You are going to have an amazing journey by jumping down the "Ren" rabbit hole. Its not all as serious but Ren really has been battling demons since he was misdiagnosed after contracting Lyme disease. He was given meds for years that he didn't need and it messed him up a bit. He is currently in Canada getting treatment and will be there for months. He is doing much better now but has a ways to go still. If you want rap then check out his songs- "Illest Of Our Time", "The Hunger", "What You Want" or "Genesis". He also has an amazing voice which you can hear in a song called "Chalk Outlines" and his cover of "I Shot The Sheriff" I highly recommend you jump head first down that rabbit hole because its a pretty wild ride!

This is the kind of artistry that gives "broken" people hope. Ren, through this performance piece, has become to a lot of people exactly what he stated in the song, "...the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope". So powerful, so impactful. The song structure itself is incredible. It starts off as a battle between his positive (Angel) and negative (Demon) aspects, the negative then makes an overpowering last ditch effort to reign supreme, tearing free and trying to take control, but ultimately fails as the final act, being the "God" aspect, emerges Triumphant, though still acknowledging and accepting that it will ALWAYS be a battle because we are all "a coin with 2 different sides". It's a beautifully cathartic and raw musical masterpiece. Ren is truly special. Welcome to the Ren rabbit-hole, it's a trip worth taking. This was the 4th take he did and yes, it was done live. Wait until you hear some of his other stuff, especially his storytelling ("The Tale of Jenny & Screech"). You haven't even touched the breadth of this young man's talent yet. The pig character (imo) represents the doctors and therapist who have essentially butchered him for years through their misdiagnosis. It's the system that focuses on peddling more pills than on genuinely trying to help to fix broken/ill people, caring more about profit than individual health. The bastardization of the hippocratic oath. He literally thought he was going insane because he was told repeatedly that the pain and symptoms he was experiencing were all in his head (psychosomatic). He had reached a point where he literally resigned himself to dying before he reached 30. Turns out he had Lyme's disease the whole time and it ran rampant through his system for 10 years, even to the point of causing brain damage. Ironically, if Ren hadn't gone through what he has, would he have ever made the art he has? There's no question that his suffering has shaped his music and now he's finally getting the recognition he undoubtedly deserves. I've said it before, I'll say it again, Ren is special.

there is no "God aspect." He refers to God externally earlier in the lyrics. I've seen this comment before and it is a linguistic impossibility. He cannot refer to a hand by which he was made and a plan which he lives and then have it be something inside himself.

@@simontemplar3359 Why do you think it is impossible? What is, if consciousness is fundamental and the world is created by it? The difference for us humans is that although we are made from it, we can never be it because of our humanness, genetic and psychological baggage. If you are religious, replace consciousness with god... This is why Ren is dancing between dark and light at the end of the song. We must never forget that we are human beings, we are neither daemons nor angels nor god and at the same time we have all in us, we just need to learn to live with it.

Ren is nuts. There are some songs like this where you might cry. Others like the Schreeches tale trilogy are like listening to a novel, The Hunger is basically him proving he can rap rap in any style. Genesis is half rap half song but showing he can produce beats. His previous band that busked - the big push- had an amazing set and one of the videos was a Marley mashup of I shot the sheriff, road to Zion and callbacks to Rappers Delight.

Nice take on this song. Your more serious comments in particular were insightful. It’s nice to see some different sides of you too. Really appreciated this reaction. That line with the noose always hits me hard. I’m glad I’m not alone.
I've been listening to REN over 2 months. Can't get enough. My current favorite is "How to be Me". It's DYNAMIC OMG!
Thank you! I was hoping you’d get to Ren ! Such a versatile artist and my new obsession! He’s dropped a new track called illest of our time. Now that would be an interesting reaction .

