For anyone that might be wondering, Ren just managed to fit 452 words into a two and a half minute song. That's 182 words per minute... more than 3 words a second. No repeated choruses, just 452 uniquely crafted bullets of art fired at our fragile human hearts.
Thanks for the breakdown - makes it sound even more impressive (if that were possible when we're talking about Ren!) Love that phrasing re firing bullets of art at our hearts💘
I work with young offenders aged 16 to 24 and I've used your music, lyrical talent and uniquely 'real' performances to encourage them to express the emotions of their intergenerational trauma. You are a legend kid and truly underrated, not only as an artist but for the many people yet to hear the soul reaching span of your talent. I wish you nothing but continued success🚀🌟
BROTHER, the range of your music is incredible. One minute you drop an indierock/pop song, the next you do a three part acoustic story that hits you right in the feels, then next you drop a rap song with one of the most fire beats I've heard. I respect your grind, I can't wait to see you totally blow up.
Fucking hell I've spent the last 5 hours devouring every morsel of creative genius this guy has put out there. The sheer breadth of his creativity is just astonishing. I hope health and hunger allow this phenomenal talent to keep growing 🙏
So well said! That sentence "the sheer breadth of his creativity etc..." is 100% on point! Hubs and I have been positively obsessed with this incredible human for the last couple of months.
Ditto bro! His range of skill and ability is unbelievable, best artist I've heard in a very long time... Just hope his health allows him to carry on, there's festivals to be headlining and sold out shows to be played, I hope to see him play live asap
Hi Ren, I am a professor of social work in Canada focused on trauma, and living with similar symptoms as you. I am sharing your art with my colleagues and students. In love, gratitude and kindness.
Hi Ren I am a 64yr old grandmother who never liked hiphop or rap, you have completely changed my mind! Love your stuff! I was so sick of Bitches, Hoes, Bling and greed, arrogance and plastic punched out shit on the radio. Hats off to you for keeping it real, stick it to them or we all go down. Loved money game, Losing it was so funny but also your collaborations. Still going down the rabbit hole but I haven’t heard much real since the 70’s so refreshing! love to you and best wishes!
Ren is a modern Bard. Stories told through words, rhyme, emotion and performance. Not "just" one thing or another, but taking from any genre, style or medium to convey the intention behind the experience. I was put onto him via a reactions video and I'm enjoying going through his older stuff and the talent, obvious effort and skill is evident. Dude's gonna blow up. For real.
I have no idea how Ren has remained so relatively low key for so long , he has to be the most talented artist out there at the mo, crossing all boarders and with a solid fresh new approach (sociologically and musically)… I feel like a kid that knows some really cool secret that’s about to blow up! .. I’ve so much thanks for his music . Genius ❤️
Honesty because Ren is like fusing trip hop vibes with modern sound and so it's like caught between this like valley of nostalgia for this sound like garage beats and old school raps combined with what was trip hop, where you had guys like tricky almost rapping over a very electronic melodic sound and of course then you had massive attack portishead fuck I had an ex-girlfriend it really liked morcheeba, anyway it's got that kind of playful back and forth where you can never really settle I mean try to class massive attack into a genre you can't and so try to class Ren into a genre you can't. But our prevailing culture wants to class everything into everything stuff that spectral definitely has its place it's a message that people hear as long as they're meant to hear it and I don't think Ren minds. If you listen to his music is clear he doesn't give a shit He's happy when it's hard to the people that need to hear it and that's how it works.
I think Ren is an actual Renaissance Man. A revolution and a revelation in one. The exploration of our dark and light traits, the struggle that it is just to live some days. All of these concepts resonate with a lot of people. I'd like to believe they would resonate with everyone, but people often embody the battle we have within ourselves. Both sides. I like that Ren addresses the sort of paradox that humans represent.
What the fuck. I went from never having heard of Ren, to UA-cam recommending I watch "Hi Ren" 8 days ago, to Ren now being one of my favorite artists of all time. Save some talent and charisma for the rest of us dude, jeez!
If your not worldwide famous in the next year something is wrong. Your music is not just brilliant its vital for a lot of people. Real, Poinent, uplifting, essential. Will spread this around like a when I knife meets jam.
There are tibal elders in the middle east listening and being asked to react to HI REN, through an interpretor and they respect his genius and his message at the end.
@@p4fizzleThat's unfair mate. If you heard him spiting the 10 commandments over an old school reggae beat, you'd understand. The bit about coveting his neighbours wife while she's hanging the washing out, bro, it's fucking insane. Then the follow up, about bearing false witness on the husband to get him out the way? Hard. Jesus Christ is the rap poltergeist, his dad is a god, and his mum is a virgin apparently
You are a genuine genius. I absolutely adore your creative work and charisma. I am so glad that I found your music a couple of years ago. You never disappoint.
It's impossible not to love every single thing he does. Ren is full GODMODE, and is touching millions, perhaps billions. He has this beautiful, angelic energy that seems to emanate... Save this planet Ren, and then some of the people ....
