Renegade here! Little info about Ren that I post on every new to his work reactor! He is self taught on piano and guitar independent artist . With ONE MILLION SUBSCRIBERS - Defining success video you can see what kind of person Ren is. He fights with health issues from age of 19 (he is 34 now) and for the first 7 years doctors misdiagnosed and treat him with all kind of pills that he doesn't need for bipolar and other mental problems, while the whole time he has Lyme disease, when he finds out that he has Lyme after those 7 years, he already had big damage to his body and develop autoimmune diseases because his Lyme hasn't been diagnosed and treated for years! He is trying to fix his body even now! With his song "Troubles'' you can learn more about a part of his journey. With his work he brings messages to the people and he is trying to make the world a better place!!!🙂
Thanks for sharing! I love how Ren’s story shows his strength despite everything he’s gone through. It’s amazing how he uses his platform to make a difference and inspire others!
Congratulations on taking your first step into the world of Ren. I'm 62 yrs old and Ren is one of the most important artists of our time, think Prince. Renegades will guide you on what to react to next. I envy your journey, listening to people react to Ren brings back our first listen experiences. Good heart felt reaction.
Mate u are on the same page as me, im a huge Prince fan and can really see the comparison, lyrically, musically and the upmost dedication to his art. Im soo glad to of found Ren to fill the void that has been left since Prince left us and boy he hasn’t disappointed
Always nice to find new reactors to this true GENIUS & beautiful human being. Liked & subscribed in anticipation of you reacting to more Ren. Cheers pal 🍻😀
I assure you, that if you do more Ren, the Renegades, like me, will come flowing to your channel. I'm also a Nightwish warriror, but more than anything I'm a total Renegade. we are a passionate group. I am obsessed with Ren, and Ren reactions.
I'm pretty sure renegade is showing up. At start of video he said he hit 1k subscribers 10 days later over 2k. We love spreading the love. Welcome to the book club
Ren to me, is a book with a blank cover. Open the book and the pages transport you to a time, place and emotion of Rens choosing. I'm just an old fart, but Ren has touched and helped me these last couple years. God bless and keep Ren among us, we need him
I love how you describe Ren’s music like a book-each song takes you to a new place and feeling. It’s amazing how much his work has helped you, and it’s clear we’re lucky to have him. God bless Ren, we definitely need him!
I saw you have a Jungle playlist... i would strongly recommend watching Ren's Back on 74 /Message in a Bottle Retake. He is really a fantastic artist worth the journey... inspirational.
Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole . Since stumbling upon his music some four or five months ago , I’ve been captivated and have not been able to stop listening. Ren is a genius that has connected with millions who can relate . The renegades will fill you in with all you need to know. He can do everything and fits into no one genre. It’s going to blow your mind. Watching reactors like you gives us a chance to relive the moment of hearing these songs for the very first time. For singing check out - Murderer live Fred again Chalk outlines How to be me MC sessions blind eyed And his band the big push red suspender series “I shot the sheriff” For rap - Bittersweet symphony Hunger Naz retake illest of our time Genesis Murderer Animal flow For anti greed - Money Game 1,2 and 3 Story telling - take of Jenny and screech full including violets tale Suicide Masochist There are so many !!!🤪 But money game 1,2 and 3 in a row will blow your mind. He’s won awards for that series. He just did a couple recent ones - money ties and kujo beat down . Look for his 30 minute video explaining the huge debacle between Kujo and himself. He goes off in the Kujo beat down. He lets the dark side out , which we rarely if ever get to see . Oh and a new one he just released “slaughterhouse” Cheers from 🇨🇦🍻
Renegades search out new Ren reactors this song. It is the way most of us were introduced to his music.Ren staeted with the guitar at 10 and was making beats at 12. He was born and raised in Wales,UK moved to Bath for university at.19. He was discovered busking there and signed by Sony but his health started faling badly, and he could not continue. He then spent most of his time bedridden, misdiagnosed with Bipolar dpression and the ME/CFS from 19 to 26. Finally, though his own efforts found a doctor to correctly diagnose him with Lyme disease, and autoimmunity due to the damage caused by the disease being untreated fo so long. Throughout this time ,music was his therapy, and he has a huge backlog of lyrically genius songs. A stem cell transplant helped him recover enough to rejoin life. Known as a busking musician in Brighton,UK he had collaborated with Sam Tompkins, The Big Push band and produced his own work independently. Recommend Sick Boi next and then some singing, Chalk Outlines live with Chinchilla would be wonderful. Ren is the consumate artist who crosses all genres and has founded new genres including bardcore and diss theater. He's had a remarkable #1 album called Sick Boi. Now releasing his 3rd album called Slaughterhouse Even more importantly, Ren is the voice of the voiceless, who have been silenced by chronic illness, pain and mental illness. He's truly a beautiful soul. He's 34 now and still plagued by Lyme and autoimmunity, pulling himself out of a recent 2 month relapse. He will be seeking new treatment in January. I will pist your link in the fan club. Looking firward to more Ren please. Thank you for reacting to our Boi.❤
Thanks for the awesome comment! I love how you shared Ren's story-it's so inspiring. I’ve only heard Hi Ren so far, but after reading this, I’m definitely curious to check out Sick Boi and the other songs you mentioned. It’s amazing what he’s been through and how he uses his music to help others. I’m looking forward to hearing more from him! Appreciate you sharing all of this!
