🇦 ❤
And 66 Yr old woman from New Zealand. I'm spellbound.
And a 61 year old from England who loves The Who and hates Rap buys RENS album, you know he is a genius !
66 from US ...I am enthralled in Ren. Music did mean this much to me since early 80's.
I'm just a young pup of 46, but no artist has hooked me in since I was first introduced to Pink Floyd.
This lad is a top tier showman. An absolute genius.
I picked up a guitar and learnt to play it, such was his inspiration.
I've learnt to play Hi Ren, the tales of... are still beyond my capabilities but I'm getting there.
57, UK, love to death: kate bush, floyd, sex pistols, acdc, rammstein, adam and the ants, eminem, etc, etc. cannot think of a comparable suitable peer (em is close...)
50-year-old broken woman here. Got ill at 40 with autoimmune and connective tissue and pain disorders as well as a resurgence of mental illness that had been under control before the grinding everyday pain....I was heading up. Now I'm broken and broke, and I can only lie here in my sick bed and wish I had all those moments back. The ones where I wished away the boring moments until breaktime, vacation, workday ending, waiting in line etc.... all those pain-free moments that I just wished away without even hesitating. What I wouldn't give for ten minutes of boredom without pain. Who cares about money as long as you have enough. quality of life isn't determined by how much stuff you have, but by how much you can enjoy your life. Stuff is so overrated.
When my son was in the hospital battling leukemia, I had to fight my agoraphobia just to get to be by his side. I fought through my own body and mental pain because my 26 (at the time) year old son was battling for his life. (He's two years in remission now, thank God). I had to fight myself to be able to be by my son's hospital bed every day because I was broken.
What I wouldn't give to be able to just go like a good parent and be there without fear for myself, just fear for him. What kind of mom is that way?
I did it, I fought through it, but what I wouldn't trade to be able to have done it without the internal battle.
People don't know how to savor the time they have. I know I didn't. And now, after a decade of pain every single day, there's little left to enjoy.
I savor the time spent with my son when he visits. The time with my bf when I'm awake and he's not working. But the time in between, if only I could have the pain-free time back, I'd never complain about being bored. I'd write a book, visit my mom, go to a restaurant, do all the things that I was too busy to do before because i was waiting for something better to do.
What a waste.
Here's hoping the brilliance in Ren's message reaches society and they actually hear it.... before it's too late, and like the mold in the petri dish, we consume ourselves to death.
I hope this isn't as garbled as I feel like it is. Sometimes the meds make me unclear. Bless you all and enjoy all the in-betweens. You'll miss them later. ❤
Wow, I don't know what to say. I hope you get to experience the moments you so much wish for. May God bless you. You are a strong woman, and a person at that.
@darko7360 aw thank you. Definitely don't feel very strong. It's been a hard road, and I learned too late to enjoy what I had. I pray, though, that my failures can guide someone else. Maybe show others enough to know not to waste the tiny moments. That's why Ren gives me hope. His talent and skills and storytelling have the potential to reach SO many people. All I can do is make my little story in his comments and maybe boost the importance of his message.
God bless you, and I hope you see all the small moments and the beauty contained in each one. 🌻
@@NixyRose72 As another disabled person I felt the need to reach out to you. You can still do those things you were too busy to do before. It may have to be adapted or reworked, but we can still have goals despite our disabilities. I hope you get to accomplish yours 😊. Mine used to be to go back my "normal" long ago, now it's simply to walk unassisted more than 10ft without collapsing while we find creative ways to work around that particular issue.
@a_person_with_thoughts4046 Thank you for reaching out. I'm trying to get past the mourning stage. I still grieve the loss of who I was. I'm working with a therapist (zoom is a helpful tool for keeping me from canceling appointments lol) to make small goals towards accepting myself now instead of trying to get back what I can never have again. It's one of the hardest things I've ever had to do.
I have days where I'm determined and I take those baby steps. But then there are the days where I just lie in bed and can't even bring myself to hope or care. Right now, there's more of the latter, but I'm working on trying to rebalance. Unfortunately, this time of year is my worst enemy (second only to myself). So I'm fighting on several fronts. I'm just trying to survive the holidays and then try to inch forward again.
