Been waiting a year+ for you guys to get on the REN train! So your in for a treat, Hi Ren is usually the first song people listen to, then they go down the rabbit hole and listen to him rap, sing rock music, reggae, blues and just about anything else you can mention. He plays guitar like a pro and the piano and the drums, he mixes his own sounds, beat boxes, loops & makes his own beats and 99% of the time, his music videos are done in one take and he is INDEPENDENT. His album Sick Boy got to number one in the UK last year, he has not done any concerts or live events but still managed to fight his way to that number one spot! He is currently in Canada getting treatment for his Lyme Disease and the issues caused by years of misdiagnosis and incorrect meds. He has a big heart, is extremely intelligent and is just an all-round lovely guy!
He doesn't have multiple personalities. He has that duality inside each one of us. The angel on one shoulder and the devil on the other. Self doubt vs faith. This is a masterpiece. He's a top notch musician and a top notch rapper. And plays the guitar and piano and makes his own beats. And produces. And does one take videos. The most versatile musician i've seen in my 54 years.
I cannot think of any artist remotely like Ren. Whenever he drops something new you KNOW that you will enjoy it, learn from it and say to yourself- I never experienced anything like that.
You are going to understand soon why obsessed fans flock to Ren reactions. We are addicted to watching people learn the depth of this man's talent and then be amazed by it. Looking forward. ❤
I love people's reactions to REN! He is a swiss army knife of talent. He's one of those artists that come around only once. His career is just starting... This fella is going to blow up! Enjoy the ride!
Ren has been through a lot in his life. When he was a teenager (and having just being 'discovered' whilst busking and signed by Sony) he got sick. Tried to work through it whilst being investigated by drs. But as months went by with no diagnoses, Ren and Sony had to part ways as he just was too ill to perform. At around the same time, Ren's best friend unalived himself by jumping off a bridge leaving Ren reeling. Months and years go by woth Ren getting worse but drs couldn't find a physical cause for his excruciating pain and fatigue so they decide it's all in his head and start medicating him accordingly. These make him worse and he ends up having full blown psychotic episodes. At his worst Ren was bedridden for 23hs a day, couldn't read/watch tv and could barely shower bc of the pain. But still they thought it was all in his head. This went on for around 10 years and Ren lost his '20s' as a result.He wrote Hi Ren at a time where he thought he didn't have long left in fact. But shortly after was finally diagnosed with Lyme's Disease (around 3 years ago) but as the disease was allowed to run rampant he now has brain damage and autoimmune conditions too (can only eat meat and a handful of types of veg for example). He moved to Calgary, Canada around a year ago temporarily while he is receiving specialist treatment which we all hope helps him. So as you can see, he's been through more than most, but what got him through all it all is music. While ill, he managed to write around 1000 songs and continues to write and perform today whilst in treatment. Sorry for the long comment, but just thought you'd appreciate a bit of background to this amazing guy. Many have suggested you do The Tale of Jenny and Screech (and Violet- full verion), which i second. However, make sure to listen carefully to what he sings and if you pause make sure to rewind. And please do not research it beforehand or you will spoil the ending. And like this performance, each tale is live and one take, something Ren is known for doing. I would also suggest Seven Sins, amazing song gives you a glimpse into what he went through (he does his own beats and produces too). Enjoy. Subbed.
Glad you checked out Ren! This guy is insane. Amazing story teller. His lyrics are next level. He can sing, plays multiple instruments, is an incredible rapper, and he writes and produces his own music and beats, etc... His new album recently got the #1 spot on the U.K. charts. He is 100% independent. You check out literally anything by him and you will be impressed!
Renegade here. Yhere is so much more...all great. Seven Sins is the opening track on his #1 album. Fred Again mashup wonderful. Crutch ft. Bibi was done in the height of his illness in 2015. Anything though.
Ren is a fascinating artist. He does his theatrical art pieces like this, but he also has plenty of mainstream structured songs. Music with beats and other instruments, blending multiple genres, rapping and singing... 🕳🐇
The rest of the Renegades are right behind me. Ren has a large back catalog and just put out a Fred Again Mashup that's fire. Everyone will have an opnion on what you should check out next but everything he does is great and every track is surprizing.