Francis I knew that was you posting before seeing your name. You are always on point with REN’s story. Thanks for taking the time to let new REN reactors into his world. ❤️
Ren was signed by Sony when he was busking but his health went south about then with lymes disease( which was misdiagnosed for next 10 yrs. It ravaged his brain and body. There has been no cure for him yet. He was in remission for couple months and then relapsed . No one has a cure or correct treatment plan for him. Unfortunately the side effects of the treatment were horrendous and he had to stop. He has his good and bad days in severe pain. His platform is to share his story in the hopes people suffering with autoimmune diseases etc and ones undiagnosed or properly know there're not the only ones hidden. He will never penalize reactors for sharing his stuff. He wants others to share his stuff amd his health journey. We Renagades are an odd assortment of fans😂. Young old sick very healthy. We love Ren and support him and others all on his platform. Etc etc. Please go whatever route you wish, but we can help navigate if you ask. 😂❤
Ren - musician , wordsmith and creative genius ! There is SO much more for you to discover - whether it be his wonderful solo works like " The Tale of Jenny & Screech ( Parts 1,2 & 3 ) - his collaborations with artists like Chinchilla in songs such as " Chalk Outlines " or on a lighter note his " busking " videos with The Big Push where they do some unbelievably great covers . Enjoy the journey - it's worth the fare !
Welcome to the “World of Ren”. Have fun! I envy you being able to discover such an amazing artist for the first time, we’ll all be here with you. You’ll see 😉
Welcome to the multitalented genius Ren! ❤️ This masterpiece is just the tip of the iceberg. Ren is a relatable voice for everyone dancing in the darkness as he eloquently, with all the authenticity of someone who is painfully familiar with it, lets us know that we are not alone and inspires us to keep dancing. And in doing so, Ren has literally saved lives with his art. Other Renegades will probably recommend songs like Sick Boi and Troubles for insight into his story with illness and years of misdiagnosis. I will just add a suggestion to check out one of my personal favourites that doesn’t get nearly as much attention as it deserves: Crutch feat. Bibi. It’s an older song from before Ren was finally correctly diagnosed with Lyme disease and was written after a breakdown following multiple emergency trips to the hospital. A little help to guide you on your journey: - For the trilogy of tales, react to the 13 minute video “The Tale of Jenny and Screech”. It contains all 3 in the correct order. - Check out the following in order of release: Freckled Angels -> Suic!de -> For Joe. It makes the last performance even more special. - Watch the 35 minute video explaining why Sick Boi is down for context before checking out Kujo Beat Down. - When you get to the Money Game trilogy, watch the lyric video for part 2. 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. Hope to see you deep down the Ren rabbit hole with the rest of us 🐰🕳️🖤
Sorry to abuse the comment section, but can we just remind ourselves that this young man named Ren took his experiencing a crippling disease and the despair of that, and his experiencing the suicides of two close friends, and channeled that into a hopeful message that has been heard by millions around the world, touched hearts, provided comfort, inspired, and even saved untold number of lives. And all throughout communicating to and interacting with his followers in a most generous, vulnerable, authentic, passionate, humble, and loving manner. It is special, what Ren has done. There is no precedent in pop-culture, really. Nothing I can think of. Nothing as direct and directly impactful, nothing as deliberate.