I wish you the best on your journey, and thank you again. Sometimes, reaching out is more important than people know. Sometimes, a hand held out is the lifeline that someone needs. Keep reaching out to those you think might benefit.
It helps.
God bless and gentle hugs 🌻
@@NixyRose72 You're welcome 🥰. It's definitely a process that can take different amounts of time for every individual. Mine took about a decade and a technique called radical acceptance is what finally helped me. I try to remember that even the smallest progress is still progress, and I'm glad you're on that journey. ♥
I could just listen to a whole album of just Ren singing 'Ooooo's' ! I don't know what it is about his voice that just soothes my soul! It was was also a nod to Violet's tale I reckon. And then there's the rain at the end, that without even singing it, he's made us remember the chorus of MG1 and 2 ; "Oh rain, rain, rain, rain, a storm it comes our way..." Just damn! 🤯
His interview with Knox Hill today he said his next album will be more like his “Chalk outlines” vibe to it. I’m excited for that.
Kudos to the amazing Samuel Perry-Falvey for exquisite cinemaphotography!
Damn... I cried by the end of your analysis, and I can't quite figure out why. I caught the premiere and it tugged at my heartstrings, but I suppose it was your commentary that made me realise the connection between the song and my own life. Thank you for you, Chris. Ren is a gift to us all if we're willing stop and listen - not just hear, but really listen. I got some introspection to do now... Can't wait for the interview man, much love to you
And your comment made me cry. You’ve stated it so beautifully, about how we need to really listen. Thanks. 🩵
I felt so hollowed out by the end of the premiere, I had to wait to watch the reactions.
Me too
I watched it like 20 times now and I'm still speechless. This man is a true legend and his music will live on forever
Watched the hunt too. Know exactly how you feel. My mind is still reeling, a day later, from all this.
The reason everyone wears a mask but Ren is because it IS all of us. It could be any of us.
I’ve never Chris speechless before. Literally went the whole video with only 1 pause and not even to comment on video or vocals just to let us know he was speechless. This is definitely peak Ren!
I’m wrecked and built up all at once. Mind blowing performance by Ren followed by a thoughtful and powerful time of reflection and commentary by Chris. Chris, you do not shy away from taking something like this and making it personal. That helps us do the same, not just to listen then move on to the next track in the playlist, but to digest the truths and ideals that Ren skillfully and artfully presents and think on these noble and right things in a way that impacts our lives. This is beyond a reaction video. This is music and man reaching out, connecting and making a difference. 🤯 🙏
I freaking love how glued you were to the screen, amazing performance by Ren as always
We are spoiled by Ren. We are spoiled by his skills with music and storytelling, but even more by his willingness and drive to share his realizations. We are very lucky indeed... and now we need to translate that and share it with others.
Ren left me speechless with this one. It is incredible and he is truly special. I love how at the end the rain, rain, rain is physical instead of singing it like the other money games. So good!
Good point!
Bravo Well spotted. Rain Rain Rain
"Loco" from Ren's new album may very well have his finest vocal work yet. You must be so very proud of your "student". I'm glad your videos were there for him.
We're so used to being asked "what do you want" and "when do you want it" that we forget to ask ourselves "why". ❤
I watched it live today. Ren is incredibly talented.
Such an amazing performance. It definitely surpasses Hi Ren and the Tales for production value, especially showcasing Ren’s composition abilities. It’s insane to consider this is a one take video.
Couldn't agree more!
Comment for support! I really enjoyed this one. Both your reaction of not being able to stop, but also part 3. It sure is one hell of a bang to end the money game series on.
Also, great take on pursuit. I think one key is to change the mindset from end goal to curiosity about a subject. Be suprised and in awe for every new thing you learn and master. Do you know how to sing a C? Be amazed the moment you hit an C# or an F and dont think about what may lay ahead of that. If you're still interested in singing, explore like you're indiana jones in a deep djungle.
