Ren added this song later as a last ditch effort to give Sick Boi album a final push to get it to #1 which is why it’s not on UA-cam. No issue. By the way Ren is so self aware that he even called him self out for wanting to go to number 1. Playing a small clip from Hi REN. If you remember in Hi Ren one of his lines “ I never chase numbers, statistics, or stats” 😂 Anyways we all love our boi so we all did our part to get him to a very well deserved #1 spot!
It was a track to push sales of the album. Ren was trying to get to No. 1 in the UK charts. The album did make No. 1 and as an independent artist that was imence. I think it was the first time an independent artist had done this all without no radio play, no touring just an imence amount of work and contact with his fans and the reaction community 😊
Ren's parents aren't religious, but one of his schools was. He's most familiar with Christianity, but has taken a trip through other religious traditions as well, mostly while trying to find a solution to his health issues.
Rest up and get better! This track was released as a last push for Ren to get the album to Number 1…I had already preordered the album on vinyl…unfortunately this track was not on the pre order….and I love this track, so I purchased it on bandcamp too! Ren is the One. 🔥🖤🔥
It's fine to react to this. Ren put 'Castles made of sand' on band camp as a bonus track to the album to encourage people to buy from that platform instead of apple etc. F**k the big corporations.
Sorry, but the ‘nurse’ in me just can’t help but notice that you look very tired today; hope you feel better soon. I also hope you don’t think you have to be here for us when you’re not feeling well (and I say that after coming back to your channel again to see if you have a new reaction, bc it’s what I look forward to each morning)!! I notice that other reactors post a ‘short video’ to explain when they’re not going to be putting out their normal content due to travel or illness. 🤒
Thank you so much, I was just excited to get some reactions out there, but I'm actually already starting to feel better, I even recorded a cover song today that I will release later. Thank you so much for your continued support!
That was my first time hearing this song. I dont think i have heard pocket full of pain either. I loved your jam to this one. Take care, but remember that a sick voice is a sexy voice. ❤❤
It's my second favorite from the extended Sick Boi album. It's such a great combo of production, lyrics, beats and sample. Plus he's riding the beat like a boss.
I think the line about a foreigner in my body is about the fact that when you have autoimmunity, your body attached itself line a foreign body. It attacks the good cells inside as if they are bad. Just like it does when you have the flu and it attacks the illness to get it out of your body...except, at last in my case, it doesn't fight the sickness very well because is too busy attacking the parts of me that used to be good...😊
What an insightful and lovely reaction to Ren's Castles Made of Sand. You did a Great job, Wynand. Thank you for another sweet jam. Now I hope you will take a rest and let your body heal. It's no fun to feel ill, as we all can attest to. Please take care.
Go to bed! Body is telling you something. I ended up with naps 3 days in a row and i never nap. Anyway, this was the last minute release album to push Sick Boi into #1. It worked.🎉 Feel better soon.
I felt the same as you at first when this song was being reacted to. Ren would have put something out if he was against it. Ren had a problem when people were sharing IG stories that he put out of samples of songs he was working on. He expressed how he felt about it, for sure. The album did get to #1 maybe because of this deluxe album. I bought the physical CD and the download of the original, then the deluxe when that came out. I'm in the States so it didn't count towards the #1, but it got on the top 200 billboard.
I did the exact same set of purchases in 2023, too ignorant to realize that I could not help REN’s UK standing. But I got a spectacular set of music to listen to and love in many different venues (including when storms take out the Internet!) and I know it still helped Ren &co in other ways. 💚. Love this track and Wynand, love your insights and the beautiful jamming addition❣️🙏⭕️♥️ This and Pocket Full of Pain have a lot in common; interesting you are doing them back to back… Take care of yourself, rest, and feel better soon🙏❣️
@@notasheep4255 I was bummed when it didn't help in UK charts but it did help Ren score in the Billboard charts. To quote HM in his Ren tribute, "200 Billboard from this man! How did he do it? Independent with the music!!!"