You’re spot on. Ren has turned his struggles into something powerful-music that inspires and comforts so many. His genuine connection with fans makes what he’s done really special and unique. Can't wait to listen to more!
I just saw your Hi Ren reaction, and put this journal entry of Ren's as my comment to that reaction. ~~~~~~jAN 01, 202~~rEN~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Up until I was 9 years old, I would intermittently hear a voice in my head that was not my own. The voice was distinctly different to mine, and always negative. It would self criticize or urge me to do things I knew to be morally wrong. The most peculiar thing about the voice was that it took no effort on my behalf to produce. My own thoughts always felt like there was a process that required effort to bring them to the forefront of my mind, this voice appeared as though it was spoken by another. The sentences felt predetermined like they had already been constructed. I remember very vividly at 9 years old, becoming very frustrated with the voice. I stood in my back yard, internally screaming at the voice to be silent again and again, and it did. In a flash there was silence, to the point where my head felt like an empty room. I wasn't used to the quiet and that voice never returned. It almost felt lonely in my head. When I got older I had intermittent bouts with auditory hallucinations where I would hear perfect symphonies, usually at night when drifting off to sleep. They were so clear that they sounded like they were emanating from a radio in the corner of my room. I knew they weren't there, but for some reason they never came with the feeling of fear. I also recall sitting on a bus at the age of 15, and hearing the sound of a crowded room, with about 100 voices chattering away, I was the only person apart from the driver on the bus. These experiences were always very brief, and few and far between. My last hallucination was during an intense bout of psychosis in 2015, and was my first visual hallucination. I was walking down a pavement after jumping out my mums car in a crossroads in a moment of frustration and distress with my condition. I was trying to run from myself. What appeared to be a homeless man with a dark complexion approached me, and asked me what was wrong. I explained that I had been sick most my life, and I wasn't sure I had the strength to continue. He looked at me, and smiled and told me 'everything is going to be okay in the end Ren.' I had not told him my name. There was something so overpoweringly sincere about this very simple message, which brought with it an overwhelming feeling of inner peace, and in a flash, he vanished. My rational brain always linked these experiences to what the doctors have told me, that there are parts of my brain compromised by the autoimmunity in my body. That the myelin sheaths surrounding the complex electrical system that conduct my thoughts were damaged and compromised, causing these lucid experiences that I knew did not exist inside the physical world. The part of me that edges away from logical and rational thought always attributed these thoughts to some kind of otherworldly intervention, that made my thoughts the battleground of some spiritual tug of war. For a long time I never really acknowledged this part of myself, for with it brought the danger and stigma of sounding like a crazy person. I decided with my latest release, to the best of my ability, to capture and express this chess match of thought. Hi Ren comes out in just over 24 hours. I can't wait for you all to hear it.
Wow, this journal entry really gives you a deep look into Ren’s mind and the struggles he’s faced. It’s incredibly brave of him to share such personal experiences with his audience. The way he describes his battles with the voice in his head, the hallucinations, and the spiritual tug-of-war is so raw and relatable. It’s clear that his music is not just about entertainment, but a way for him to process and express these complex thoughts. It’s amazing how much vulnerability he brings to his art.
I guess my Nightwish and The Warning gave your channel a boost.👍 Ren should generate views and get you some subs. Hi Ren" is a conversation with his mental health (and physical), and how he learns to balance rather than battle it. He creates awareness for and conversation about mental health.
❤❤❤ Subbed for more Ren!!! Floor Jansen is my fav female singer and now you found my fav Male Artist of all time! Ren is a once in a lifetime talent. Multi-genre, multi-instrumentalist, producer, director, Bard, and extremely super & inspiring human being.
You have no idea the musical talent you've just found. This man is made of music. He's the best artist of this time. Your mind will be blown by the stuff he does. I'd suggest Sick Boi as a follow up. It's a very different style of song, but it's more of his personal story.
You didn't know you needed this. Like everyone of us. Please watch "Sick Boi", "Chalk Outlines", "The Tale of Jenny and Screech", etc. I guarantee you you've never seen anything like this before. Big love from Germany 💜💜💜
I hope you continue your Ren journey. His music is more eclectic than you can possibly imagine. I saw you reacted to Jungle - Back on 74, Ren actually made a Back on 74 Retake with Message in a Bottle. It's amazing and will show you yet another side of his beautiful talent.