Yoooo RENagades in the house!!! Great reaction. Loved the shocked faces from you two at the begining. Welcome to rens rabbit hole. There's millions of us in here and we still haven't found a way out. You have only scratched the surface with him ren. New sub here from the UK for your ren journey. Much love guys and try the tale of Jenny and screech next....the full 13 minute video. If you thought this one was good. The tales will blow your mind completely. See you in your next ren reaction. Btw expect your subs to blow up. The RENagades are trickling in ;)
Ren is a great rapper, musician and instrumentalist. I suggest you watch another materpiece of his 'Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full)'. Then 'Sick Boi' and 'Money Game 1, 2 and 3'; the last money game is another masterpiece.
My fellow Renegades sent me here! Great reaction guys🔥 I have subbed for more Ren- have fun going down the rabbit hole, the catalogue of music is large and varied and it is well worth the Journey 🎵❤🎵
A lot of REN's story-telling stuff leaves you similar to "HI REN"; in awe, spent, and blowing a snot bubble into a tissue. If you want a feel-good banger that has a ton of heart, POWER slaps!
This was a ONE-shot, the landlord of the building gave them 30 mins to film and get out. I can't believe it took you so long to get around to REN, Reactors were going crazy all last year and still are, in fact, it was reactors and Ren working together all over UA-cam that helped get his music out there! I suggest for your next reaction, Sick Boy OR Chalk Outlines Ren & Chinchilla, the Live video!
After watching this performance over 1000 times, it is still the best feeling to see a new reactor appreciating the absolute Genius of Ren. He truly is a once-in-a-lifetime artist. His versatility and catalogue is also beyond words with over 200 Gems. Chalk Outlines with Chinchilla is one of the best duets ever. Subbed for the inevitable.
New sub here from Arizona, I'm here for any and all Ren reactions. As a 53 year old music lover my whole life, Ren has reconfigured my mind for the better and REN-EWED my heart & soul by making me really hear music for the 1st time in my life! Great reaction! 😊 what an amazing journey awaits you!
Welcome to the multitalented genius Ren. This masterpiece is just the tip of the iceberg. I trust that other RENegades will fill you in on his backstory and probably recommend Sick Boi for insight into his frustrations from being misdiagnosed for years. I will just add a suggestion to check out one of my personal favourites: Crutch feat. Bibi. It’s an older song from before Ren was finally correctly diagnosed and was written after a breakdown following multiple emergency trips to the hospital. It is heart wrenching and stunning. Also if you want to understand the man behind the art (and why we all love him so dearly), check out his 1m subscribers video on defining success. Ren is not just a brilliant artist but a genuinely good human being who wants to inspire positive change in the world. Hope to see you deep down the Ren rabbit hole with the rest of us 🐰🕳️
Welcome to Ren. He does every genre and style to a level that the best take notice. He never misses. He has no bad songs and every song is reaction gold. Welcome to Ren.
Welcome to the music of Ren. When and if you ever desire, feel free to call yourself a Renegade. Or if you are a member of another titled community we also welcome you and yours. Feel free to use that title.