@@RENfan1265 Wow, thank you for that❣️. I have heard Harry Mack’s amazing freestyle tribute to Ren (many times, in fact; one of the moments of pure joy from Ren and Vic), but never got all the words (specifically the “200” reference❣️). Glad we were all able to help in some small way… 🤗 ♥️ Renegades❣️💚
@@notasheep4255 I don't think it's small at all. Ren is an independent UK artist mostly pushed on UA-cam,, is not very well known in the States. I think that is a huge step. I am very much hoping his new album will be bigger. We can only do what we can do. I think we did great!❤❤❤
You bought the album, Ren likes reactors - nothing to see here as far as ethics issues. This track though… Hip Hop in its purest form married with poetry and introspection in its purest form!
Just going to add to the others - I haven't seen Ren explicitly address his feelings on reactions to Castles... but his team allows it through *and* I know that when Ren hasn't wanted songs up he has absolutely contacted reactors in the past about them. Those were things uploaded by other people - his old Instagram shorts that were previews of songs or other people's recordings of him busking songs he didn't like his performance in, or what have you. So it seems like there's implied consent there. There's actually another 20 or so of his older songs on Bandcamp in a collection called Love Music (Ren doesn't consider it an album) that also are not on UA-cam and plenty of people react to. The deluxe was 22 songs with Sick Boi. Ren made the album as cheap as he could and still qualify for charting as an album.
Hope you rest and feel better soon. 🫂 This song deserves so much more attention, glad you've had the chance to hear it. I don't think Ren minds as it has been officially released, it was just a bonus track in the last few days of sales in the push for no.1.
Kind of a genius move, to hold back a really good track that appeals to most people as a bonus track for a last 24 hour push! I didn’t understand why this one “didn’t make the cut” , but now see that it had a special role to perform…♥️. Our Ren just doesn’t miss! Like the quote Izzy I. came up with: “Talent is hitting a target no one else can hit. Genius is hitting a target no one else can see”. (Paraphrased) Be Well, Wynand❣️🙏
@@notasheep4255 I think it was in a Twitch stream that Ren said it came down to Castles or Wicked Ways, and due to the album having so many songs already and him needing it to be a certain number, he could only pick one. He chose WW, but I'm glad that we got this one too eventually. As you say, it had an important job to do in getting the album over the line. 🥰
One of my all time favorites that's only available on Bandcamp unless it's a reaction so glad you got to it, I have all of Ren's discography that way and I most definitely paid more than what was asked for 😁🤘🏽🔥🎶🖤🫶🏽
The sample is from Samurai Champloo (altered) one of the best animes and anime soundtracks tracks of all time😁
Ah of course it is! Nujabes for the win! He killed that soundtrack! I loved that anime,definitely need to rewatch

Beating Drake & Rick Astley!
Pocket Full of Pain is lyrical genius! Can’t wait. There is no video but it’s on the Freckled Angels album on REN’s page
There is a video on the version Ren put at the end of Chapter 6 of his Chapters 1 to 8
@ true, but I don’t think it is clipped on its own. If I’m wrong link it for him. Cheers 😃
It's fine to react to this. Ren put 'Castles made of sand' on band camp as a bonus track to the album to encourage people to buy from that platform instead of apple etc. F**k the big corporations.
Oh…it’s the end song from Samurai Champloo.
Ah! I was gonna say! Spot on, thank you!
Best anime soundtrack ever. Someone needs to react to THAT!
❤ Thank you ❤ Hope and pray you feel better soon ❤ Much Love ❤
I'm so happy you got Pocket Full Of Pain!! It is an older song. Ren does reference other song in his music.
I hope you feel better.
Probably my favorite Ren hip hop track. Plus, I love the anime he sampled for this. Taking the day off at Boeing, so it’s a good day to fly.
I love this song… great jam… feel better… 🫶🏻
OMG! Someone else doing Castles... always here for this one. Big Thanks Wynand, you are a star
Ren loves you guys so I am sure it will be perfectly OK. Thanks for doing this one.
Seeing the lyrics cracked me up. When he says “fucked up my knuckles” the lyrics say “fucked on my knuckles.” Which is a whole different thing 😂
There's something other than Windows Media Player?! No ethical issues that I can see, I absolutely love this hidden treasure. 🖤

Sounds like you need hot noodle soup. Feel better ❤
Thank you so much I appreciate you 🙏 💗
Thanks for reacting to my favourite Ren song. Hope you feel better soon.
Dude this was my favorite jam yet!!! And that’s saying something! ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Man, a squishy brain! I am familiar with that😂 Hope you feel better❤