❤ Ren …. Absolutely obsessed for 3 years ❤. The musical discovery of my lifetime….. His humanity is even more impressive than his music ( and that is a massive feat!!!)
Great reaction!! Thank You!! ❤ Welcome to the Reniverse !!! While many musical rabbit holes yield delightful and important treasures...Ren's rabbit hole and all the subdivisions leading through the offerings of his friends and collaborators provides a life changing experience... Any path you may choose to further your exploration will be correct... I am pretty sure a wave of Renegades will not only soon be pushing up your subscriber numbers, but they will also be giving you a wealth of song options to select from!!! By this one reaction, I can tell you are going to have a whole lot of fun in the weeks and months ahead!! ✌
Such a thoughtful reaction. Subbed and along for the ride. You will not be disappointed if you react to more of Ren's music. He is an amazing human being, an independent artist, and his catalog of music is varied, immense, and well- worth a deep dive!
Awesome reaction. There are endless Ren videos out there and they are all amazing. He has so many facets to his talent and I'm sure you'll enjoy the jorney.
Fellow Renegade. Looking forward to your journey. I hope you like roller coasters because there’s twists and turns that will take you to places that you never thought this ride would go.
Welcome! So excited to hear more Ren reactions from you! You won’t be disappointed and instead quite mind blown if you have a curiosity and appreciation for his broad range of talents ❤
He has a a rough time since his teen years but hasnt let it get him down and he is persevering through and inspiring others with great songs like this. cool review bud
This is a fantastic performance of a genius song If you continue you will find every track is different from the one before all surprises and wonderful I forgot to say that you did a great reaction picking up his breath control and thoughtful comments . Enjoyed your reaction ❤
Thanks for the genuine, honest reaction. It is impossible for me to even estimate how many times I have listened, watched this and other Ren works of art (and folly). I keep coming back for more.
A guide: fun songs: Loco, Love Music 1-4, Uninvited, Fisher Rap, Illest of Our Time, Down On the Beat, Animal Flow, Children of the Moon Aggressive songs: Hunger, Crucify Your Culture, Masochist Dark and heavy-themed songs: Depression, Insomnia, Sick Boi, Slaughterhouse, Seven Sins, For Joe Groove songs- Ocean, Life is Funny, Back on ‘74, Power, Troubles
Another amazing raw talented artist from Europe that a renagade told Ren to check out named Asaf Avidan. He listened. Was blown away and asked us to please go listen and support him. I would recommend 900 days as a first song to listen to. You will be amazed.
Another Renegade here! So happy to meet you and enjoy your reaction! Always Remember this is Your channel and renegades will be here for Your content, done as you are most comfortable. Ack. Sure wish this video was much longer! Only 9+min. Tales of Jenny and Screech the 13+min combo video is the Best version!
Renegade and new sub. Thank you for such a thoughtful reaction. Ren is a movement. I hope you choose to dive into his music, we will be here to watch every minute.
Come on were all down in Ren rabbit hole having so much fun. Join us maybe react to the tales trilogy or troubles. Ren puts all himself in his work. Even Ren's busy work is like a hard days graft. He deserves everything. He inspires, comforts and heals. Wynand fourie wrote sang and gathered the ren-ergades to make a for "loves healing". Hi-ren made me so proud of myself for making it this far (before Ren i didn't want to be). He makes you feel like your not alone, that hes already got pass the thing thats Infront of you and he can do so can you. My soul feels so warm and fuzzy thinking about Ren indirectly brought the ren-ergades together. I know every single one of them is true to life, we all believe in the "power of unity" (its Ren song i just realised what i had typed) and are here to support Ren, his friends and each other. You will never see another community like the ren-ergades. Jump in and let the community show the way young jedi. Peace love and happiness across every corner of the world from here in north Wales UK Ren-ergades i love all as always ❤️💚🤍 🏴🏴🏴 🦄🦄🦄 Ren-icorn 💚💚💚 Lyme disease
Nice reaction buddy. Check out Rens 8 chapters to learn more about our sick boi. Would love to see you react to jenny and screechs tale (all 3 videos in one reaction). Much love to you, from a New Zealand RENegade!🐷🐰❤
Jawsh, I like the spelling. "Ren" is a favorite, so anything with his name! Also suggestions that are really good and large followings: Jazz, Angelina Jordan and Raye; Rapp, Tom McDonald and Dax; guitar "Alip ba Tah". spelling may differ for some of these? Enjoy!