WOW, always loved Ren for his beautiful indie music and now he drops this. Amazing beat, lyricism and talent, defo one of my all time favourite artists. Keep killing it Ren.
I recently had to pull myself out of a relapse I was clean for over ten years I almost lost myself to suicide after that never thought I'd ever see another rock bottom mentally your guys song chalk outlines and this one have been some of my saving grace songs and now i just can't get enough of your music!!! Between you and Chinchilla man would give anything to see yall perform especially when you guys are on the streets!! It's my favorite 😍 so thank you for being such a massive part of my mental recovery please don't ever stop!!! Much ❤️ !!
Mate, u HAVE to make a master-class. You are the most amazing musician I have ever come across. U talk about the things that are relatable, that help people, that everyone else is too scared to talk about. Keep making music.
This is the most insane rap demonstration I have ever witnessed. Tech 9 to Eminem to NF to dax, I'm sorry but Ren is on another level altogether. And not to mention this beat is sick AF
@@toastwithoutbread Aesop Rock can be put on the same level as Em and Tech 9. His vocab and wordplay is unmatched. It’s esoteric and can take a week to understand the whole meaning of just one song.
I am an old man and nothing makes happier than finding something totally out of my zone that blows me away. Thank you Ren for opening up a whole new world to me, I am so very grateful. Your body of work is remarkable in it's diversity and undeniable creativity. Beyond the greatness that flows thru you, you are also very easy to root for. I hope today finds you in good health and whatever your view of success may be, I sincerely hope you achieve it as it is well deserved. Much love to you.
Ren deserves the Nobel prize for literature and poetry! He transcends popular culture & speaks from a place beyond the limits of time, trends & fads. I suppose it comes from that nonlinear place within sometimes called “Truth”? I’m grateful for his courage but concerned by it too. Too much truth historically invites tragedy. John Lennon, Tupac, MLK, Gandhi, Lincoln, JFK, you get the point. Anyway, thanks for sharing your divine gift of words with the world.
Deserves international awareness, sharing is caring in this day and age, collaboration efforts you make are wicked, would love to see you breeze through multiple genres. Hope your healing is progressing Ren, all the best man, from one chronic pain sufferer to another. One day no pain.
I've spent the last few days watching you and listening, hanging off every word . Brilliant talent and there's seems to a lot of it coming from Brighton.... mad love geezer ....as long as you keep producing, I'm gunna keep listening...
Thank you. Im paralyzed and stuck in the bed quite alot so your stuff really hits me in the heart. The world needs you, everything is broke..people are broke
I'm a 30 year guitar and piano player with perfect pitch. I use to do production for major artists. I was a guitar tech for multiple top bands. In all my life I have never seen someone so creative with their voice. How he integrates it with the music is next level. If society has any appreciation for talent Ren will be as big as Ed Sheeran.
This is my number one favorite artist of all time and I just discovered him. His talent is inhuman and hes so real and doesn’t even need to swear! It’s already too stimulating, its outgrown everything that rap thought was cool. Spiritual music.
I cannot stop watching reaction videos to all of your music, and I've never done that before. It took me a while to understand why. I usually watch a couple reacts to a song when it moves me, but it's like every single work of art moves me to the point where I want to relive that first time feeling of awe through others seeing it the first time whether they're bopping their heads uncontrollably or making that scrunched up face that people only make when they're feeling a super filthy beat, or whether they're jumping up and down at the sheer joy of what they just witnessed, or bawling their eyes out, or vibrating with an overwhelming feeling of hope or just silently sitting there in a stunned state of reverence or even introspection. I've had every one of those reactions at one point or another during my dive into your music, and I'm literally only about 8 songs in, but I have to stop at every one and find all the reactions I can before I move on. Anyway, you're not likely to see this, but if you do, as a 45 year old mother of a daughter in her 20s who has been through both physical & mental struggles all of her life, your music gives ME a sense of hope for her future. She's enjoying your music too, which seems to inexplicably defy age, gender, time, and genre. You're a once in a lifetime phenomenon & I'm here for it.
Admittedly I have specifically played 0:35-0:44 sooo many times. I love the different inflections of the voice, especially “for spirits to channel out of my lyrics-.” It’s cool when an artist can add that extra emotion on a specific word or line, and have fun with it.
I'm 59. Music lover. I've seen and heard VERY few old souls in my lifetime. Ren, you have to be a reincarnated genius. You are channeling something on much higher frequency than Earth. ❤ You are a true gift.
I listen to metal 99% of the time, Ren you are that 1% I just can't stop creeping into my musical life, your amazing and I have so much respect for you!
Okayokayokay... I love everything about this, but purely speaking about the video.. 0:33 the physical transition from Monster to Winning Every Level that is visually marked as Ren and the camera pass on opposite sides of the steel bar? al;kdjga;ldkjg so good
You made this dutch white 45 year old, raised on country classical, rock, punk, grunge and pop woman fall for rap! The intelligence behind the lyrics and the challenge of understanding, the complexity of the cadances and non monotomus speech. It is addictive!
