Yes with the complete tale of Jenny and Screech and then the Hunger, and Illest of our Time. and then him busking with the Big Push doing I Shot the Sherrif. After that Money Game parts 1 and 2 and Genesis...
“The Tale Of Jenny And Screetch (full)” will blow your socks off 💯 It’s 3 live performances in a row that all connect the same story. One of the best story related pieces of art I’ve ever seen.
welcome to the RENasance. He is absolutely soulsplitting. From his lyrical miracle songs like Illest Of Our Time or The Hunger, to his 3 piece Shakespearian level Jenny/Screech/Violet trilogy, to his thought provoking songs like money game 1/2, Sickboi, and soo much more. Ren truly is a masterclass artist.
Ren is a really interesting artist simply because of the sheer variety of his work. Rap, rock, regae, folk, edm, new school, old school, he seemingly has no genre, he has all of them. And he has a message behind most of what he does too, so there's substance to it. Think you're going to enjoy the journey.
Hell yeah... Ren is absolutely amazing. From his rap in : Illest of our time, and the hunger... to his singing in his collaboration with Chinchilla in Chalk Outlines. Just be warned once you start down the Ren path your life will never be the same again.
YO didn't expect to see you reacting to Ren, that's awesome! Edit: If you want a cool ride and an even better story from Ren, I'd highly recommend checking out his trilogy of Jenny's, Screech's, and Violet's Tale
Ren is a true artiste. He doesn’t confine his talent to one genre-take a pick and dive on in to the Ren rabbitverse. His lyricism is next level and as he says on the track ‘Power’ ‘I go for broke on every song I wrote’. He also does next level social commentary on ‘Money Game pt. 1& 2, and ‘Crucify Your Culture’. Everything is thought provoking. Cheers.
I've known about Ren for years as my daughter grew up in Brighton were he did a lot of busking (street performing for those outside UK). He is highly talented and was signed by Sony back then, but he got dropped when he got sick with misdiagnosed Lyme disease. He can sing, rap and does his own style of bardcore (this and the tale of Jenny, Screech and Violet) not to mention beatbox, play multiple instruments and does his own beats for his rap songs (other than retakes).
Glad you appreciate it. I tried to show my best friends/band mates to show them how I feel mentally and have voices and shadows in my head. They didn’t get it. I’m currently in out patient at a mental hospital and all of my friends abandoned me. It’s nice to see people understand. It helps even if I cry every single time.
So had to come back to your comment here man. Realize it's a bit on the later side but I hope you're doing well. Felt like everything you mentioned here hit home for me as well, so in a way I just wanted to remind you you're not alone with those struggles, and I'm glad that Ren has been able to make music that can speak to people on a level of such understanding as this. You deserve friends that can show they understand and support the steps you're taking to help yourself, and I hope you've met some. Much love 🙏
I’m sooo happy to see you react to this! Ren is one of a kind talented young man. You might like Genesis, Losing it, Sick Boi. He has an extensive catalog with many different types of music. Some are covers, done very well, some originals, also very good. I’ll be looking out for more Ren on your channel. Great reaction, I’ve been watching you for quite a while now and this is the first time I’ve commented. I’m passionate about this artist. Have fun!! He’s great!
So many of us fell in love with Ren because of this song. It’s a shame he’s not already made it huge but this song was his turning point. Everything I’ve heard from him since first hearing this song has blown my mind. He’s right, he’s a genius.
I’m so glad you’re reacting to Ren. I found his music a month or two ago and I became obsessed with it. I love how each song he makes has so much meaning and they all sound so different. Crutch is my favorite song from him.
just found ren through hi ren a few days ago and i checked out his other suff. he quickly became one of my favourite artist in a matter of a day or 2 and his story is crazy
Man, as a person who struggled with suicide growing up and has been battling suicide bit recently rededicated myself to my calling to ministry walking by faith and writing my raps and sermons, this really hit me. I got tears on this one.
I love how reactors knit their brows and shake their head at the opening yodeling sequence, but by the end they all vigorously nod to the yodeling like it's an anthem.
Crypt, you nailed this reaction. You picked up and dissected his lyrics on a first time listen with incredible insight. You also had me in tears with your commentary. I loved Ren’s dance with the devil at the end where he keeps the forces of evil at bay in that eternal dance with his internal demons.