If you want to hear Ren sing and more of his guitar skills check out "I Shot The Sheriff/Road To Zion/Hip Hop" with The Big Push (wearing red suspenders) and if you want to hear him rap, rap check out "The Hunger" also I think you'd really enjoy him performing "Back On 74" (by Jungle) and a prequel to "Hi Ren" is "Sick Boi" also check out Ren & Chinchilla performing "One Dance/Drunken Love" As well as one of his newest videos called "Slaughterhouse" Great reaction! ❤🎉
RENEGADES ASSEMBLE 💪😊 Haha you've no idea the rabbit hole you've fallen into. I'll let others guide you down the hole, I'll just welcome you, new RENegade sibling 😊-One thing I will say, please no subtitles unless provided by Ren. UA-cam subtitles are distracting, always wrong, butcher his lyrics AND can actually spoil surprises in the lyrics. Glad you didn't use them here and hope you don't on any of his stuff. His diction is great so you don't need them anyway, hehe. Anyway, welcome again!
Renegade here! Little info about Ren that I post on every new to his work reactor! He is self taught on piano and guitar independent artist . With ONE MILLION SUBSCRIBERS - Defining success video you can see what kind of person Ren is. He fights with health issues from age of 19 (he is 34 now) and for the first 7 years doctors misdiagnosed and treat him with all kind of pills that he doesn't need for bipolar and other mental problems, while the whole time he has Lyme disease, when he finds out that he has Lyme after those 7 years, he already had big damage to his body and develop autoimmune diseases because his Lyme hasn't been diagnosed and treated for years! He is trying to fix his body even now! With his song "Troubles'' you can learn more about a part of his journey. With his work he brings messages to the people and he is trying to make the world a better place!!!🙂
True story! We love REN! ❤️
Thanks for sharing! I love how Ren’s story shows his strength despite everything he’s gone through. It’s amazing how he uses his platform to make a difference and inspire others!
Welcome to Renworld, if you're coming in, buckle up, it's a helluva ride.

Ren is going to be the goat! 🐐 From a fellow Lyme and autoimmune warrior like
Ren 💚💚💚🦠🦠🦠 Thank you for reacting to this! 😊
Of course and thank you so much!
I just saw your Hi Ren reaction, and put this journal entry of Ren's as my comment to that reaction.

I remember very vividly at 9 years old, becoming very frustrated with the voice. I stood in my back yard, internally screaming at the voice to be silent again and again, and it did. In a flash there was silence, to the point where my head felt like an empty room. I wasn't used to the quiet and that voice never returned. It almost felt lonely in my head.
When I got older I had intermittent bouts with auditory hallucinations where I would hear perfect symphonies, usually at night when drifting off to sleep. They were so clear that they sounded like they were emanating from a radio in the corner of my room. I knew they weren't there, but for some reason they never came with the feeling of fear. I also recall sitting on a bus at the age of 15, and hearing the sound of a crowded room, with about 100 voices chattering away, I was the only person apart from the driver on the bus.
These experiences were always very brief, and few and far between.
My last hallucination was during an intense bout of psychosis in 2015, and was my first visual hallucination. I was walking down a pavement after jumping out my mums car in a crossroads in a moment of frustration and distress with my condition. I was trying to run from myself. What appeared to be a homeless man with a dark complexion approached me, and asked me what was wrong. I explained that I had been sick most my life, and I wasn't sure I had the strength to continue. He looked at me, and smiled and told me 'everything is going to be okay in the end Ren.' I had not told him my name. There was something so overpoweringly sincere about this very simple message, which brought with it an overwhelming feeling of inner peace, and in a flash, he vanished.
My rational brain always linked these experiences to what the doctors have told me, that there are parts of my brain compromised by the autoimmunity in my body. That the myelin sheaths surrounding the complex electrical system that conduct my thoughts were damaged and compromised, causing these lucid experiences that I knew did not exist inside the physical world.
The part of me that edges away from logical and rational thought always attributed these thoughts to some kind of otherworldly intervention, that made my thoughts the battleground of some spiritual tug of war.
For a long time I never really acknowledged this part of myself, for with it brought the danger and stigma of sounding like a crazy person.