Found this after hearing Knox Hill just kill a break down and reaction to this song. Dude... like, the rhyme scheme switch up, the flow, the beats, the production... its like watching a Shaolin martial artist display several styles of kung fu with a level of precision that only a true master would know. Just like Sick Boi, it bangs. You are like the bowling ball that just hit the curve on the lane and about to hit the strike. Something big is coming for you, and I am here for it. I could go on and on about how good this song is, but I will respect your time, so you can make more and more bangers. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with the world!
Update: This song had 20K views when I started going down the rabbit hole known as REN. I've been pushing this to everyone I know like a mother...Happy to see others are enjoying this as much as I am. 🤘....And people say reaction channels *hurt* an artist's music 🤨
Ren, you are such an inspiration. I'm also a 90's kid and grew up with rap, hip-hop, rnb and ofcourse then discovered rock, metal and all other genre's and just passion for music. Currently as an ambient artist I don't know where I'm going, but seeing you just do your thing really gets me flow.. I won't make a rhyme no xD I must resist. But this is all you and inspiring people. It was said I do the same so I'm so happy to find someone I can relate to on such a deep level I'd even call ''my tribe''. Your energy and creations helped me realize that I shouldn't keep my passion for other gengre's in me and do whatever I feel I need to create!!! Thank you for existing! So happy you've been strong and had a strong will to keep going (cptsd here...). Trully wish I could see you live or even just jam or vibe to your music in the same space. If it happens it happens though, I'm trully grateful that youtube has suggested your video Hi Ren to me. I wish you much luck on your Journey and hope your Growth and development goes on the way that benefits you the most! You freaking deserve it brave Soul!!!!! *I'm not crying no..* Much Love from a little country called S-LOVE-nia. Nat
Fucking hell Ren you are fucking amazing. I'm 48 live in Perth Western Australia; I listen to a bit of hip hop (mostly older stuff; I'm pretty fussy and completely intolerant of all the bullshit that seems to have become the staple of artists in the genre (like guns, misogyny & all the boring cliche'd crap). The majority of my music feed is rock n roll, especially 90s stuff, but fortunately, because I had Harry Shotta, Akala and a couple of other British Hip Hop artists in my subscribe feed, your songs started popping up on my playlists and OMG what a blessing to have found you. Your lyrics are incredible'; your flow is excellent; your composition is original and fresh and interesting and unexpected, which I love. I love artists who drop singing into their rapping and who aren't afraid of guitars - that you can do all of that, without having to rely on collabs or by using stock riffs composed and played by someone else - truely extraordinary. I think you are magical, inspirational and have talent unlike anything I've seen for a long time. THANK YOU for sharing your music with us all I feel privileged to be able to call myself a fan. I've been sharing your stuff all on my socials man I think you are a star and although I wouldn't wish massive fame on anyone, I hope that you continue to be able to make your music and achieve a level of success that means you have absolute creative freedom and a healthy paycheck without any of the treachery and misery that the music industry can inflict on artists once they reach a level of popularity. Stay true to you. You know how good you are - stay humble and (sorry its such a cliche) but keep it real. For real. lol
Thanks man!!! I've got a new video premiering in 1 hour that I'm really excited for you to see, would mean alot if you joined me for the premier and give it a share if you like it! ua-cam.com/video/3Q6uCrpzbPY/v-deo.html
@@RenMakesMusic Mate I've been waiting for this for dayz.. notifications on, sat at my pc like a little fan girl right now haha... a bit strange for a 40 year guy lol
I'm 52 years young and I have always had a really deep passion for music of most genre. Ren fuses all genres 2 form HIS own original sound. These days that 'originality' is rare 2 say the least. His lyrics are relevant and resonates these times we are all living out. His musical talents are on par with classical composers of old. Keep on,keeping on rocking Ren!!! LOVE,PEACE & RESPECT BROTHER!
Get this man some medicine because he's SICK AS F***! I've been hooked on Ren's art (I won't call it music, because it's well beyond that) for the last several weeks. I can't stop!
Ten… i hope you know how amazing you are for sharing your life with the world. You have unknowingly gave a healing touch to many souls including myself. I think that just by speaking out loud about your physical and mental anguish you have helped others to better understand their issues, so with all my heart and soul thank you and may you find the light at the end of your suffering and enjoy everlastice peace in your mind 🫶
I' ve been waiting 20 years for someone who's more talented than eminem , I think i' ve just found him. Thank you for showing how beautiful, raw, honest, pure, artistic, poetic and authentic rap can be.
Umm killer mike and el-p have been doing it since the late 90s, if you don’t think killer mike should be a goat by now then you haven’t listened to killer mike. Jus saying
REN’s music is gloriously defined by his pristine gifted mind. Find it, Far beyond the norms of modern music. Inspired by you in ALL your trials and triumphs of your healing journeys. Music is truly therapeutic. Healing mindset’s energises as one. I’m nearly 50, dealt with over 4 decades of medical situations of my own since childhood. Stroke at 6, epilepsy intertwined with brain damage. Some days are better than others. My diagnosis’ never defined me. I, too… an inspiration. Always listened to 80’s rock. Today’s music sounds so bland. Yours is sincerely extraordinaire to my Haven’t came across music like yours ever in my lifeline of being alive. Listening to your music is uplifting, and extremely extraordinary beyond words can ever describe. Keep on shining brighter in billions of stars in the darkened night above. Thanks for believing in you.