Subbing for more Ren! Your life will never be the same again. He is incredible and us Renegades are the biggest supporters of everyone. Here’s some info for you. 🖤 🔥🔥🔥 .Welcome to the Renaissance! Ren is my favourite artist of all time. I say artist because he is a multifaceted diamond! From singing (all styles) to rapping (bars/flows/schemes for days), Bardcore (story telling) beatbox, makes his own beats, scatting and a multi instrumentalist (guitars, bass, drums, melodica and more). On top of that he is the most beautiful human being inside and out who has been through and continues to go through absolute hell. Ren is 33 from Anglesey, Wales originally but spent most his life in Brighton, England. He has been very ill for years, at one point being completely bed ridden. He was misdiagnosed for years, being told he was bipolar, had M.E and more and was prescribed medications that made him worse and ended up in psychosis. It turns out Ren had Lyme disease which has caused havoc on his body. He’s been living in Calgary, Canada all year receiving intense medical treatment for his brain damage and mast cell activation disorder amongst other things that were caused by the Lyme disease. He started off making beats at 12 and selling CDs then moved on to busking. He was part of a band called Trick The Fox and was signed to Sony but they didn’t renew the contract after his health deteriorated. He then started The Big Push. They went on hiatus the end of last year after 5 years partly due to his move to Canada and also because the other members are also soloists and were moving around too. I have a list of songs to check out of all styles. Obviously this is no where near everything but gives you places to start. 🖤 Ren songs in best order to watch them (although there isn’t a specific order technically, this is a good way to go) 📚Serious/storytelling📚 Hi Ren The Tale of Jenny and Screech (full) SickBoi Chalk outlines live How to be me live Suic*de For Joe Money Game 1, 2, 3 🎤Showing off his rap etc talent🎤 Losing it The hunger Power Illest of our time Genesis Genesis acoustic Murderer Murderer acoustic Animal flow Animal flow acoustic what you want (beastie boys homage) 🎸The big push 🎸 I shot the sheriff/ road to Zion/ hip hop Wade in the water/ Nina Simone/ trouble so hard Englishman in New York live Swan song Watch out (red suspenders) Sweet little lady Sweet little lady live Why my woman?

Amen brother. What a rabbit hole! Welcome to the world of Ren. Honestly, this guy is beyond words, Beyond description, beyond what he has fought through all his life I believe you will truly feel the gravity of life as it is as you pursue more Ren. Absolutely spot on reaction. You grasped the Basic Essentials removing On To The Next Step of Ren and life. I just subscribed. Thank you for this reaction
Welcome to the world of Ren. Really enjoyed your reaction. Subbed. Ren is such a phenomenal artist and human being. It's a long way down the Rabbithole Alice. Up next recommend: The Hunger or Illest of Our Time for some rapping or in a completely different direction: I Shot the Sheriff/ Road to Zion/Hip Hop Mash up on the Big Push Channel (red suspenders version), or The Tales (Tales of Jenny & Screech- all 3 videos in one video), and definitely Money Game 1, 2 & 3. Can't leave that out. I could go on, but then I'd just be recommending every single song. Not necessarily for reaction, but recommend the 1Million Subscribers video and the Zach Sang Interview. There's SO MUCH MORE, but that's a good start. Looking forward to sharing your journey down the rabbithole. Thank you! 💛
Oh I've been watching your channel for awhile but am so excited your going to do Ren! Go down the rabbit hole boys and buckle up. He is extremely talented and does most his videos live in one shot. I'm sure someone in the comments is going to explain his health situation to you guys. Trust me I have a whole playlist you can go down. Do "the tale of Jenny and screetch and violet" next it's the 13 minute trilogy. Then The hunger Genesis Chalk outlines with chinchilla live version Money game part one two and three. I could go on lol he also has a band called "the big push" they have busking videos that are insanely great. Tey "I shot the sheriff" first... that one will get you lol they are all pretty great. This man can sing and rap and play guitar and piano and make all his own beats. He deserves all the recognition he has been getting lately
There is so much more where that came from - so glad you found Ren! Really recommend 'Money Game 1, 2 (be sure to get the lyric video). and 3. Also Sick Boi, Chalk Outlines, and Seven Sins. So many to chose from and each one is unique. No one else like Ren in music today (and I mean that literally). Welcome to the Ren Rabbit hole!