And YES. Lift others. If everyone shares their sholder for someone to lean on, the human race would have no limits.
I like that... Be compelled and curious... Don't seek achievement, seek the experience of learning and growth.
Like the first Money Game and like Hi Ren, and like The Tales, this is more than a song, it's a performance. Bardcore at its best.
Really strong point you highlight via Knox, about killing something about you and not you.
When a young rapper sadly took his life, I noticed a comment from one of his young friends.
'I don't think he wanted to die, he wanted to stop thing/s he could not deal with'.
May sound simple, but a realisation not finding space in sad hearts and minds.
Thanks for your depth and sharing 💛
King ISO-Edicius
It’s self-delete backwards. You’d appreciate it. Not killing the self, killing a part while living,surviving,striving, suffering. Lemme know what your thoughts are after the listen.
Thank you Chris.. exactly.. it comes from his heart , soul and mind.. you can’t just script this.. Ren broke down in tears during his twitch stream.. he truly wants to see the change…🎶♥️🎶
Yes, that nearly broke me. 😢
This isn't just a song, this isnt just a music video, THIS IS ART!
I still have no words to explain how that makes me feel
I have chills
❤
Yes, that's Ren playing piano at the beginning! He also composed the music for piano and strings! :)
I've never been as emotionally impacted from a music video as this. Never. I've just about cried 5 times watching this. Whatever it is... It's a masterpiece from both Ren and Samuel... Plus all others involved.
I agree - it’s more than a song - it’s a call to arms to create a better world.
Ren has hi own "time" Where 10 minutes feels like 2 minutes!
The perfect reaction and analysis Chris!
I honestly believe that, given half a chance, Ren and Sam could turn both Broadway and Indie Cinema upside down. THESE are the stories we need to hear... ones that follow us home from the theatre, and take root in our psyche. Ren and Sam are telling us the stories that truly matter.
F**k "Annie" and "Hamilton" ... we all know that the world needs to change, urgently - and what is music and art, if not transformative?
We don't need distraction, we need truth. And who better, to tell it?
We stand in the presence of a multi-talented genius, and I cannot wait to see what they tackle next.
This is creative art beyond anything I've ever witnessed.
Music, cinematography, lyric/storytelling, acting... My heart aches with sorrow & dances with joy... all in one.
I am so thankful for @Ren & the Renegade community.
Long may he shine & we grow 🐰🕳️🖤
Ren is organic in his profound abilities to lyrically, musically, visually & spiritually transport us to the depths of ourselves and challenge us to look openly & honestly in the mirror ☯️⚛️🙏
Respect for your reaction & thoughts, your passion is palpable ❤️
This is the most honest reaction I've seen so far. Big thumb up!
Ren is Currently #1 in alot of Countries but is Currently #2 in the UK with #1 being taken with Rick Astley.
Ren Commented how he is basically getting Rick Rolled for number #1.
I keep thinking [or asking], is Ren going to be this generation's Dylan? If he continues like this, then I think it likely.
50yr old lifelong Dylan fan - imo, yes, Ren is already the 21st century Dylan.
In my mind, the only question is: can anyone, living or dead, even touch *Ren?*
His new album is fantastic. I highly recommend listening to it in it’s entirety
it's been on loop since the 13th :)
Ren is only getting started, I can't think of anyone in my life who comes close to him, MJ and thriller has been the bench mark, here is Ren, doing it in 1 take, low budget, no label?? Wtf, this man is special.
"Rain rain rain rain rain" at the end, without even having to sing it! :)
Fantastic reaction - yes this is a mirror - heavy healing stuff!
Ren did it again - this is his new MASTERPIECE...rain rain rain rain - his garden will grow hystericly historicly🌱
Perfect artpiece, choreografie, symbolism, timing - the technical skills of the team and Ren's high level theatrical performance, not mentioned his BEAUTIFUL music, singing voice and lyrics - next level...and a lot of to think about....👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🩵THANK YOU, Ren
The Live Stream Treasure Hunt was MIND Blowing!!!! I love he has his and Sam’s name at the beginning of this video…. With Sam’s name first. We really do need to protect REN at all cost. Thanks for another great reaction. #RENegades!