Dude I’m so happy I found ur music. You are an extremely unique artist with the amount of passion,love, thought and creativity that goes into every song u release. Can’t wait for more art from u. Thank you for it all ren
FIRE, dude! F*cking hell. I was introduced to Ren by "Hi Ren," which is the greatest piece of performance art I've seen in ages. I can't believe your versatility, poetry, delivery of heart wrenching inner truths, melodies, ability to create emotion by manipulating the sounds on your guitar.....I haven't been able to get your music out of my mind. I've been waking up every day for the last week thinking about and feeling your art. I don't think I've ever been so moved by any one artist. You have my love and utmost respect. THANK YOU
"Putting backy with the green roll a fatty dopamine starts flowing" best line in the whole song, the word play between dope and dopamine is literally seamlessly switching the sentence
I didn’t think you could amaze me like you did with Violet’s Tale again but this switch up of styles, lyricism, flow and bass is insane and pretty close to it 🔥👑
I have to watch it 20 times to understand what's going on... the sound effects, your beatboxing, your words, the hole setting, your facial expression, your acting, your body control, your voice, woman in the back, also wondering wtf is going on, all that in a one shot video. You're awesome and it's a pleasure to hear your music!❤ THANK YOU SO MUCH
This brings out some memories! Always an instant classic that this Fella churns out!! I love how dynamic Ren's work is. It's rare that one song can fit 10 different situations, emotions, etc. Talent, TRUE RAW talent, is SO rare!! Thank you for making us feel heard, understood, and happy to be as strange as fuck!! Aways, Take Care, 😅Aunt Amanda😂
I only found you the other week and I haven't listened to anyone else since! You're skills are masterful, you literally have a song for every playlist I've ever made!! You are so criminally underrated!!! You should be on every radio station!! You're story telling, your vocals, your ability on the strings, all masterful mate!! Keep rockin on man!! 🤟🤟🔥🔥
I have no words for the connection I feel to this. I've got ten years on you but you've captured the vibe of my youth in the 90's in a way that absolutely floors me yet remains completely intangible, it's an elation that feels untethered. I love it. I'm enthralled and I appreciate your energy so much, it's therapeutic in a way I didn't realize I needed.
Just the music and the therapy this WORLD needs my man! this doesn't just hit one genre, or age group or, region of the world. 52 yr. old American heavy metal guy, Obviously found you through hi Ren But this is sick af!

Poison in my veins
Lights a flame in my brain
That maintains the pain that may change my frame of mind
Blind I design rhymes
Intertwined, double time
Genuine frankenstein
I made a monster
Conquer music scene, golden ticket Wonka,
Conjour, lyrics in my belly I got thunder
Younger, everybody wishes they were younger
The older I’m getting the more I feel the hunger
Belter like a welter weight helter-skelter need alka-seltzer
Alpha, beta, delta I help you into the fall out shelter
Melt a mind or two with my rhymes you might find you never felt a
Feeling like this feeling be believing I’m a daemon I’m a devil
Fuck the game, completed every level I’m a vessel
For spirits to channel out of my lyrics I’m a devil
I raise my fist the anti-capitalistic pissed I revel
In society collapsing, fantastic now pump the treble
Tick tock off the top of the tip of my tongue I am tapping telepathy
Terrify them with the terrible telekinesis tantrum yes I torture the enemy
Slowing the flow and then growing the flow and I swallow the flow like a Toblerone
Im a beast with the flow, I’m a feast on the flow
Then I’m ripping it up and I’m taking it low
Kiddie with a black heart in a car park by Primark
Jamming Django Reinhardt
Living like a rockstar refine rap to a fine art
Vincent Van Gough I start
Making my mark
Like Frankie Sinatra
King call me Arthur
And my style is homegrown like growing cali weed
Don’t need no personal trainer I got trainers on my feet
You know I got the soul in my bowl when I eat
You know I’m staying grounded when I grind up my beef
But if you got a problem my brother I might just put on some rubber gloves
And just choke you till larynx ruptures and blood it just bubbles up
And the bubbles just double up and you struggle but luck is up
Cause I’m subtle at covering up the trouble
Cover up the crime scene, 1990 that’s my scene
My teen years were spent rolling the Thai-green
Obscene fiend in a pair of baggy jeans
Putting backy with the green roll a fatty dopamine starts flowing
My cerebellum glowing
The pendulum is slowing
Im swinging and I’m swaying but I don’t know where I’m going
Mind running jessie Owens, hallelujah Leonard Cohen
All these seeds that I’m sewing slowly growing like trees
I grow then I preach
Scrap that I teach
Teach over beats
To all those that seek
Teach on these streets
Streets can be bleak
But bleak was the place where I rose to my feet
Thank you, I needed them cause it's unbelievably fast. another amazing song cheers
Thanks
💥💥💥✊
You chanel for those past on to tell there story....your amazing my boy never stop doing what you doing God bless you...ps I love yr music and I'm 45

Ren is a modern Bard. Stories told through words, rhyme, emotion and performance. Not "just" one thing or another, but taking from any genre, style or medium to convey the intention behind the experience.