"Courage isn't made without fear" Amen Brother 🙏🙏🙏
I have been waiting for this too long…LFG
KSO, I love when you get philosophical and give insight into what you personally have gone through. This was a fantastic insight because it is fun, I mean, it is KSO so of course it's fun, but it is deep and creates a conversation from the material and your own life. Thanks!
"Courage isn't made without fear". That is brilliant, dude! Great reaction, BTW!
I’ve been waiting for this bro 🎉🎉 get on more ten as he can spit them bars as well!! ❤
THANK YOU SO MUCH KSO!!! I have been waiting for you to check out some Ren. He is a MULTI-MULTI-TALENTED artist. He can rap rap, he can sing, he is sick af on guitar, he makes all his own beats and he has a crazy life story that has influenced his music. His story-telling is also NEXT LEVEL!! I found him like 3-4 months ago and he is now one of my favorite artists. You HAVE to check out his "Tale of Jenny Screech and Violet"(full version) and dont get turned off by the length cuz it is so worth it, "Genesis", his newest joint "Illest of our time", "Chalk Outlines", "Power", his stuff with the Band he used to play with called The Big Push -check out their mashup of "I Shot the Sherriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop", etc.. You really can't go wrong. Ren has so many crazy dope songs that I really think you would really fuck with. He does incorporate his life struggles so some are serious but he can also snap off and do some super dope Hip Hop. He is one of the most talented artists I've seen. Give him a chance beyond Hi Ren. I promise you will not be disappointed. Shout out Kso, Spilt!, J-Mo and the whole KBD Family!!! ✌️❤️y'all!!! SALUTE🫡

Tnx kso please more Ren.. goat artist
I love how ppl try different things to not cry in the last part: dancing, touching their face, quickly try to say something to just get rid of the first tear that will have more to follow. Too bad we can't embrace the feeling and just let go sometimes :)
Thank you for your honesty. This guy has been knocking around for about nine years, (I've been roughly following). Your reaction was genuinely beautiful! 💜
Wow this is the best reaction I have watched to Hi REN. Brotha you have just made my day. Your entertaining as hell but you also are so insightful in regards to life’s challenges. Seriously I’m absolutely subbing and I truly hope you continue on the REN journey. One love 🖤💛❤️
I LOVE your commentary. So insightful and hilarious. You missed the critical last line of the video!!!!! I so wanted to see your reaction to that line.
Finally 😁. I've been waiting to see you reacting to Ren. You are definitely going to get spanned with requests now but you will definitely enjoy the journey 😂
So glad you finally got around to this amazing artist. You have so much to discover. For his storytelling try his triology Jennys and Screeches tale (full) masterpiece For the beauty of his voice and words try Chalk outlines and How to be me both live versions For his group The big push try I shot the sheriff and road to zion Busking with Sam Tompkins It's a man's world. Rapping "The hunger","Losing it","Genesis" I could go on but you get the idea. Oh and his latest "Illest of all time."
"...unless you're Ed Sheeran" -- and I couldn't hit the subscribe button fast enough. Ren is a genius, a once in a generation talent. Glad you've found him, and so glad you really "got" him. Welcome to Ren's world, it's an amazing place. You will never be disappointed. He is always authentic. He's also one of the most fundamentally positive people I've come across.