I decided with my latest release, to the best of my ability, to capture and express this chess match of thought.
Hi Ren comes out in just over 24 hours.
I can't wait for you all to hear it.
Wow, this journal entry really gives you a deep look into Ren’s mind and the struggles he’s faced. It’s incredibly brave of him to share such personal experiences with his audience. The way he describes his battles with the voice in his head, the hallucinations, and the spiritual tug-of-war is so raw and relatable. It’s clear that his music is not just about entertainment, but a way for him to process and express these complex thoughts. It’s amazing how much vulnerability he brings to his art.
I guess my Nightwish and The Warning gave your channel a boost.👍
Ren should generate views and get you some subs. Hi Ren" is a conversation with his mental health (and physical), and how he learns to balance rather than battle it. He creates awareness for and conversation about mental health.
Yes, it did! Thank you so much! And yes, I really loved how he highlighted mental health. Really talented!
Welcome to the wonderful world of REN, our lyrical genius and beautiful soul. Great reaction and subbed for more Ren ❤
Another Renegade here i just subscribed welcome to the Ren Rabbit hole
Rens about to bless you in many ways.
Some people know me as hope. Some people know me as the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope ❤ hits every time
❤❤❤
Subbed for more Ren!!!
Floor Jansen is my fav female singer and now you found my fav Male Artist of all time!
Ren is a once in a lifetime talent. Multi-genre, multi-instrumentalist, producer, director, Bard, and extremely super & inspiring human being.
Thank you so much!
Welcome to planet Ren! Great reaction!!
I envy you this. Welcome to the remarkable world of Ren and to the growing RENegade family!
You have no idea the musical talent you've just found. This man is made of music. He's the best artist of this time. Your mind will be blown by the stuff he does. I'd suggest Sick Boi as a follow up. It's a very different style of song, but it's more of his personal story.
Thank you for the recommendation!
French Renegade 💞 Great reaction, thank you. Subscribed immediatly Sending my love from France 🫶
Thank you so much! Much love from Florida ❤
Thanks for reactiong to the Goat. New Sub here for more Ren so welcome to the Reniverse,enjoy this amazing journey❤
You didn't know you needed this. Like everyone of us. Please watch "Sick Boi", "Chalk Outlines", "The Tale of Jenny and Screech", etc. I guarantee you you've never seen anything like this before. Big love from Germany 💜💜💜
Thank you so much for the sweet comment. Much love from Florida! 💜
Thanks for your reaction. You will not be disappointed as you go through Ren's catalog.
I hope you continue your Ren journey. His music is more eclectic than you can possibly imagine. I saw you reacted to Jungle - Back on 74, Ren actually made a Back on 74 Retake with Message in a Bottle. It's amazing and will show you yet another side of his beautiful talent.
❤ Ren …. Absolutely obsessed for 3 years ❤. The musical discovery of my lifetime….. His humanity is even more impressive than his music ( and that is a massive feat!!!)
Great reaction!! Thank You!! ❤ Welcome to the Reniverse !!! While many musical rabbit holes yield delightful and important treasures...Ren's rabbit hole and all the subdivisions leading through the offerings of his friends and collaborators provides a life changing experience... Any path you may choose to further your exploration will be correct... I am pretty sure a wave of Renegades will not only soon be pushing up your subscriber numbers, but they will also be giving you a wealth of song options to select from!!! By this one reaction, I can tell you are going to have a whole lot of fun in the weeks and months ahead!! ✌
Thank you so much!
@@inalectexperiences strap in, homie! great reaction :D Be well!
Such a thoughtful reaction. Subbed and along for the ride. You will not be disappointed if you react to more of Ren's music. He is an amazing human being, an independent artist, and his catalog of music is varied, immense, and well- worth a deep dive!
Thank you so much!
And just like that…a new Renegade is born!
Oh, I forgot to tell you that I’ve subscribed and your doing a spectacular job!

Fellow Renegade. Looking forward to your journey. I hope you like roller coasters because there’s twists and turns that will take you to places that you never thought this ride would go.
So true. Nothing and we mean nothing is off the table with Ren. Expect anything.😂

Great reaction! You’ve just witnessed one of the most powerful pieces of art/music in music history! Ren has helped/changed so many people’s lives🔥🤘🔥🤘
Another amazing raw talented artist from Europe that a renagade told Ren to check out named Asaf Avidan. He listened. Was blown away and asked us to please go listen and support him. I would recommend 900 days as a first song to listen to. You will be amazed.