I was put onto him via a reactions video and I'm enjoying going through his older stuff and the talent, obvious effort and skill is evident.

If you listen to his music is clear he doesn't give a shit He's happy when it's hard to the people that need to hear it and that's how it works.
And how he's blowing right now eh?
I think Ren is an actual Renaissance Man. A revolution and a revelation in one. The exploration of our dark and light traits, the struggle that it is just to live some days. All of these concepts resonate with a lot of people. I'd like to believe they would resonate with everyone, but people often embody the battle we have within ourselves. Both sides. I like that Ren addresses the sort of paradox that humans represent.
I just CAN'T! Mind blown! Absolute genius!
Ren's voice is beautiful!
You have so many songs I can listen to on repeat and never get sick of. Thank you for existing
Hearing Ren being played on Radio6 - Sick Boi yeaterday and The Hunger today!! Woooopwooop!!!! About frickin time!!!
the guy who makes some of Rens videos needs a big shoutout, respect to Samuel Perry-Falvey your a beast.
What the fuck. I went from never having heard of Ren, to UA-cam recommending I watch "Hi Ren" 8 days ago, to Ren now being one of my favorite artists of all time. Save some talent and charisma for the rest of us dude, jeez!
Yup
Heah, no such thing as genre's anymore!!!! Just Ren. That's all you need to listen to!!!!
If your not worldwide famous in the next year something is wrong. Your music is not just brilliant its vital for a lot of people. Real, Poinent, uplifting, essential. Will spread this around like a when I knife meets jam.
Hey Simon thanks so much
We're listening Ren's songs in Australia
@@ewaksiezyk hell yeah we are!
I'm listening in from the United States!
There are tibal elders in the middle east listening and being asked to react to HI REN, through an interpretor and they respect his genius and his message at the end.
There hasn’t been a talent like this in a generation. Jesus.
Nah, Jesus didn't have bars like this lad ☺
Agreed. Holy shit
@@p4fizzleThat's unfair mate. If you heard him spiting the 10 commandments over an old school reggae beat, you'd understand. The bit about coveting his neighbours wife while she's hanging the washing out, bro, it's fucking insane. Then the follow up, about bearing false witness on the husband to get him out the way? Hard. Jesus Christ is the rap poltergeist, his dad is a god, and his mum is a virgin apparently
😂😂😂😂 I've now got an image of Jesus standing next to a Jerk chicken stall and 10k sound system. SSounds like bars too 🙏🙏👌@@edforbes1563
You are a genuine genius. I absolutely adore your creative work and charisma. I am so glad that I found your music a couple of years ago. You never disappoint.
Thanku means a lot x
It's impossible not to love every single thing he does. Ren is full GODMODE, and is touching millions, perhaps billions. He has this beautiful, angelic energy that seems to emanate... Save this planet Ren, and then some of the people ....
I feel that with him too.. an angel 😇
It's amazing how someone's words, rhymes, feelings, prove that we are all one, I am you, you are me, we are all from the same breathe.
WOW, always loved Ren for his beautiful indie music and now he drops this. Amazing beat, lyricism and talent, defo one of my all time favourite artists. Keep killing it Ren.
Ah thank you so much
I recently had to pull myself out of a relapse I was clean for over ten years I almost lost myself to suicide after that never thought I'd ever see another rock bottom mentally your guys song chalk outlines and this one have been some of my saving grace songs and now i just can't get enough of your music!!! Between you and Chinchilla man would give anything to see yall perform especially when you guys are on the streets!! It's my favorite 😍 so thank you for being such a massive part of my mental recovery please don't ever stop!!! Much ❤️ !!
Mate, u HAVE to make a master-class. You are the most amazing musician I have ever come across. U talk about the things that are relatable, that help people, that everyone else is too scared to talk about. Keep making music.
Means a lot I think it’s important
@@RenMakesMusic Wow.... u reply to comments. That is awesome.
It is very important
Bro I just found u like wtf how old are u I need answers who is ur top 5 u got all the skills the only thing ur lacking is rapping with UFOs 😂
He has. I bet. Realism will get you more honest answers from reality than fake no-yes. Noyes noise
This is the most insane rap demonstration I have ever witnessed. Tech 9 to Eminem to NF to dax, I'm sorry but Ren is on another level altogether. And not to mention this beat is sick AF
Listen to Aesop Rock: The Impossible Kid album m.
Dont compare him tech and Eminem they are on a another level
@@toastwithoutbread Aesop Rock can be put on the same level as Em and Tech 9. His vocab and wordplay is unmatched.
It’s esoteric and can take a week to understand the whole meaning of just one song.
