    At my graduation day, I was so nervous. My father sensed my anxiety, so he came behind me and whispered, "Son, embrace your future. I'm proud of you!". I turned around and... It was Ren.

      @@adjr93perhaps it’s as simple as wishing they could be in REN’s inner circle and given their own age compared to Ren being his child or his parent are the most logical fit? But it could also be a reflection of how many absolutely shit fathers there are in the world? I highly doubt there is a single person who has had an absolutely shit parent that hasn’t at some point day dreamed about what their life would be like if someone else were there parent instead.

Although I love his music (and Rap has never been my thing) I feel strangely connected, even though, as far as I'm aware I have no mental health issues to speak of. His message appears to resonate and help a lot of those that do struggle with life, and for that, I applaud the young man.

    What an amazing talent Ren has! I hate to call what he does music because it's just so much more than that. I've never seen an artist beloved by so many different cultures and communities. From tribal people in Africa that don't even understand the English language but feel with every thing in them exactly what Ren is conveying in "Hi Ren" to the 70 year old grandmother in nowhere Texas that has never listened to a rap song in her life, and now can't get enough of his music. Don't think there's ever been another artist like him.

      Thé breadth of his demographic is unbelievable . People in their 80’s , 70’s down to their teens all being impacted in a positive way by this artist .