Yeah, Ed's repetitive, predictable Pop music might be better for someone like this who couldn't even finish the song without talking over the dialog, and literally shutting the video off before Ren finished what he was saying. It was as if REN became the "beat" and this fool decided to rap over him. "Glasses on... All eyes on ME!"🙄
just subscribed. 1st time seeing you. Come from probably 2 different lives but your empathy and understanding is beautiful. Ren will make you cry and then stand up and pump your fist. We All Struggle
Just subbed, can't wait for the next Ren, you took this masterpiece to a new level of entertainment!
Duuuuuuuudikowski - this reaction was SOOOOOOOOO overdue! Enjoy the ride, my bro! Much ♥
Definitely dive into the Ren rabbit hole. You'll get a different vibe every time and he'll inspire you even more.
This reaction was AMAZING! I loved how you said hope is defiant. You are so insightful (and funny)
Great reaction. Subbed. ‘“Chalk Outlines” with Ren and Chinchilla (LIVE, gotta be the live version) is definitely one to put on your list. Also “Losing It” Fisher Rap Retake) shows off his rap skills and is such a fun song (and very unexpected for a rap beat). I’m sure you will be bombarded by suggestions but those two you should react to. Enjoy your Ren journey 😊
I've watched a thousand Hi Ren reactions and 3 minutes in, I know this one is one I was looking for. You didn't disappoint and I laughed out loud at least 6 times at your singular observations, something rare for me. Thanks! You bring up a good point: Can Ren boogaloo? A:Genesis
This is Ren’s breakthrough moment. He was pretty much undiscovered until ‘Hi Ren’ blew up a few months ago. Now finally getting the recognition his insane talent deserves. Great reaction and I’m going to sub because I can’t wait to watch you go on the Ren journey 😅 for rap check out ‘the hunger’ ‘sick boi’ ‘genesis’ ‘illest of our time’ ‘money game 1&2’ ‘losing it’ and to see crazy versatility ‘i shot the sheriff/road to Zion/hip hop’ ‘tales of Jenny/screech/violet’ & chalk outlines’ ❤🔥
Check out some of his rap - you will not be disappointed. The Hunger is a good intro to his rap skills
You play the fool, but you ain't no fool ❤️ it took you less than 4mins to get it ... The multiple layers to his talent, what the song is about. I love how this lad from Wales is touching people's souls from all walks of life. Great reactions, you have a new subscriber
Been waiting for this. Ren goes deep but he also has a fun side. This guy is so diverse his back catalogue spans genres.
You are the only reactor who truly understood what Ren was alluding to that we are both light and dark and that we need to acknowledge that we all have both sides and thoughts. You have truly walked that line, and you knew before he explained to us all that as humans, the endulum swings both ways. We can choose light or dark and do choose both every day in our daily decisions. One minute, we choose to be loving, and the next, we can make a selfish decision. You are special. Life has given you wisdom. There is no doubt you love fun (I want to party with you) but dont forget your wisdom runs deep. It is your gift. Don't downplay it. Thank you for sharing yourself. Cheers from Australia Mate 🤟
48 years on Earth...this man's a unicorn. Period. Thx Dipper you never disappoint good sir

I've listened to a lot of people react to this track and you have some genuinely unique insights - very well done
You are never too old to learn guitar, or any instrument. I started a year ago, at age 48, and I'm amazed how far along I am, just from taking a weekly lesson and doing the assigned practice.
Glad you enjoyed that, you should react to Sick boi next then move onto his Rap like Illest of our time and The Hunger, you wont be disappointed.
You have to listen to Ren and his band The Big Push, ‘I shot the sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop’👌🏼💙🏴

Rap rap, storytelling bard, poetry, rock, reggae, beatbox, busking, piano, drums, haunting vocals, edm, acoustic, electric, bass it's endless and all the while struggling from Lyme disease and having special treatment to change his neurological pathways.

I found Ren a couple months ago and I love it. I can't stop listening to him. Wish I had a CD for my car, yes I drive an old beater. But now, @KSO big Dipper, do sick Boi, power, and money game. All amazing Ren rips.
Always love KSOs reactions for his passion and energy but he really got this in it's deeper meaning, almost predicting the direction of the story before it unfolded, with some great commentary on mental health and psychology too. Wouldn't have guessed man is quoting Confucious!! Great reaction KSO.

Ride the Ren wave, don't waste time. If you want another bit of art, go Jenny and Screech trilogy. If you want to see him rap, try The Hunger first. He wants to be a rapper, bit he does most genres.

I guess it's kind of like when people in the 60's, first heard Paul McCartney and his buddies from Liverpool... 🤔