I am an old man and nothing makes happier than finding something totally out of my zone that blows me away. Thank you Ren for opening up a whole new world to me, I am so very grateful. Your body of work is remarkable in it's diversity and undeniable creativity. Beyond the greatness that flows thru you, you are also very easy to root for. I hope today finds you in good health and whatever your view of success may be, I sincerely hope you achieve it as it is well deserved. Much love to you.
ive been bedridden for 24 years and I can say Ren has got me through some very painful times like right now
Polly my thoughts and prayers are with you. Ren helps me get through every day❤
Prayers Polly. Glad you are still with is, we need you.
Ren deserves the Nobel prize for literature and poetry! He transcends popular culture & speaks from a place beyond the limits of time, trends & fads. I suppose it comes from that nonlinear place within sometimes called “Truth”? I’m grateful for his courage but concerned by it too. Too much truth historically invites tragedy. John Lennon, Tupac, MLK, Gandhi, Lincoln, JFK, you get the point. Anyway, thanks for sharing your divine gift of words with the world.
Deserves international awareness, sharing is caring in this day and age, collaboration efforts you make are wicked, would love to see you breeze through multiple genres. Hope your healing is progressing Ren, all the best man, from one chronic pain sufferer to another. One day no pain.
I've spent the last few days watching you and listening, hanging off every word . Brilliant talent and there's seems to a lot of it coming from Brighton.... mad love geezer ....as long as you keep producing, I'm gunna keep listening...
Thank you. Im paralyzed and stuck in the bed quite alot so your stuff really hits me in the heart. The world needs you, everything is broke..people are broke
I'm a 30 year guitar and piano player with perfect pitch. I use to do production for major artists. I was a guitar tech for multiple top bands. In all my life I have never seen someone so creative with their voice. How he integrates it with the music is next level. If society has any appreciation for talent Ren will be as big as Ed Sheeran.
This is my number one favorite artist of all time and I just discovered him. His talent is inhuman and hes so real and doesn’t even need to swear! It’s already too stimulating, its outgrown everything that rap thought was cool. Spiritual music.
I cannot stop watching reaction videos to all of your music, and I've never done that before. It took me a while to understand why. I usually watch a couple reacts to a song when it moves me, but it's like every single work of art moves me to the point where I want to relive that first time feeling of awe through others seeing it the first time whether they're bopping their heads uncontrollably or making that scrunched up face that people only make when they're feeling a super filthy beat, or whether they're jumping up and down at the sheer joy of what they just witnessed, or bawling their eyes out, or vibrating with an overwhelming feeling of hope or just silently sitting there in a stunned state of reverence or even introspection. I've had every one of those reactions at one point or another during my dive into your music, and I'm literally only about 8 songs in, but I have to stop at every one and find all the reactions I can before I move on. Anyway, you're not likely to see this, but if you do, as a 45 year old mother of a daughter in her 20s who has been through both physical & mental struggles all of her life, your music gives ME a sense of hope for her future. She's enjoying your music too, which seems to inexplicably defy age, gender, time, and genre. You're a once in a lifetime phenomenon & I'm here for it.
Admittedly I have specifically played 0:35-0:44 sooo many times. I love the different inflections of the voice, especially “for spirits to channel out of my lyrics-.” It’s cool when an artist can add that extra emotion on a specific word or line, and have fun with it.
This guys range is incredible and really speaks volumes
I less than a month i have found Ren and NF...amazing discoveries!
I'm 59. Music lover. I've seen and heard VERY few old souls in my lifetime. Ren, you have to be a reincarnated genius. You are channeling something on much higher frequency than Earth. ❤ You are a true gift.
Kid! You are fantastic!!!! A completely unbelievable artist! I'm just blown away. Heading over to Patreon.
Phenomenal Ren. Never knew Nas but I’m obsessed with this
I listen to metal 99% of the time, Ren you are that 1% I just can't stop creeping into my musical life, your amazing and I have so much respect for you!
This man is a vivid beacon of hope for modern music.
Poetic, artistic, unique, multi talented, brilliant 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Okayokayokay... I love everything about this, but purely speaking about the video.. 0:33 the physical transition from Monster to Winning Every Level that is visually marked as Ren and the camera pass on opposite sides of the steel bar? al;kdjga;ldkjg so good
Visual bars
This is still one of my favorites. There is just something about it and I don't know what it is.
You made this dutch white 45 year old, raised on country classical, rock, punk, grunge and pop woman fall for rap! The intelligence behind the lyrics and the challenge of understanding, the complexity of the cadances and non monotomus speech. It is addictive!
Omg Ren!!!! You are incredible ❤❤❤❤
I am going down the rabbit hole of your channel, and i am just left speechless by every video I watch of yours, music or you talking. thank you.
Old metal head here, been playing Ren solid for two weeks!
That was…truly, absurdly, badass. Everything about that song crushed.
Found this after hearing Knox Hill just kill a break down and reaction to this song.
Dude... like, the rhyme scheme switch up, the flow, the beats, the production... its like watching a Shaolin martial artist display several styles of kung fu with a level of precision that only a true master would know. Just like Sick Boi, it bangs. You are like the bowling ball that just hit the curve on the lane and about to hit the strike. Something big is coming for you, and I am here for it. I could go on and on about how good this song is, but I will respect your time, so you can make more and more bangers. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with the world!