Lovely to watch you fall into the Ren rabbit hole! 😁Subbed for your journey! Envious of you discovering so much great music for the first time!! I’m sure you’ll get lots of song suggestions but I recommend you watch Sick Boi next. Also, to get to know Ren a bit, I really recommend watching his 5 minute thank you speech for getting one million subscribers called Defining Success
New sub guys, for Ren…….you are entering the Ren rabbit hole and it’s deep…..always amazing always surprising ….the Trilogy is usually the next stop….. 🔥🔥🔥
If you do the tales of Jenny and screech make sure you do the full version trilogy Jenny screech and finally violet's tale in that order otherwise it won't make sense great reaction btw... welcome to the Ren rollercoaster enjoy the ride ✌️
❤❤❤❤ ren will add a special touch to both your lives i promise you that :) renegade community will always help answer any questions about songs or help understand ren himself in all his humble glory lol or be happy to recommend some amazing artists that we have come to truly enjoy . These people in this community are amazing and i cant wait to see not only your reactions to further ren songs but see more of them show yall love and support❤
Great reaction! It’s so exciting to watch people see Ren for the first time! There’s so much more for you to discover. Enjoy the roller coaster ride that is Ren!Subbed for more Ren. ☮️❤️😎
Welcome to the wonderful world of all things Ren related! You guys are in for one heck of a ride! He is honestly the best artist I’ve heard in generations!
Welcome friends ❤ the Reneffect is real. Rens managed to accumalate a following of magnificent, kinda broken human beings ... we all have kind hearts. Subbed in the hope you will deep dive into the wonderland that is ❤ much love from somewhere nr Liverpool U.K
Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole. I loved your reaction. I, and I suspect many other Renegades, will be following your journey into this amazing warren(subbed).
Thanks a lot guys! Thanks for this great reaction! I've been waiting to see you guys react to Ren because I know you are going to enjoy this trip. I look forward to seeing more of your reactions and seeing you go from amazement to laughter and a tear or two. Here's another new subscriber! Let's keep discovering the rabbit hole together! Big love ❤
welcome new RENegades - what a journey you are about to embark on, Ren writes all his own lyrics, raps, beats, plays instruments, directs 1 take videos', the whole lot, he really is a genius.
When you consider what this young man has endured and been able to accomplish....He has more of "it" in his little finger than I have in my whole body.
The more of his material you watch/hear, the deeper you go into the Rabbit hole...and it's (thankfully) vast. Musician, lyricist, rapper, singer, performer...there's no-one else that comes close
This is the kind of artistry that gives "broken" people hope. Ren, through this performance piece, has become to a lot of people exactly what he stated in the song, "...the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope". So powerful, so impactful. Even the song structure itself is incredible. It starts off as a battle between his positive (Angel) and negative (Demon) aspects, the negative then makes an overpowering last ditch effort to reign supreme, tearing free and trying to take control, but ultimately fails as the final act, being the "God" aspect, emerges Triumphant, though still acknowledging and accepting that it will ALWAYS be a battle because we are all "a coin with 2 different sides". It's a beautifully cathartic and raw musical masterpiece. Ren is truly special. Welcome to the Ren rabbit-hole, it's a trip worth taking. This was the 4th take he did and yes, it was done live. Wait until you hear some of his other stuff, especially his storytelling ("The Tale of Jenny & Screech"). You haven't even touched the breadth of this young man's talent yet. The pig character (imo) represents the doctors and therapist who have essentially butchered him for years through their misdiagnosis. It's the system that focuses on peddling more pills than on genuinely trying to help to fix broken/ill people, caring more about profit than individual health. The bastardization of the hippocratic oath. He literally thought he was going insane because he was told repeatedly that the pain and symptoms he was experiencing were all in his head (psychosomatic). He had reached a point where he literally resigned himself to dying before he reached 30. Turns out he had Lyme's disease the whole time and it ran rampant through his system for 10 years, even to the point of causing brain damage. Ironically, if Ren hadn't gone through what he has, would he have ever made the art he has? There's no question that his suffering has shaped his music and now he's finally getting the recognition he undoubtedly deserves. I've said it before, I'll say it again, Ren is special.
Welcome to the RENegades 😁 I've got a playlist of Hi Ren reactions & we recently celebrated the 1000th video. Your reaction is currently #1073 but there may be more that came before.
He sings, raps, plays every instrument, he can do any genre and I mean any. He can do a mash up of 5 edm tracks and turn them into one gorgeous acoustic piece of art not only that he's the one take god
The next ones should be The Tale of Jenny&Screech(Full version),Losing it,Genesis,Hunger,Animal Flow,Murderer,Love Music(1,2,3 and 4),Money Game(Series),I shot the Sheriff(Street Performance),War Pigs(Street Performance)Lost all Faith,Mashochist,Down on the Beat,Suicide,For Joe,Uninvited,Englishman in New York(Cover)and many more.