We do need to protect him - I am worried if he rocks too many boats - are the powers going to come after him.
A truly masterful perception of Rens work, the underlying truth that sets Ren apart from all other artists. Do not look outside yourself, change always starts from the inside... kill your darlings
i think it says so much for the creativity and passion of ren that i watch reactors literally speechless at this video/song. I know its a word that gets thrown around a lot these days but to me this is a real masterpiece of both cinematography and song crafting. absolute brilliance from the first frame to the last.
id like to add also. Those strings towards the end... literally make me goosebump. its an emotion that the words cant quite get across to me but drive home the story. I think this might be my personal no 1 song of 2023.
Chris loved this reaction...Ren and Sam are magic...appreciate you❤
From Hitchcock's Rope done in two takes, to Frankie Sinatra, The Pogues to MJ's silent movie parts, to Elephant man to Kendrick Lamar. Plenty of Chris Nolan's sound design influence too. Also not to forget the one room vibe of Childish Gambino's This Is America. This is one of the best articulations of moving image to music I have ever seen.
Ren explained on his twitch stream the entire thing was recorded live, and only had 1 cut (towards the end when the camera shows the back of the wheelchair). The Mic was hidden and disguised as a lapel to begin. When they did the only cut with the back of the wheelchair they hid the microphone inside of his neck tie. They had to move it because Ren takes off his jacket at one point and for the water scene they needed to protect the mic more so they hid it in his neck tie with plastic water protection.
Thanks Chris. You get it. I can't wait till you can chat with Ren, I know that will be real musical insight...
Amazing reaction. Your summary at the end is perfect. We are all players in the game whether we want to know or not. Sickened, shocked, and kinda disgusted at myself. But also grateful to Ren for doing it. Masochist indeed. Amazing. Thankyou for your reaction.
Look, the money game is literally the air we breathe; there's no escaping it having a fundamental influence on us. Yes; willing or not, passively or actively, we're all involved in the money game. It's forced on us.
However
When you know better, start doing better, right?
Look for ways you can start withdrawing your "lifeblood" - your energy/participation/labour - from supporting the money game. You might not be able to make huge strides with that - so any of us are literally trapped in it because we have so few options in life - but if you make some small changes where you can - purposeful changes that are meaningful to you because they mean that you're TRYING; you've STARTED, even though maybe it feels futile and maybe they feel inconsequential in the grand scheme of things - you ARE working on doing better, now that you know better.
The alternative is what? To know better and to ignore it all? That contributes to the huge moral injury you have to cope with going forward, even if you try to banish the thought/refuse to accept that you're playing a part in the money game.
Even if what you can change feels futile, or insignificant, make the change for *you.* For your *soul.*
To be a good ancestor.
I haven't seen such a spectacular piece of art since Hi Ren.
The more I listen to this the more amazing it is.😮😢congrats to Ren , Sam and all involved.
I think the treasure hunt, money game experience ending moments before this began left some of us so taken aback, confused , and in utter awe. At the end I found myself just saying, no no no no no, for at that point I felt like I could take no more. Really appreciated someone reacting to this from the same perspective. Thanks
Tim Minchin said : By the time you reach your life long dreams, you're about to die and it was all meaningless. Passionate dedication to short term goals is the best way to go.
I really cant wait until Ren is able to start working on his story series he wants to do for netflix with Sam. This alone just shows how friggen awesome it would be.
Yes. A mini-movie with a maxi-message { The amazng Dimash is saying much the same about how we're headed in the wrong direction and need to change course. In a very different way! See his 'Story of One Sky')
Beyond being a mega-talented creative artist, Ren is first and foremost a Story-Teller. As one Reactor put it; he's giving us a modern take on an old style Parable. You're right. Ren is a Powerful Social Commentator, but, instead of lecturing he just lays out the whole picture with a central character that we can all recognise. He shows various facets of each, never perfectly evil or good, but like most of us; flawed. As in his Jenny, Screech and Violet'sTale (a masterpiece I thought was some kind of 'pinnacle'!} Ren demonstrates how - many perpetrators are victims also, and the pathways that lead them there. What's really exciting to observe is that Ren is just getting started!
