      You’ve received a beautiful comment from a Martin Gill. That’s REN’s dad.
      I don’t know either of them, I’m just a huge fan of REN’s music and I also have the same physical conditions as he does, so naturally I’m in awe of his ability to express the experience with such incredible clarity, truth and power- it’s been quite a healing and empowering experience. I’ve been binging on Ren reaction videos to glean further insights from the perspective of others. I really appreciate your take, helped me understand new aspects of his technical abilities and diversity, thank you. I’ve spotted REN’s dad, Martin Gill, only a small handful of times leave a comment when he really appreciates something about a reaction video. Just thought I’d point it out in case you didn’t spot it (he’s not too shabby a musician himself). Looking forward to checking out more of your vids now!

      Everyone keeps talking William Shakespeare but I could see Jerzy Grotowski and Antonin Artaud peeking out at me through Ren's work behind Bertold Brecht, who, of course, was standing up front taking all the glory.
      I've been looking for someone to say that to. Not a lot of that kind of thespian in my part of rural Australia... So looks like you're the guy!
      Do you know the work of Rudolf Laban and Yat Malmgren? Cos I could swear Ren does.

      @@mikenicholas9017 Artaud and theatre of the absurd was my specialist subject at university and Brecht was one of the greatest theatre writers and directors. His use of alienation is obvious in Rens work. It’s in many of the films I produced and wrote with prisoners here in the uk. Ren was around Grotowsky based movement and sound work with his mum and I during his childhood years so he probably was influenced through osmosis. I was Laban trained too so I’m very impressed by your observation and insight! Rens mum Pauline Down played in Frank Weidekins play with the now famous director Danny Boyle.

    This kid is doing things no one else is. His capacity to flip the switch on flow, cadence, speed and tone is astounding. He is a wordsmith doing it with sounds and beats that are UK not USA. So refreshing to hear a rapper flexing his ability and his story instead of trying to flex his wallet and crew.

    There are some other buried references in here too: I can’t recall who it was but there’s that famous flow on t’s-ticking off the top of my tongue-that he extends on; and then in Hi Ren he discusses the pendulum from light dark, and when he says the weed hits and the pendulum starts slowing, I think he means his head is in a good place, not worrying about swinging to that dark side for now. Great reaction! Kid is fire.

    I used to live with a rapper. Now, I was a white kid from England and I don't get rap/hip-hop. So here I am, living with a rapper from NY as I was working in the US. He would bust down my door at like 3am and be like "bro, you gotta hear this" and would proceed to do his thing.
    I still listen to his stuff in the car now and then, back in England, because he made me get it. That's what life is about; culture, experiences, inspiration and number 1? Eating other peoples bloody food.

    The more we see from him, the better it all is, but I will always be stuck on hi ren and the tale of jenny and screech.
    This is a pretty iconic set as well. In this song he went into that godzilla Eminem flow. Which obviously has been done but showing you can do it is an accolade in itself.
    As far as when rappers vocals are quieter than the beast is one of my biggest frustrations of all time but I didn't think that happened really here. My ears could catch his lyrics the whole time (not meaning I caught every lyric bit I could hear them at least lol)
