@@supertuscans9512mmmmm unless something has changed I’ll have to disagree there. Anytime a reactor somehow had their video blocked, Ren has EXPLICITLY told them to contact him and he’ll have it unblocked and no strings attached… he has always said he wants people to react to things he makes in full. No “deals” needed to be made. Hell, he does that because he knows his meteoric rise is because of his music being spread through the reaction channel community.

Ren will most likely see this and I promise you, he would much rather you show his videos all the way through. He loves reactors, and you may even get a shout-out. Great reaction, though! Welcome to the most diverse and insanely creative artist currently on the planet. This is very much the tip of iceberg...

Came here to say this. ❤. Also, great react. I subscribed. Def let the videos play. ❤
I've been around since you were music teacher reacts and just finding nightwish. I'm not sure I would classify ren as reactabait. He definitely has a big following just like nightwish or dimash, and reacting to him will bring "renegades" to your channel. But i think most people who react to him are struck just like you, by the raw emotion in the music. And the skill. He has a fantastic catalogue as well. Sick boi is a heavily produced rap song with electronic music, filmed in the same room. "suic*de" is an incredibly impactful song. The tale Jenny and screetch is a trilogy of live single take videos telling a tragic tale of London. Strong recommendation to react to this, he has them all 3 in a single video on his channel. Money game part 1, 2 and 3 are great too, social commentary on the world and capitalism. Part two should be the lyric video. And part 3 is a downright masterpiece. He also has some more signing stuff, chalk outlines and how to be me are great examples. And most of his stuff is live single take videos. Hi ren is obviously filmed with different angles, they did a handfull of takes, but the audio is recorded live with the video. But a lot of his other stuff is handheld camera and the videography is a work of art in itself. Edit: ren is independent and loves seeing people experience his music. He credits reactors heavily with his success. You can play his videos in full without risk of copyright strikes.
Wow this was an experience for sure thanks for making me discover Ren !

Ren's a super perfectionist and meticulously does all the post production himself. NOTHING in a Ren video is accidental, as you will discover if you explore his other 150 -ish songs.

As an example, his hard to do but a little "cracky" falsetto at the beginning over the simple guitar - was a bit amateur on purpose. Many are impressed by this bit when they first hear it, but a pro would say he is a bit restricted in airflow but pretty good for a self taught. But later in the video he sings the same bit a lot better. It does not seem hard for him to hit the same notes. All while playing a lot more complicated guitar. It takes mastery to play as if you are an amateur - on purpose.

@@wadadli4sun You're completely right, although the perfectionism I was referring to was his music production. His directorial skills are also extraordinary, but his videos contain many happy accidents (although I've heard Ren say he films most of his videos 15-20 times and picks the version he likes best - I'm guessing the bus and countdown only happened once, and that's the version he liked.) The guy is an undisputed genius.

As has been said Ren wont copyright strike you. Im a life long musician, great reaction. Here's some things you missed. The chord structure when his evil side fully takes over is the Devils Chord Progression in classical music, only one reacton has picked up on this and I've watched hundreds at this point lol. Next he doesn't play the last note in the natural chord progression at the end leaving the song open and unfinished, no one has picked up on that that I've seen. Lastly I believe, it is just my own theory, that the end bring back of the ooo ooos is both sides singing at the same time continuing the inward struggle. Watch the lights and shadows to see what i mean. Go down the Ren rabbit whole! Its a wonderful place!
Welcome to the Ren Rabbit Hole! I hope you stay and react to more. I'm sure people have given you lots of recommendations already, and I see into the future and know that you have reacted to "Mackay". I was about to give you some suggestions, but my problem is that Ren's entire catalog is extraordinary, and incredibly diverse. So have fun exploring. Even if you don't want your channel's focus to change, you owe it to yourself to listen to more Ren!
Huh. I've seen this pop up here and there both as reactions and requests, but have avoided listening to it until now. All I knew was that it's rap, which I don't usually like at all, but I absolutely love this! The only other rap song I've ever liked is Stan, and this obviously has some similarities, but the use of a real guitar and the other vocal parts make this steal the top spot for me as far as this style goes. And the lyrics paint such strong images that I could easily see this song used in a theatre performance. Now I definitely need to listen to the original version and to see the rest of the music video too.