This is my favorite reaction to this song. Kill hierarchy and codependence and embrace community and interdependence. Absolutely perfect. Thank you ❤️🔥
What's weird for me tonight is...I was just watching Johnny Cash - HURT. His cover of the N.I.N's song but Cash made it his own (according to the creator). Recorded when he knew his wife was soon to die and he probably knew he didn't have long himself, he looks back at his life and realises what's really important.
I'm speechless. This was Genius. It is a Masterpiece. I'm in Awe. Thank you, Chris, for your fantastic analysis. Wow! 💜
You can tell that chris loved this a lot as he watched basically the whole video without pausing and talking 😂
I never know what to expect when Ren drops a song but I always know I will walk away viewing life a little bit differently. Awesome reaction and analysis!
ARTISTRY. Pure and simple.
Good stuff Chris; the discourse at the end there probably needed a full academic and political panel but you did well expressing a number of perspectives.
Ren- thank you so much- keep treading your wondrous path - we need it!❤
I think I had the same look of awe and disbelief on my face as you did when I watched this for the first time. Such an incredible performance/message and beautifully choreographed together.
I got this "did you know, you can play hundrets of songs on the piano just by learning four chords?" ad where they advertise for a piano learning program. So when Ren started Money Game by playing the piano in this reaction, he put the expectations extremely high for the ad haha
Haha that’s perfect.
I really appreciate your words at the end. No matter what we achieve it will never be enough unless we feel that we are enough on our own. ❤
Ren goes in ewry ones emotions, and nothing we can do.....i don't mind. Great reaction
🤘😁🇫🇮💙🪄🎼✨💯👍
Ren is all the self-help I need. He is the Dr Suess of musical truth ❣️
For me, it has always been theater, able to affect me to this level, especially mono spectacles.
Ren has my respect.
Great reaction, thank you!
14:10 From Ren's song Depression "Constant stressing conceals blessings, You will grow in broken settings" Ren wrote that at his worst, a resigned but hopeful FU to the depression his suffering wrought upon him... Chris, from my own experience I know the suffering I survived didn't just shape me, it defined me... Whether we give up or rise again, it defines us & until we face it, we will never know what we can be.
I'm sure Ren is telling us that here.
I'm so grateful to experience art, talent, and raw truth in Ren.
Yet another masterpiece by Ren! Having watched the premier live, I knew your reaction would follow minutes after. Thanks Chris! Hats off, Ren!
So, the production value is getting better, camera work is advancing, the budget seems to be growing with extras, plot lines and props.
Seems like REN’s got his own little “money game” going on, too?
Feels like a final installment is needed for loose ends to end at the beginning of the story again for resolve?
This is some dam fine art.
The fact that you truly appreciate how difficult Ren's performances are is THE reason I watch. Great reaction!
Great work Chris! I have said several times in my reactions that Ren is the rising tide that raises all ships, which is analogous to your take at the end, proving that he is walking the walk. Leading by example.
You cant go living without being part of the money game in most parts of the world, so as we all have to take part of it someway, i think you should make sure, that some of it goes to your heart, and not just the pursue of money, we all need money, but we dont need it at any cost, and we dont need a mountain of gold.
You could proberly also get this mountain of gold, and also be happy, but you need to have heart in it somewhere, if you dont have that, you got to stop up..
Hey Chris, have you ever watched This Is America by Childish Gambino? It's the closest thing to the kind of art Ren puts out I can compare to. You see these artists so rarely. Thanks for reacting, Chris!
Huge love and respect to this channel and Ren. I totally admire all this happening right here
It is literally IMPOSSIBLE to listen to Ren and watch how he delivers it without getting chills and well up.
It’s a story that has so much truth embedded in it.
I hear a little piece of every song in every song- a word phrasing, a line, an image, a melody.