Welcome to the world of Ren, he's utterly unique, multi-talented and can do all types of music. This was live, one take (he does most of his videos like that). He was misdiagnosed, he actually has lime disease, and really stuggles with his health. You should check out Money Game 1, 2 and 3. Chalk outlines, For Joe (there's so much more I could list). Also check out the videos of him busking (live street performances) with his band The Big Push. Check out I shot the sheriff, War Pigs and him and Sam Tomkinson (another epic artist) doing It's a man's world etc. Enjoy!
Get ready to be Impressed by this Artist truly genuine and Talented 🔥🔥🔥. Music needed Ren to show how it's done Musicianship and Lyrics that make your jaw drop and heart swell.. Dive into the Reniverse all different all 🔥. ✌️♥️🏴.
I'm 95% soulfunk (no rap) since 1980 👴🏼 until I found Tom MacDonald 3 yrs ago... 💥💪🏼 1yr ago,found Ren💥💪🏼 🤯 Both are favorites since. Haven't bought CDs for years. I buy these guys' CDs. So when internet crashes and everything is illegal...I still have Tom&Ren. ☝🏼✨🧠✨
❤❤❤ SUBSCRIBED FOR MORE REN❤❤❤ WATCH FOR US your channel is going to flood with more love than you could imagine well maybe!! 😊 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR REACTING TO OUR GUY REN! I don't have to explain much bc all my fellow RENegades will! Great reaction keep reacting to Ren and I promise you your life will change and your heart will blossom! You will get hundreds of suggested songs bc his catalog is HUGE. All amazing I would suggest to just go to his page and click on whatever song stands out to you!!!

Been waiting a year+ for you guys to get on the REN train!

He has a big heart, is extremely intelligent and is just an all-round lovely guy!
So well said.
Second that!
Absolutely love your description ❤️ ❤❤
Love the way you said that
He doesn't have multiple personalities. He has that duality inside each one of us. The angel on one shoulder and the devil on the other. Self doubt vs faith. This is a masterpiece. He's a top notch musician and a top notch rapper. And plays the guitar and piano and makes his own beats. And produces. And does one take videos. The most versatile musician i've seen in my 54 years.

you can't go wrong with Ren or his band The Big Push.
Buckle up... you just touched the 3rd rail and notified all the Renegades. Ready or not... here we come.
The Tales of Jenny and Screech, its a 13 min trilogy thats frickin awesome. Chalk Outlines the live version and the Hunger
You know it's illegal for great reactors to stop at Hi Ren, right? 😸
Great job!
Much love,
From STHLM, Sweden

Welcome to the music of Ren. When and if you ever desire, feel free to call yourself a Renegade. Or if you are a member of another titled community we also welcome you and yours. Feel free to use that title.
Barely now coming 'round to Ren? Welcome! Can't wait to see your next one. MORE REN, please!
I’ve never seen you two so transfixed watching something. You’re going to get snowed under with suggestions, enjoy the ride
This was insanely amazing 😎😎
Subbing for more Ren! Your life will never be the same again. He is incredible and us Renegades are the biggest supporters of everyone. Here’s some info for you. 🖤
🔥🔥🔥
.Welcome to the Renaissance! Ren is my favourite artist of all time. I say artist because he is a multifaceted diamond! From singing (all styles) to rapping (bars/flows/schemes for days), Bardcore (story telling) beatbox, makes his own beats, scatting and a multi instrumentalist (guitars, bass, drums, melodica and more). On top of that he is the most beautiful human being inside and out who has been through and continues to go through absolute hell.
