Castles Made Of Sand has always been a Sick Boi Bandcamp deluxe edition exclusive. It just missed the cut for the 18 songs on the regular album. When the album preorders had Ren in the battle for the #1 album in the UK, Ren added the deluxe exclusive album to Bandcamp with 22 songs - adding Castles and 3 instrumental versions of songs - to boost sales at zero hour.
Wicked Ways beat Castles Made of Sand onto the Sick Boi album as Ren felt it fitted better into the flow of the album. Gotta say I really like this track, particularly the sample.
This beat was also produced by Kujobeats and bought off of beat stars So i doubt Ren is going to publish it anywhere else. Ren put this one out to help push sales when sick boi was fighting for #1 and was just a few hundred units behind Rick Astley
So I’m so excited you’re doing this. I haven’t even watched it yet and I’m giving you guys a thumbs up. I’ve been waiting for this one since sick boi dropped! The fact that he threw this song in in the 11th hour to push it to number one sick boi, shows what a master he really is. To have this song of this caliber as a throw in and not even care that’s not available on all platforms when it’s such fire goes to show how much he has in the arsenal.
I liked the line about the sand castles getting washed away in the surf and that's enlightenment - very much a recurring theme where the old needs to be washed away/destroyed in order for the new to be able to replace it (e.g. rebirth like in the track Masochist)
Hey guys thanks… a coroner is the doctor that performs autopsies/ medical examiner… he used the word coroner in Slaughter House… this is a great track 🫶🏻
The fact that this song may never have been heard by us all if he didnt do a special release for the album is just mind blowing. Can you imagine how many more absolute BANGERS he has stored on all his hard drives? Its insane. 🤣💜🥹
I have been thinking that very thought on recently listening to Ren talk about making songs for Saughterhouse. Did you hear him say how he has finished tracks and songs but keeps making new songs that are even better? This album is going to be so fire! 🔥
Thank you boys for this and all of your reactions. I hope you don’t mind my saying but the brother wearing black in this video; I pray you are well, my brother. May you both grow in happiness and all good things. I love your music too. Stay strong, my brothers. ❤❤
It was on a digital download deluxe album to help push him over the top for a #1 album. It's not because of the sample, all his retakes are not monetized cause the beats are not his. Happy Holidays!
Love Castles Made Of Sand. I wish Ren would have released it as a full single rather than it be a track only for bandcamp. Ren’s storytelling in this track is fantastic. Like Ren comparing himself and his trails with pain to references of the trials of Sisyphus from Greek myth with the lines “Why am I carrying this boulder? Why’ve I carried it for miles? And fucking miles, and fucking miles”. Because Sisyphus is punished by the gods and made to push a boulder up a hill everyday from morning to sunset, only for it to roll back down and then have to “copy C, copy V” and repeat the actions again the following day causing much stress and pain.
As always, great reaction Twinz! ❤ A coroner is the person who determines the cause of death, death by natural causes, accidental death or finds the hidden needlemark where the poison was injected.. 😅
We most certainly have Ren X Chinchilla - How To Be Me (Live) | These Two NEVER MISS !! First Time REACTION- Twin Rappers ua-cam.com/video/WlY7edbRyBY/v-deo.html Enjoy !!

Lauren Hill is in every top 5 favorite rappers list I've ever heard Ren give while basically everyone else changes.

Thats a bit more than a deluxe offer, god bless ren !

This is one of my favourite Ren songs - the lyrics are amazing. Thanks for reacting to it. Yes it was awesome.
Hey guys thanks… a coroner is the doctor that performs autopsies/ medical examiner… he used the word coroner in Slaughter House… this is a great track 🫶🏻
Also in wicked ways, lucky number 13 just my luck, dine at the table the coroner eat at…fuck.
Good catch with the Nujabes sample, It's from an anime cartoon, I forget which. Nujabes was great, died in a traffic accident I recall. RIP.
Samurai Champloo !!

You guys and SnakeVenomV are the only ones I've seen who knew the sample. 😊 Love this one.
Gotta love hidden tracks!
Awesome reaction!! I always look forward to hearing from you two veterans on the music. You guys keep it clean and interesting.
Thank you so much for this one! I hope it gets put on an anniversary edition of the Sick Boi album

❤❤❤My Favorite Ren Song and im glad you got this song to react to.

I got this when he was trying for the No1 album,loved from the beginning 😊
This is by far Ren's best HipHop track. Maybe not his best or most popular song but definitely his best Rap joint
One of the gems from Ren!! 100 Ren % amazing!!
Ohhhh I love this one! Glad you guys reacted to this one! It's one I don't see as much!
❤ one of my favorites
As always, great reaction Twinz! ❤

There is a Jimi Hendrix song called
"Castles Made of Sand"
Have you ever done Ren and Chinchilla live- how to be me ... I can't find it if you have x
We most certainly have
Ren X Chinchilla - How To Be Me (Live) | These Two NEVER MISS !! First Time REACTION- Twin Rappers
ua-cam.com/video/WlY7edbRyBY/v-deo.html
Enjoy !!
Are you guys okay? I get a troubled vibe the last couple videos. Hope you're good.
I’m glad I’m not the only one worried. I’ve watched you guys since you started reacting and the last few months I’ve been concerned about Trix (?).
The Pendulum Swings back and forth for everyone. Sending ❤
@MargaretKichenama yeah you're right. I guess I wanted to say, we're here, you're seen and appreciated. Keep going 💪
Ren is a huge Lauryn Hill fan
Yay, you found it
I actually joined Bandcamp to get all of Ren's music that is available and of course I I bought Sick Boi Deluxe 🤘🏽🔥⚡🎶❤️🔥🫶🏽
Ha Ha Yes !! Turns out we had an old band camp account when we put some of our music on it !! so we were able to take a listen
@StrawhatDynasty awesome, glad to hear fellow New York Ricans 🤘🏽🔥⚡🎶❤️🔥🫶🏽
@StrawhatDynasty hei is it still there?! Would love to support you guys ❤