Ren is the realist of the real, probably one of the most talented musical artists I've heard in 40 years of listening to all genres of music....his back story of illness and mis diagnosis is something you should research before you go down the Ren rabbit hole, it will give you a better understanding of some of his songs. Also as you start listening to more of his songs, some of the references he includes in his lyrics start to make more sense as he often references his own lyrics...I could suggest plenty of tracks but prob better for yourself to just go on the journey and enjoy...oh and if its rap your into, then Ren can proper Rap rap....I would only say to be careful with some as he they have to be listened to in a certain order like the tales trilogy....great reaction by the way you totally got it.
Hahahah! You're one of my favorite reactors and I'm so glad you finally got to hop on this. Get Ready to go down the Ren rabbit hole! You will continuously be pleasantly surprised! 🙌🏻 Check out, The Tale of Jenny & Screech FULL, The Hunger, Genesis, Losing It, Fisher Retake, and the band The Big Push. Good luck Brodie!!! Remember, you asked for it. 😂
Continue with the ren rabbit hole! it's absolutely fucking amazing and every single song will blow your mind, his singing is amazing his rapping is phenomenal and his guitar skills are top level xo
I have watched 1000 reaction videos to Hi Ren...and every one of them moved me..however I hadnt watched a reaction on a while and when you stopped when he said.."im the voice you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope".. It got me...not alot of reaction videos capture what I think it's the most emotion provoking lines in the song....and when you gave your thoughts on that.. I cried. I needed to hear someone say what you said out loud. Thank you .
Finding Ren a couple months ago, through this song, has led me properly down the rabbit hole. He has some insane talent. Jenny and screech trilogy full video, illest of our time, sick boy, chalk outlines, losing it, money game v1 and v2… all absolutely brilliant.
Outstanding reaction my dude. Really impressive to see your level of comprehension and ability to repeat it all back, verbatim at times, with one listen. Can’t wait for more Ren from you!
Welcome to the RENaissance. I will never get tired of watching reactions to his music in general but especially this song. It's always interesting to see a reactor from when he starts the yodeling business and everybody's either confused or laughing or sometimes even on the edge of turning the whole thing off, to the end when they're just captivated. That was fun. You should do more Ren. He's not all folk rap. This is actually quite different from what he normally does. But he doesn't fit into any one box. He is genreless. Or, as Black Pegasus, called him the last genre bender. I would enjoy watching your take on some of his other music. There will be a ton of people down below making suggestions. It's pretty much a given that you're going to want to do the tale of Jenny and Screech, the full version with all three stories together. Because it is a trilogy. It's a modern day Shakespearean tale told in three parts. It's best that the tales are watched back to back. It's 13 minutes long but just like this video probably didn't feel like 9 minutes his trilogy won't feel like 13. Past that he's got a ton of good music. He sings, he raps, he plays instruments, he makes his own beats... Can't go wrong no matter what you pick. His history is that of a busker a street performer. He's been doing this, working towards this goal of making it through music, for 20 years now. More than 20 years. And you will hear about his sickness as well from his fans. The short version is that he was diagnosed with Lyme disease finally after being misdiagnosed for many many years. Unfortunately, in addition to being sick, the being misdiagnosed means that he was prescribed medications he didn't need, given mental health labels that he didn't fall under like schizophrenia and/or bipolar disorder, and developed psychosis as a result of all of that. But the amazing thing is that he kept making music. I mean I can barely get out of bed some days. I sure as hell don't think I could do what he has been doing if I was a sick as he has been. Anyway, keep on keeping on. 🖖
Ren is not only a very talent boy but he’s intelligent and clued up on the real world. He’s still learning just like us all but I live his openness and letting us in to to connect with him on a very real level 👏🏻💚
Ren is multitalented with his music, if you want rap (illest of our time, Sick Boi) and you want singing (chalk outlines) if you want insane storytelling (the Jenny, Screech, Violets Tales). Definitely check out more Ren.
Listen to hunger and ocean. He has so much talent. I don't know of anyone like him. It will take you thru a rabbit hole. But you can not help but respect the artist. He is in Canada seeking medical attention for his mental health but also has Lyme disease. I ❤ Ren. Prayers for his health and recovery. Too much talent to see in his future.