Ren is 33 from Anglesey, Wales originally but spent most his life in Brighton, England. He has been very ill for years, at one point being completely bed ridden. He was misdiagnosed for years, being told he was bipolar, had M.E and more and was prescribed medications that made him worse and ended up in psychosis. It turns out Ren had Lyme disease which has caused havoc on his body. He’s been living in Calgary, Canada all year receiving intense medical treatment for his brain damage and mast cell activation disorder amongst other things that were caused by the Lyme disease.
He started off making beats at 12 and selling CDs then moved on to busking. He was part of a band called Trick The Fox and was signed to Sony but they didn’t renew the contract after his health deteriorated. He then started The Big Push. They went on hiatus the end of last year after 5 years partly due to his move to Canada and also because the other members are also soloists and were moving around too.
I have a list of songs to check out of all styles. Obviously this is no where near everything but gives you places to start. 🖤

@@debrashrider4062 aww thank you! I’m a little bit passionate (read : obsessed) 🤣🖤
Amen brother. What a rabbit hole! Welcome to the world of Ren. Honestly, this guy is beyond words, Beyond description, beyond what he has fought through all his life I believe you will truly feel the gravity of life as it is as you pursue more Ren. Absolutely spot on reaction. You grasped the Basic Essentials removing On To The Next Step of Ren and life. I just subscribed. Thank you for this reaction
Well said! We are strapping in😎😎
I just subscribed just to watch you go down the rabbit hole. Really good reaction guys.
Welcome to the world of Ren.
Really enjoyed your reaction. Subbed. Ren is such a phenomenal artist and human being. It's a long way down the Rabbithole Alice.
Up next recommend: The Hunger or Illest of Our Time for some rapping or in a completely different direction: I Shot the Sheriff/ Road to Zion/Hip Hop Mash up on the Big Push Channel (red suspenders version), or The Tales (Tales of Jenny & Screech- all 3 videos in one video), and definitely Money Game 1, 2 & 3. Can't leave that out. I could go on, but then I'd just be recommending every single song.
Not necessarily for reaction, but recommend the 1Million Subscribers video and the Zach Sang Interview. There's SO MUCH MORE, but that's a good start.
Looking forward to sharing your journey down the rabbithole. Thank you! 💛
Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole..enjoy the ride
Thanks! Will do!😎😎
The world of Ren.. Welcome newbies. Your so welcome to our world. Enjoy the rabbit hole 🕳.
You're gonna love it.!!!
Subscribed for more Ren reactions please ❤❤❤
Oh I've been watching your channel for awhile but am so excited your going to do Ren! Go down the rabbit hole boys and buckle up. He is extremely talented and does most his videos live in one shot. I'm sure someone in the comments is going to explain his health situation to you guys. Trust me I have a whole playlist you can go down. Do "the tale of Jenny and screetch and violet" next it's the 13 minute trilogy. Then
The hunger
Genesis
Chalk outlines with chinchilla live version
Money game part one two and three. I could go on lol he also has a band called "the big push" they have busking videos that are insanely great. Tey "I shot the sheriff" first... that one will get you lol they are all pretty great. This man can sing and rap and play guitar and piano and make all his own beats. He deserves all the recognition he has been getting lately
There is so much more where that came from - so glad you found Ren! Really recommend 'Money Game 1, 2 (be sure to get the lyric video). and 3. Also Sick Boi, Chalk Outlines, and Seven Sins. So many to chose from and each one is unique. No one else like Ren in music today (and I mean that literally). Welcome to the Ren Rabbit hole!
Lovely to watch you fall into the Ren rabbit hole! 😁Subbed for your journey! Envious of you discovering so much great music for the first time!! I’m sure you’ll get lots of song suggestions but I recommend you watch Sick Boi next. Also, to get to know Ren a bit, I really recommend watching his 5 minute thank you speech for getting one million subscribers called Defining Success
Thank you! Will do!😎😎
New sub guys, for Ren…….you are entering the Ren rabbit hole and it’s deep…..always amazing always surprising ….the Trilogy is usually the next stop….. 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks and welcome😎😎
Yes you've found Ren 😮have fun going down the hole😂
If you do the tales of Jenny and screech make sure you do the full version trilogy Jenny screech and finally violet's tale in that order otherwise it won't make sense great reaction btw... welcome to the Ren rollercoaster enjoy the ride ✌️

Welcome to the Renaverse. Buckle up. Renegades will guide you.