Thank you for the recommendation!
Renaissance incoming
funny to referr to Ren as a "new artist" after 2 years the song is out and he already made #1 :D

Renegade reporting for duty!
Welcome to the Renegades
Yes it’s a live one take. 4 separate cameras. This was the best of 4 takes. The last bit was filmed separately. REN loves his live one takes.
Incorrect. The video is spliced together from the multiple takes they did (from 3 cameras) however the audio is one complete take.
Redefining human. Residuum

Thank you so much for watching!
Renegade and new sub. Thank you for such a thoughtful reaction. Ren is a movement. I hope you choose to dive into his music, we will be here to watch every minute.
Thank you so much for the kind words!
Come on were all down in Ren rabbit hole having so much fun. Join us maybe react to the tales trilogy or troubles. Ren puts all himself in his work. Even Ren's busy work is like a hard days graft. He deserves everything. He inspires, comforts and heals. Wynand fourie wrote sang and gathered the ren-ergades to make a for "loves healing". Hi-ren made me so proud of myself for making it this far (before Ren i didn't want to be). He makes you feel like your not alone, that hes already got pass the thing thats Infront of you and he can do so can you. My soul feels so warm and fuzzy thinking about Ren indirectly brought the ren-ergades together. I know every single one of them is true to life, we all believe in the "power of unity" (its Ren song i just realised what i had typed) and are here to support Ren, his friends and each other. You will never see another community like the ren-ergades. Jump in and let the community show the way young jedi.
Peace love and happiness across every corner of the world from here in north Wales UK
Ren-ergades i love all as always
❤️💚🤍

Welcome to the wonderful world of ren,where you can always expect the unexpected 😊 subbed in hopes of more ren! 😁🥹💜
Thank you so much! I will react to more Ren for sure!
Subscribed, loved your reaction. New Artist suggestion - Harry Mack
Thank you for the recommendation!
Nice reaction buddy. Check out Rens 8 chapters to learn more about our sick boi. Would love to see you react to jenny and screechs tale (all 3 videos in one reaction). Much love to you, from a New Zealand RENegade!🐷🐰❤
Thank you so much and much love from Florida!
I see you're over 2000 now. I hope the renegades are treating you well ❤️
Ren is so good. I hope you check out some more from him. Liked and subscribed.
Thank you so much!
Jawsh, I like the spelling. "Ren" is a favorite, so anything with his name! Also suggestions that are really good and large followings: Jazz, Angelina Jordan and Raye; Rapp, Tom McDonald and Dax; guitar "Alip ba Tah". spelling may differ for some of these? Enjoy!
Thank you so much! And thank you for the recommendations!
If you want to hear Ren sing and more of his guitar skills check out "I Shot The Sheriff/Road To Zion/Hip Hop" with The Big Push (wearing red suspenders) and if you want to hear him rap, rap check out "The Hunger" also I think you'd really enjoy him performing "Back On 74" (by Jungle) and a prequel to "Hi Ren" is "Sick Boi" also check out Ren & Chinchilla performing "One Dance/Drunken Love"
As well as one of his newest videos called "Slaughterhouse"
Great reaction! ❤🎉
RENEGADES ASSEMBLE 💪😊
Haha you've no idea the rabbit hole you've fallen into. I'll let others guide you down the hole, I'll just welcome you, new RENegade sibling 😊-One thing I will say, please no subtitles unless provided by Ren. UA-cam subtitles are distracting, always wrong, butcher his lyrics AND can actually spoil surprises in the lyrics. Glad you didn't use them here and hope you don't on any of his stuff. His diction is great so you don't need them anyway, hehe. Anyway, welcome again!
New artist to you, I assume you mean. He's been around for years, and has been huge for about the last year and a half.
You're right! This artist is new to me. New Artist Tuesday is my series where I discover new artists-got any track recommendations?
You need to check out jenny and creecch money game chalk outlines welcome to the renegades
I'm laughing that he was giving thanks to getting to 1k subscribers. 5 days later 4k....RENEGADES!!!!
Haha I'm still trying to process everything tbh!
Check out Back on 74 by Ren! I just saw the original is your most popular!