@@rhondaanderson1694 yep hunger if you want rap, but he is a musical prodigy he can do anything as far as ive seen, his covers are amazing, as well as the stuff he does with the big push and sam, you know its pue talent when you can make yourself sound brilliant through 2 amps on the sidewalk haha
Sleep Token is the only multi-genre artist I need, it's honestly hard for me to sit through Hi Ren, arguably Ren's best song. Everything else felt a tad cornier than Dax to me. I just can't get into the guy, even though I appreciate the artistry behind Hi Ren. Give Sleep Token a try if you haven't already, if you really want to listen to something that can't be described by or bound to a single genre.
Please react to more Ren. The man is super creative, he's in a band called The Big Push. And does a lot of collabs with Sam Tompkins, and so much more. There is so much for you to react to from his Solo work, to his street performances (which I think really helped him blow up). Ren x Sam Tompkins. I think you will be very impressed with whatever you react to, and his musical creativity can't be denied even if every song might not be for everyone (one can still appreciate it). Ren can Rap, Sing, play Guitar, Bass, Piano (and probably more lol). Keep up the great work Crypt can't wait for more music from you as well.
Hey man, I just recently stumbled on your site your reactions to Ren specifically, I haven't washed anything else yet. I do like the clips that I've seen of your music. Keep it up, show some more or I guess I can go to your page anyway. You talk about often not wanting to pause so so much and I understand that a lot of people may not like that. I however really enjoy your insights so keep doing what you're doing. Thank you
Even if you don't react to more of Ren's catalogue, you have to dig into it in off on your own time. But you really need to do the reactions my man. Ren's content is absolutely worth it. Sick Boi will blow your mind in a totally different way!
“You’ll never be loved, you’ll never be safe, might as well give up.” “Not running away!” I’ve never had an artist hit my NF buttons like this. I’m so glad you did this reaction.
Bro, I am glad that you did this reaction as I have been going around and watching everyone's reactions to it. I am chronically ill and also am a musician. It hit me soooo hard! He is a lyrical GENIUS! He is a true artist, performer and all around great human being! As a rapper you will really love his recent stuff, Sick Boi & Illest of our time. As more performance art you MUST watch the Tale of Jenny, Screech & Violet (Full) they all correlate with one another and you need to watch in that order. Also his collaborations with Chinchilla are incredible! I loved your reaction, so I gladly subscribed to your channel. I am sure your comment section is going to blow up because there are sooo many of us doing the same thing. I have heard this song well over 150 times (not even kidding) and it captivates me EVERY SINGLE TIME!
Yea man I’ve really enjoyed listening to Ren! And he has so many different types of music that just never gets boring! Next one I’d check to get some more of his rap is his most recent song “Illest if our Time”
It was meant to be that Ren was to speak to you today. He wakes and shakes and makes you with this song. You feel it. THIS time you really feel it. Now you get to pass it, share it, promote it cuz it deserves it. 🎉❤
I ❤ and am obsessed with all thing Ren… He is a musical GENIUS and possibly one of the most incredible motivators of all time for people (like me) who have struggled with severe chronic illness and the ensuing mental health struggles… REN IS A GIFT FEOM GOD!🙏🏼🤍🙏🏼
Yeahhh join us on the Ren train. There is rap: the Hunger, illest allive, sick boy. Singing: the busking with his band the big Push and Sam. Chalk outlines. Some of his older songs are great too.
I have watched so many reactions to 'Hi Ren' since it tends to have such awesome reactions. I think you're the first I've seen point out the 'loosen the noose on the rope' in the context of the singer as the one holding the noose. I mean, I suppose the emotion would still apply, but I definitely interpret it as the positivity/hope being why the noose loosens, not just the outcome. Otherwise, you caught a lot of stuff really quickly! Realizing it was absolutely about mental health early on, the live playing and singing, etc. Great reaction!
Ren is SOOOO talented. His stuff is all over the place from rapping, "folk" storytelling, rock singing, etc. For rapping check out The Hunger, Illest of our Time, Power, Genesis, or Money Game 1 + 2. For AMAZING storytelling do the trilogy Jenny's, Screech's, and Violet's tale... highly recommend the longer video with all 3 combined rather than doing them individually as they are all a complete story. For some more of his singing skills check out Chalk Outlines, How to be Me, or some of his street busking videos. He also was in a group called the Big Push that he did some more rock singing. Oh I'm sure I left out so much more... as you can see I've become a fan of Ren after hearing Hi Ren shortly after it came out. I expect a lot of people will comment the same and would love to see some more reactions to his stuff.