You got a ton of Renegades loving your reaction!!! The Tales of Jenny and Screech are my recommendation. Super reaction guys!!
And he did this live. Yeah, he's special.
Finallyyy 😊😊😊❤❤❤❤ NEXT: Sick Boi
welcome new RENegades - what a journey you are about to embark on, Ren writes all his own lyrics, raps, beats, plays instruments, directs 1 take videos', the whole lot, he really is a genius.
The Ren rabbit hole is a deep one. The renegades love it when someone new falls into this hole with us.
When you consider what this young man has endured and been able to accomplish....He has more of "it" in his little finger than I have in my whole body.
Great reaction ❤ You definitely need to do more Ren reactions.
More to come!😎😎
The more of his material you watch/hear, the deeper you go into the Rabbit hole...and it's (thankfully) vast. Musician, lyricist, rapper, singer, performer...there's no-one else that comes close
Enjoyed, subbed and commented for more Ren 😊 #Renegades
Awesome! Thank you!😎😎
Your reaction is fantastic and in the end there are no words because it’s so POWERFUL 🙏🇬🇧🇺🇸
Haven't seen you guys for ages ! ❤
This is the kind of artistry that gives "broken" people hope. Ren, through this performance piece, has become to a lot of people exactly what he stated in the song, "...the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope". So powerful, so impactful. Even the song structure itself is incredible. It starts off as a battle between his positive (Angel) and negative (Demon) aspects, the negative then makes an overpowering last ditch effort to reign supreme, tearing free and trying to take control, but ultimately fails as the final act, being the "God" aspect, emerges Triumphant, though still acknowledging and accepting that it will ALWAYS be a battle because we are all "a coin with 2 different sides". It's a beautifully cathartic and raw musical masterpiece. Ren is truly special. Welcome to the Ren rabbit-hole, it's a trip worth taking. This was the 4th take he did and yes, it was done live. Wait until you hear some of his other stuff, especially his storytelling ("The Tale of Jenny & Screech"). You haven't even touched the breadth of this young man's talent yet.
The pig character (imo) represents the doctors and therapist who have essentially butchered him for years through their misdiagnosis. It's the system that focuses on peddling more pills than on genuinely trying to help to fix broken/ill people, caring more about profit than individual health. The bastardization of the hippocratic oath. He literally thought he was going insane because he was told repeatedly that the pain and symptoms he was experiencing were all in his head (psychosomatic). He had reached a point where he literally resigned himself to dying before he reached 30. Turns out he had Lyme's disease the whole time and it ran rampant through his system for 10 years, even to the point of causing brain damage. Ironically, if Ren hadn't gone through what he has, would he have ever made the art he has? There's no question that his suffering has shaped his music and now he's finally getting the recognition he undoubtedly deserves. I've said it before, I'll say it again, Ren is special.
Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole. Please enjoy your stay....
Wonderful reaction. I’ll see how you like Jenny and Screech. Oh, it gets even deeper after that. Hang on and enjoy!
He does EVERYTHING! Please check out more REN and his band THE BIG PUSH!
I habe been waiting for about a year for y'all tonreact to Rens music. He is an absolute legend ❤❤
Welcome to the RENegades 😁 I've got a playlist of Hi Ren reactions & we recently celebrated the 1000th video. Your reaction is currently #1073 but there may be more that came before.

Welcome to the world of Ren, he's utterly unique, multi-talented and can do all types of music. This was live, one take (he does most of his videos like that). He was misdiagnosed, he actually has lime disease, and really stuggles with his health. You should check out Money Game 1, 2 and 3. Chalk outlines, For Joe (there's so much more I could list). Also check out the videos of him busking (live street performances) with his band The Big Push. Check out I shot the sheriff, War Pigs and him and Sam Tomkinson (another epic artist) doing It's a man's world etc. Enjoy!
Get ready to be Impressed by this Artist truly genuine and Talented 🔥🔥🔥.