In the very beginning I hear the beautiful arpeggios of For Joe, and the the vocal melody as well. Then of course it’s the melody humming from MG pt1.
The literal “RAIN RAIN RAIN”.
Rain, rain, rain, rain. A storm it comes our way.
Watched the hunt and the end blew my mind I can't believe someone can keep making these songs is a genius which Ren is a genius.
This video is deceptively deep, as your reaction emphasizes. Forty years ago I had a similar encounter when
I filled in, as an administrative assistant, for someone who was taking her annual summer vacation. The client was a mortgage broker, first name "King" (really!). He had a second assistant-his eight-year-old son who arrived each morning, intently serious, in a suit and tie, carrying his own briefcase. The boy quietly performed his assigned work while I did mine. He needed minimal supervision. (That vignette became fodder for thought for me, for my entire life since.)
Ren is in community building, creating collective processes, like the ones you took part in, solving riddles collectively, which you couldn't do alone. That is his answer. Just do it together, unite instead of divide...
Absolute chills when the strings kicked in
Beautiful reaction to this masterpiece of Ren's
I leave this comment on every reactor, cuz I think it's the point.... How many of us will be impacted anaugh by this masterpiece to make change on our daily live? We all apllaude Ren but how much are we cuting off the money game? I do, and I will, buying from local production, quiting all the amazon and walmart of this world, not changing my phone befor it's realy need to be change, buying drift close and furniture as much as I can. Funny how all those little thing are good for the environement as well. More money in my pocket.. to be able to help other who are in need. At the end of my game I'll have nothing left but God know's I'll be happier. Peace to everyone 💐
Great reaction, particularly the last bit! "What we give cannot be taken from us..."
One fan commented brilliantly on the premise but noted that at the end, it was a click, not a shot. So Jimmy even failed to kill himself.
He’s a master.
I don’t think I’ll ever be the same after watching.
I love your reaction. Ren and Sam gave us quite the journey. I love that Ren makes us think, shows us where we are as a society, and that only together with compassion towards our brothers and sisters can we create a better world.❤
Oh by the way congratulations on the interview. 🎉
Someone once said to me “it’s all about our journey not our destination” and with the beautiful reaction & insight you provided, I remembered that each breath, each step along the journey counts, maybe they provide us with beautiful opportunities to do better for ourself and for our world in every moment. Your reaction reminded of this and I thank you and of course the remarkable Ren for the reminder. If nothings else I try and expect nothing more than doing the best I can in every passing moment and that I pray will be enough to offer us all some peace when the time comes for each of us hang up our hats on our last dance
Watching your reaction was like watching an exaggerated version of my own every time I watch it. Even though you didn't stop once to react in your typical fashion, it was almost a perfect reaction in that it was a mirror of all of us
It's brilliant. So much to pick up. When he looks in the mirror with the hood on he reveals himself, he reveals US. We are the players in the hoods. It's a deep dive. Thanks for this great analysis.
Chris, I loved that you watched this following the live stream too and said perfectly what we were all thinking and feeling. Bless you man x
I was blown away. Ren is a genius. This was amazing. Thank you for a great breakdown
Thank you for your insightful commentary and analysis. In my humble opinion, this was Ren's best work to date. Brilliant creation and performance.
And it’s precisely the journey that Ren suffered through and continued on that led him RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW.
He has said that during his video when he hit 1M SUBSCRIBERS and again during recent interviews- that regardless of how much work he put into Sick Boi, some tracks dating back to 2015, he owes so much to the support of his friends and crew that helped him create his vision for the videos, to the TH-cam community who expanded his audience by reacting to his music ( with Hi Ren as a launching pad), and his fans who have always shown up in the comments section with so much gratitude, love , and 99.9% of positivity) providing him ( AND EACH OTHER ) with a community.
Every artist thanks their fans. But they are working with a literal TEAM of PR, managers, agents etc for promotions.
I am proud beyond words ! Ren gave us a gift , of understanding and acceptance. We created a community based on those principles.
And together, ALL OF US, played a part in Sick Boi hitting #1 on UK charts.