More Ren, please! You will definitely love The Hunger from Ren. It’s super bar heavy and really shows he can RAP, rap! Also, the Tale of Jenny and Screech(full) is phenomenal storytelling.
@@jookya2 absolutely, me personally I don’t like the music that much, but that’s me. Best thing to come out of music is debatable but there will never be a true answer to that. But you think that he is amazing. I personally don’t. That is why it is objectively false.
If there are others you want to check out. Sic Boi and The Tale of Jenny and Screech full version. And as another Reaction and him really showing how good he Raps. The Hunger!
Thank you Sir for this reaction, I've been waiting for this. Ren has quickly become one of my favorite artists, he can do it all. For Rap check out The Hunger Illest of our Time Genesis -For story telling- Tale of Jenny, screech, violet -For singing- Chalk outlines He's also got a band called the Big Push Like with NF, you won't be disappointed
Fyi, the "sea shells" part he mocked at 9:24 is a reference to his most famous song, "Money Game part 2" -> a verse beginning with "she sells sea shells on the sea shore" was memed a lot and brought him a lot of popularity he now has
I didn't realize you haven't reacted to this yet. I'm so glad you did. I think the one you'd really like next is the tale of Jenny and Screech (full). It's one video in 3 parts(but do it all at once). It is masterclass storytelling, and you will be amazed.
Hi Ren is simply the best masterpiece I've heard since Pink Floyd's "The wall". Unique. Genious in every direction. And the most important to me: The truest song I've ever heard.
Ren is extremely talented, and I feel like that's even an understatement to his storytelling abilities, and as an artist. Don't only check out his music, but check out his Band the Big Push.
I loved this video! Your reaction was awesome! All his songs are bangers! Sick Boi is a good one. He has Lyme disease that went misdiagnosed for a long time and is currently getting treated in Canada for it. He's an absolute musical talent. I don't really care what you check out of his but I hope that you continue to do so!
I have been waiting for you to react to Ren for a while. I know for a fact you would love The Hunger, or his latest Illest of Our Time. But he has a ton of bangers to choose from.
been pretty familiar with ren, chalk outlines is amazing, his jenny and screetch trilogy is amazing. Ren is one of a kind. any of his songs is a hit and i reccomend all of them
BTW, I can relate highly to Ren, I didn't have my battles for the same reason, I was born with my psychosis, I battled it all my life, without drugs or therapy, and my heart goes out to Ren, but this song, it gives me hope and touches me deep inside, this is art, but it's also Ren emotionally and psychologically naked for all to see, it's beautiful and he is using his great talents to give the lessons he has learned as a student of psychological warfare to others still fighting it, only now as a teacher. I just turned 50 a week ago, and as much as I've struggled and learned, he has taught me another lesson, to voice it, to not be afraid to expose that to others, and I have, and it's like a weight lifted off my shoulders, that I can tell others now about that internal struggle. This is more than just music, it's art, and more than just art, it is life as some of us know it, and we are human beings.

Hi chain
Tom McDonald done it... Best Rapper Ever
@@roycecharlton4924 Tom McDonald is shit compared to Ren or NF. Dude just fucking caters to the lowest common denominator.
Jordan by Complete (Australian Rapper) Closesly Related to
Ren and NF
“Illest of our time” from him is fireeeeeee
May I just recommend you continue with the Ren train - he’s incredible
Seeing as people wanted me to change the wording so much lol
Yes with the complete tale of Jenny and Screech and then the Hunger, and Illest of our Time. and then him busking with the Big Push doing I Shot the Sherrif. After that Money Game parts 1 and 2 and Genesis...
I just commented TOJAS to do next great list I would add Sick Boi and Ocean as well
@@SillEofficialYT power as well hes rapping like hell in that
@@lesliehaigh6765 Power is one of his most complex and technical he gotta work up to it imo lol
@@SillEofficialYT yer man i just discovered rens ocean song i love it
“The Tale Of Jenny And Screetch (full)” will blow your socks off 💯 It’s 3 live performances in a row that all connect the same story. One of the best story related pieces of art I’ve ever seen.