Loved Knox Hill's break down ! Very detailed and he really appreciated the technicalities of this track
well said bro. Spot on.
Love this comment. So much excitement spreading for this song and this artist!
Knox Hill is so good at breaking shit down.
Update: This song had 20K views when I started going down the rabbit hole known as REN. I've been pushing this to everyone I know like a mother...Happy to see others are enjoying this as much as I am. 🤘....And people say reaction channels *hurt* an artist's music 🤨
Ren, you are such an inspiration. I'm also a 90's kid and grew up with rap, hip-hop, rnb and ofcourse then discovered rock, metal and all other genre's and just passion for music. Currently as an ambient artist I don't know where I'm going, but seeing you just do your thing really gets me flow.. I won't make a rhyme no xD I must resist. But this is all you and inspiring people. It was said I do the same so I'm so happy to find someone I can relate to on such a deep level I'd even call ''my tribe''. Your energy and creations helped me realize that I shouldn't keep my passion for other gengre's in me and do whatever I feel I need to create!!! Thank you for existing! So happy you've been strong and had a strong will to keep going (cptsd here...). Trully wish I could see you live or even just jam or vibe to your music in the same space. If it happens it happens though, I'm trully grateful that youtube has suggested your video Hi Ren to me.
I wish you much luck on your Journey and hope your Growth and development goes on the way that benefits you the most! You freaking deserve it brave Soul!!!!! *I'm not crying no..*
Much Love from a little country called S-LOVE-nia.
Nat
Fucking hell Ren you are fucking amazing. I'm 48 live in Perth Western Australia; I listen to a bit of hip hop (mostly older stuff; I'm pretty fussy and completely intolerant of all the bullshit that seems to have become the staple of artists in the genre (like guns, misogyny & all the boring cliche'd crap). The majority of my music feed is rock n roll, especially 90s stuff, but fortunately, because I had Harry Shotta, Akala and a couple of other British Hip Hop artists in my subscribe feed, your songs started popping up on my playlists and OMG what a blessing to have found you.
Your lyrics are incredible'; your flow is excellent; your composition is original and fresh and interesting and unexpected, which I love. I love artists who drop singing into their rapping and who aren't afraid of guitars - that you can do all of that, without having to rely on collabs or by using stock riffs composed and played by someone else - truely extraordinary. I think you are magical, inspirational and have talent unlike anything I've seen for a long time.
THANK YOU for sharing your music with us all I feel privileged to be able to call myself a fan. I've been sharing your stuff all on my socials man I think you are a star and although I wouldn't wish massive fame on anyone, I hope that you continue to be able to make your music and achieve a level of success that means you have absolute creative freedom and a healthy paycheck without any of the treachery and misery that the music industry can inflict on artists once they reach a level of popularity.
Stay true to you. You know how good you are - stay humble and (sorry its such a cliche) but keep it real. For real. lol
love the vocal work on this track.. not just the fast rapping, more the expression and style you put into some of the lines. Great work
Thanks man!!! I've got a new video premiering in 1 hour that I'm really excited for you to see, would mean alot if you joined me for the premier and give it a share if you like it! ua-cam.com/video/3Q6uCrpzbPY/v-deo.html
@@RenMakesMusic Mate I've been waiting for this for dayz.. notifications on, sat at my pc like a little fan girl right now haha... a bit strange for a 40 year guy lol
I'm 52 years young and I have always had a really deep passion for music of most genre.
Ren fuses all genres 2 form HIS own original sound. These days that 'originality' is rare 2 say the least. His lyrics are relevant and resonates these times we are all living out. His musical talents are on par with classical composers of old. Keep on,keeping on rocking Ren!!! LOVE,PEACE & RESPECT BROTHER!
Get this man some medicine because he's SICK AS F***!
I've been hooked on Ren's art (I won't call it music, because it's well beyond that) for the last several weeks. I can't stop!
The way he goes like into that dark high pitch is dope. His voice is the definition of our dark thoughts
Ten… i hope you know how amazing you are for sharing your life with the world. You have unknowingly gave a healing touch to many souls including myself. I think that just by speaking out loud about your physical and mental anguish you have helped others to better understand their issues, so with all my heart and soul thank you and may you find the light at the end of your suffering and enjoy everlastice peace in your mind 🫶
Get well Ren the world needs you. Much love from Tennessee..!
Unique,def future LEGEND,respect REN.
I' ve been waiting 20 years for someone who's more talented than eminem , I think i' ve just found him. Thank you for showing how beautiful, raw, honest, pure, artistic, poetic and authentic rap can be.
Umm killer mike and el-p have been doing it since the late 90s, if you don’t think killer mike should be a goat by now then you haven’t listened to killer mike. Jus saying
same here but wasnt waiting, just didnt expect it/this/ren, and not on this level...meteoric.