One of the best rock operas in history. I agree.
welcome to the RENasance. He is absolutely soulsplitting. From his lyrical miracle songs like Illest Of Our Time or The Hunger, to his 3 piece Shakespearian level Jenny/Screech/Violet trilogy, to his thought provoking songs like money game 1/2, Sickboi, and soo much more. Ren truly is a masterclass artist.
I'm so happy to see the RENaissance name spreading
I found ren just before Jenny’s tale came out and have been apart of the RENasance ever since
I’ll be honest, I didn’t like Ren at first. Until I dove deeper into his music. He’s Ren-credible
This is the first time I have heard the term RENasance, and I absolutely love it! What a journey
I hope he fucking uses that line...IF he hasn't already...
Ren is a really interesting artist simply because of the sheer variety of his work. Rap, rock, regae, folk, edm, new school, old school, he seemingly has no genre, he has all of them. And he has a message behind most of what he does too, so there's substance to it. Think you're going to enjoy the journey.
You will be ABSOLUTELY blown away with the tales of Jenny, Screech, and Violet! It will blow your mind!
YES
Yessirrrrrrr
Yes You really need to check out the full version of Jenny and Screech
Hell yeah... Ren is absolutely amazing. From his rap in : Illest of our time, and the hunger... to his singing in his collaboration with Chinchilla in Chalk Outlines. Just be warned once you start down the Ren path your life will never be the same again.
YO didn't expect to see you reacting to Ren, that's awesome!
Edit: If you want a cool ride and an even better story from Ren, I'd highly recommend checking out his trilogy of Jenny's, Screech's, and Violet's Tale

I have watched 1000 reaction videos to Hi Ren...and every one of them moved me..however I hadnt watched a reaction on a while and when you stopped when he said.."im the voice you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope"..

Please more reactions on Ren! His music is something else. Pure raw emotion in art.
Watched about 100 reaction videos on ren and yours are definitely the best. Ill be watching every one you make

Money game 2 is probably one of the best songs iv ever heard
and „crucify your culture“ is even more brutal !!!!!
Outstanding reaction my dude. Really impressive to see your level of comprehension and ability to repeat it all back, verbatim at times, with one listen. Can’t wait for more Ren from you!
Finally... He has so many good songs.
Crypt!!! So excited you are starting the Ren journey!!! ❤🤌🏻
Super dope artist right here. You should totally check out the rest of his work.
Sick boi is amazing! Welcome to the rabbit hole
I already know this is going to be a life changing song for you.
hes such a fantastic storyteller through his music.
Sweet! We got Crypt hittin up Ren. This will be an exciting journey. Thanks for reacting to Ren!
About damn time, Crypt. Thanks for reacting to this amazing vid.

Sleep Token is the only multi-genre artist I need, it's honestly hard for me to sit through Hi Ren, arguably Ren's best song. Everything else felt a tad cornier than Dax to me. I just can't get into the guy, even though I appreciate the artistry behind Hi Ren.
Give Sleep Token a try if you haven't already, if you really want to listen to something that can't be described by or bound to a single genre.
Damn disc golf represent, reactor here also as well as a solo instrumental musician. Good shit
Please react to more Ren. The man is super creative, he's in a band called The Big Push. And does a lot of collabs with Sam Tompkins, and so much more. There is so much for you to react to from his Solo work, to his street performances (which I think really helped him blow up). Ren x Sam Tompkins. I think you will be very impressed with whatever you react to, and his musical creativity can't be denied even if every song might not be for everyone (one can still appreciate it). Ren can Rap, Sing, play Guitar, Bass, Piano (and probably more lol). Keep up the great work Crypt can't wait for more music from you as well.
Hey man, I just recently stumbled on your site your reactions to Ren specifically, I haven't washed anything else yet. I do like the clips that I've seen of your music. Keep it up, show some more or I guess I can go to your page anyway. You talk about often not wanting to pause so so much and I understand that a lot of people may not like that. I however really enjoy your insights so keep doing what you're doing. Thank you
Even if you don't react to more of Ren's catalogue, you have to dig into it in off on your own time. But you really need to do the reactions my man. Ren's content is absolutely worth it. Sick Boi will blow your mind in a totally different way!
So happy to see you finding Ren! Bro, he can do it all. Unbelievable talent, with an amazing story! Please do more of his music. I'm here for it!
Ren has quickly became one of my favorite artists. Lyricism, originality, flows , depth... It's all there
I discovered Ren a month ago, I'm just as surprised as you were, I'd love to see more reactions from you on this artist
He has many good tunes crypt. He's amazing at story telling.
So glad you have found the genius of Ren, live 1 take stuff, the tale of jenny and screech FULL will blow your fkin mind bro
Yeah we’re gunna need more ren reactions, this guy is insane
“You’ll never be loved, you’ll never be safe, might as well give up.” “Not running away!”
I’ve never had an artist hit my NF buttons like this. I’m so glad you did this reaction.
I found this song after Knox's reaction. I was waiting for your reaction for months until now. But I'm happy that the video is here
Bro, I am glad that you did this reaction as I have been going around and watching everyone's reactions to it. I am chronically ill and also am a musician. It hit me soooo hard! He is a lyrical GENIUS! He is a true artist, performer and all around great human being! As a rapper you will really love his recent stuff, Sick Boi & Illest of our time. As more performance art you MUST watch the Tale of Jenny, Screech & Violet (Full) they all correlate with one another and you need to watch in that order. Also his collaborations with Chinchilla are incredible! I loved your reaction, so I gladly subscribed to your channel. I am sure your comment section is going to blow up because there are sooo many of us doing the same thing. I have heard this song well over 150 times (not even kidding) and it captivates me EVERY SINGLE TIME!
He's having a horrible time at the moment with health, I hope he sees this and it cheers him up even if only for 10 minutes.
Yea man I’ve really enjoyed listening to Ren! And he has so many different types of music that just never gets boring!
Next one I’d check to get some more of his rap is his most recent song “Illest if our Time”
Ren is a rabbit hole you WON’T regret. Bro can do it all! Can’t wait to see your future reactions! (Cuz I KNOW you will)
Thank you for existing, Crypt
Bro I didn't expect u to react to this song. Unexpected but good surprise
More Ren is a necessity!!!
It was meant to be that Ren was to speak to you today.
He wakes and shakes and makes you with this song. You feel it. THIS time you really feel it. Now you get to pass it, share it, promote it cuz it deserves it. 🎉❤
I ❤ and am obsessed with all thing Ren… He is a musical GENIUS and possibly one of the most incredible motivators of all time for people (like me) who have struggled with severe chronic illness and the ensuing mental health struggles… REN IS A GIFT FEOM GOD!🙏🏼🤍🙏🏼
If this is your first time reacting to him. You should maybe do Jennys tale then screech's tale into voilets tale
Or just watch them all at once since Ren released the full version
You need a deep dive into his stuff, dude is the most talented artist I've seen in a looooong time!
The voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope. That is the most powerful thing I have ever heard
I'd not say that good always beats evil, but at least it's always there. 'standing beside you today'
Yeahhh join us on the Ren train. There is rap: the Hunger, illest allive, sick boy. Singing: the busking with his band the big Push and Sam. Chalk outlines. Some of his older songs are great too.
Chalk outlines LIVE, genesis, How to Be Me LIVE are insanely amazing
Ren is not your average rapper....he is a true artist in every meaning of the word. A musical genius that we need right now! 💯🔥
He's more a wrapper than a rapper since he can do it all. 😉
I have watched so many reactions to 'Hi Ren' since it tends to have such awesome reactions. I think you're the first I've seen point out the 'loosen the noose on the rope' in the context of the singer as the one holding the noose. I mean, I suppose the emotion would still apply, but I definitely interpret it as the positivity/hope being why the noose loosens, not just the outcome. Otherwise, you caught a lot of stuff really quickly! Realizing it was absolutely about mental health early on, the live playing and singing, etc. Great reaction!
Any and all ren songs You can't go wrong with. I have never been more fascinated by an artist before this guy is the truth!!
Awesome reaction!!
The whole world needs to listen to Hi Ren,it’s a pure beautiful work of art.
Ren is SOOOO talented. His stuff is all over the place from rapping, "folk" storytelling, rock singing, etc. For rapping check out The Hunger, Illest of our Time, Power, Genesis, or Money Game 1 + 2. For AMAZING storytelling do the trilogy Jenny's, Screech's, and Violet's tale... highly recommend the longer video with all 3 combined rather than doing them individually as they are all a complete story. For some more of his singing skills check out Chalk Outlines, How to be Me, or some of his street busking videos. He also was in a group called the Big Push that he did some more rock singing. Oh I'm sure I left out so much more... as you can see I've become a fan of Ren after hearing Hi Ren shortly after it came out. I expect a lot of people will comment the same and would love to see some more reactions to his stuff.