REN’s music is gloriously defined by his pristine gifted mind. Find it, Far beyond the norms of modern music. Inspired by you in ALL your trials and triumphs of your healing journeys. Music is truly therapeutic. Healing mindset’s energises as one. I’m nearly 50, dealt with over 4 decades of medical situations of my own since childhood. Stroke at 6, epilepsy intertwined with brain damage. Some days are better than others. My diagnosis’ never defined me. I, too… an inspiration. Always listened to 80’s rock. Today’s music sounds so bland. Yours is sincerely extraordinaire to my Haven’t came across music like yours ever in my lifeline of being alive. Listening to your music is uplifting, and extremely extraordinary beyond words can ever describe. Keep on shining brighter in billions of stars in the darkened night above. Thanks for believing in you.
not sure how I'm JUST discovering this today butttttt DAMNNN😮😮😮🤯🤯 thanks for sharing your gifts ren
2:03 i like how the guys in the background just started watching pals (:
Dude I’m so happy I found ur music. You are an extremely unique artist with the amount of passion,love, thought and creativity that goes into every song u release. Can’t wait for more art from u.
Thank you for it all ren
Me to ren is just amazing thinking about a life where I didn't find this guy is horrible lol
ren deserves way more followers than he has
found Ren from the luigi meme and im glad i discovered him through that as he deserves more recognition
FIRE, dude! F*cking hell. I was introduced to Ren by "Hi Ren," which is the greatest piece of performance art I've seen in ages. I can't believe your versatility, poetry, delivery of heart wrenching inner truths, melodies, ability to create emotion by manipulating the sounds on your guitar.....I haven't been able to get your music out of my mind. I've been waking up every day for the last week thinking about and feeling your art. I don't think I've ever been so moved by any one artist. You have my love and utmost respect. THANK YOU
Same!! I found Ren's music a few days ago and now I'm deep in that rabbit hole!! It's amazing!!
I'm a metalhead at heart, I don't know what you're doing to me but I love it
Ren is a tortured genius, and I truly hope he realizes his impact and love from around the world ✌️ ❤️
Can't decide which is my favourite between this song and Hi Ren... both are so good
Ok i loved ren before i heard him rap and now i love him even more
The way he sings ‘For spirits to channel out of my lyrics, I’m a rebel’ just hits me
That whole scheme is sick af for sure
Its fire dude. Every time I hear it. 🎉❤🥵
"Putting backy with the green roll a fatty dopamine starts flowing" best line in the whole song, the word play between dope and dopamine is literally seamlessly switching the sentence
I have never been so impressed with an artist! Amazing 🤩
I didn’t think you could amaze me like you did with Violet’s Tale again but this switch up of styles, lyricism, flow and bass is insane and pretty close to it 🔥👑
Wow thanku
I have to watch it 20 times to understand what's going on... the sound effects, your beatboxing, your words, the hole setting, your facial expression, your acting, your body control, your voice, woman in the back, also wondering wtf is going on, all that in a one shot video. You're awesome and it's a pleasure to hear your music!❤ THANK YOU SO MUCH
Ren is such a musical shapeshifter it’s mindblowing
That's so accurate!
Absolutely Brilliant. Blows my mind.
This brings out some memories! Always an instant classic that this Fella churns out!! I love how dynamic Ren's work is. It's rare that one song can fit 10 different situations, emotions, etc. Talent, TRUE RAW talent, is SO rare!! Thank you for making us feel heard, understood, and happy to be as strange as fuck!!
Aways, Take Care,
😅Aunt Amanda😂
This goes stupid hard. Ren on the scene producing nothing but straight hell fire
Went from didn't know him to top of my playlist.
Your music is brilliant ❤️
🔥🔥🔥
❤true❤
You had no business going this hard! That first flow switch gets me 🔥
I am floored at how talented you are. A friend just introduced me to your music and I love it, mate! 🙌🏼
The person in the green top in the background towards the end just looking on in awe...
Less than half a million views. But this track deserve millions. It will get there. I'm convinced.
Now 753K, in just one month... it's gaining traction,deservedly so.
I only found you the other week and I haven't listened to anyone else since! You're skills are masterful, you literally have a song for every playlist I've ever made!! You are so criminally underrated!!! You should be on every radio station!! You're story telling, your vocals, your ability on the strings, all masterful mate!! Keep rockin on man!! 🤟🤟🔥🔥
"But bleak, is the place, where I rose, to my feet....." still gives me goosebumps. This is a masterpiece.🔥
The talent this man has , it is beyond anything I have ever seen or heard in my 50 years. Not just this song but 99% of his songs/art/masterpieces.
I have no words for the connection I feel to this. I've got ten years on you but you've captured the vibe of my youth in the 90's in a way that absolutely floors me yet remains completely intangible, it's an elation that feels untethered. I love it. I'm enthralled and I appreciate your energy so much, it's therapeutic in a way I didn't realize I needed.
I am 70 years old into all types of music all my life
Ren is the most exciting all round talent I have ever seen.
What a beautiful human.
Just the music and the therapy this WORLD needs my man! this doesn't just hit one genre, or age group or, region of the world. 52 yr. old American heavy metal guy, Obviously found you through hi Ren But this is sick af!