More Ren, please! You will definitely love The Hunger from Ren. It’s super bar heavy and really shows he can RAP, rap! Also, the Tale of Jenny and Screech(full) is phenomenal storytelling.
Ren is on another level. He is the best thing to come out of music in decades.
that is objectively false
@@caeserzone no because that's his opinion
@@caeserzone subjectively false to you
@@swiftyyy870 That means the same thing.
@@jookya2 absolutely, me personally I don’t like the music that much, but that’s me. Best thing to come out of music is debatable but there will never be a true answer to that. But you think that he is amazing. I personally don’t. That is why it is objectively false.
If there are others you want to check out. Sic Boi and The Tale of Jenny and Screech full version. And as another Reaction and him really showing how good he Raps. The Hunger!
Chalk Outlines and Genesis by Ren are both great songs too! I have Chalk Outlines in repeat
Ren is brilliant he sings about his life look into him real as it comes brilliant artist
Thank you Sir for this reaction, I've been waiting for this. Ren has quickly become one of my favorite artists, he can do it all.
For Rap check out
The Hunger
Illest of our Time
Genesis
-For story telling-
Tale of Jenny, screech, violet
-For singing-
Chalk outlines
He's also got a band called the Big Push
Like with NF, you won't be disappointed
Fyi, the "sea shells" part he mocked at 9:24 is a reference to his most famous song, "Money Game part 2" -> a verse beginning with "she sells sea shells on the sea shore" was memed a lot and brought him a lot of popularity he now has
I didn't realize you haven't reacted to this yet. I'm so glad you did. I think the one you'd really like next is the tale of Jenny and Screech (full). It's one video in 3 parts(but do it all at once). It is masterclass storytelling, and you will be amazed.
MORE REN REACTION PLEASE! I WILL WATCH AND LIKE ALL OF THEM, I PROMISE!!
Hi Ren is simply the best masterpiece I've heard since Pink Floyd's "The wall".
Unique.
Genious in every direction.
And the most important to me:
The truest song I've ever heard.
Great reaction, looking forward to you discovering more Ren - there is a lot of equally good but very different tracks!
Also just checked out your own tunes and they are great - subscribed and will be adding them to some Spotify playlists!
ren is the best artist I've discovered in the last years. just mindblowing all over the board
I def want to see more by him! looooved it 🖤
Ren is very unique and versatile. He raps greatly, sings beautifully and does his own music & beats. Please do more Ren. Thank you ❤
Bro his music is right up your alley, let's see some more reactions. Sick boi, the hunger and the tale of Jenny and screech
Ren is extremely talented, and I feel like that's even an understatement to his storytelling abilities, and as an artist. Don't only check out his music, but check out his Band the Big Push.
I hope the whole world hears him
I loved this video! Your reaction was awesome! All his songs are bangers! Sick Boi is a good one. He has Lyme disease that went misdiagnosed for a long time and is currently getting treated in Canada for it. He's an absolute musical talent. I don't really care what you check out of his but I hope that you continue to do so!
I have been waiting for you to react to Ren for a while. I know for a fact you would love The Hunger, or his latest Illest of Our Time. But he has a ton of bangers to choose from.
been pretty familiar with ren, chalk outlines is amazing, his jenny and screetch trilogy is amazing. Ren is one of a kind. any of his songs is a hit and i reccomend all of them
First time seeing this artist as well- holy fuck broooo 🔥
BTW, I can relate highly to Ren, I didn't have my battles for the same reason, I was born with my psychosis, I battled it all my life, without drugs or therapy, and my heart goes out to Ren, but this song, it gives me hope and touches me deep inside, this is art, but it's also Ren emotionally and psychologically naked for all to see, it's beautiful and he is using his great talents to give the lessons he has learned as a student of psychological warfare to others still fighting it, only now as a teacher.
I just turned 50 a week ago, and as much as I've struggled and learned, he has taught me another lesson, to voice it, to not be afraid to expose that to others, and I have, and it's like a weight lifted off my shoulders, that I can tell others now about that internal struggle.
This is more than just music, it's art, and more than just art, it is life as some of us know it, and we are human beings.