Terrific reaction! Welcome to Ren!! You have just scratched the surface of the mother load of possible music analysis because Ren can, and does, EVERYTHING. Prepare to be surprised with every video. (No need to block the images. Ren LOVES reactors. He thanked them at the beginning of his video celebrating 1 million youtube subscribers, and included the line, "reaction super sized me" in his most recent video HALFTIME. If you ever get copyright issues with Ren - or any of the other AMAZING artists you've going to find he collabs with - just dispute it, and Ren will release the block.) You're in for quite a ride! Enjoy!!
For REN, this was truly his reality. Ren had misdiagnosed Lyme disease for 7 years by conventional doctors who deemed him mentally ill, but when patients are experiencing neurological symptoms, they very often become misdiagnosed. Lyme disease can present itself as many neurological conditions including Acute Transverse Myelitis[3], Ptosis[4], Seizures, and Chronic Fatigue[1] and these symptoms can be often misdiagnosed or deemed psychosomatic. Second is dealing with the symptoms of Lyme neuroborreliosis, these neurological symptoms often leave patients feeling drained and debilitated as they begin losing their quality of life. Over time, patients find themselves unable to do the things they love as they struggle to get ahead of their progressing symptoms.
"A rising tide lifts all ships" a favored quote Ren heard not too long ago. Thank you for your Reaction.
Welcome to the Reniverse! He is such a versatile musician. I encourage you to listen to more of his work.

Confession from a Ren Reaction addict. You really gave me a great fix❤ Ren has so much but The Tales of Jenny and Screech full version with Violets Tale is a must. He does it all. Many, like this one are live one takes.
I've seen countless Hi Ren reactions but this is honestly one of my favorites. It was more technical and analytical than most other reactions out there and I REALLY appreciate that. Can't wait to watch your eventual descent into the Rabbit Hole, welcome 🤞🏼😊

Love your reaction so much ! Ren will turn 34 on march 29th 😉 He has Lyme desease, misdiagnosis for a decade and he has suffered and is still suffering... But he has been able to project his music to the world despite all his horrible pain. He's a genius and plays piano, drums, bass... Song writer, poet, producer, he makes his own beats... So much talents, the rabbit hole is a world unto itself 😉 enjoy the ride, so worth it 😍 Thanks 😘
I haven’t seen your reactions in a while but I’m so glad you found Ren. He’s an amazing and very diverse artist. I hope to see you react to more of his music / Art. Thank you!!
The thing I love about Ren is his perfection of imperfection😊
Keys to the kingdom, man, that's what you have found in Ren. He's a gift to everyone that finds him. He is the most dynamic music artist working today. Just keep going down this rabbit hole. I suggest another long one to follow it up: the full 13-minute Tales of Jenny and Screech trilogy. Do the one that's all in one video. It's so good.
One of the biggest things I love about Ren is that he doesn't use pitch correction/autotune. On some of his other songs he uses some effects but in general he doesn't 'fix' his vocals, which is a big reason I think people gravitate to his voice so much. It's great on its own, doesn't need fixing & is very real & varied. His voice has soooo much genuine character & people are sick of hearing fake voices autotuned to sound inhuman, making every vocalist sound pretty much the same. We want human voices with all their unique characteristics back! Plus all the other things that make Ren amazing, of course.

I, like most, have watched over one hundred, maybe two hundred, reactions to HI REN. If it resonates you find yourself becoming obsessed with the art he has created, the shocking thing being there is so, so much to discover. He is, in my humble opinion, the greatest artist I have come across in my 45 years on this planet.
He was 32 when this was released. He turns 34 next week (29/03/24)
I can only recommend you checking out more stuff of ren! If you want more context to his illness i can also recommend you going back to the hi ren video and reading his comment. it explains a lot more than the monologue he gave in the video.
All disharmony is absolutely intentional. Every detail is thought out with Ren. Please do more #Ren
So.... You've never heard of Ren? 😂 Love first reactions for this... It's been a while. If you play it, they will come... RENagades ❤
Maybe NOT more Ren......but why? He is in his own lane and excels at instruments, singing, rap, story telling. He is independent with only help from his talented friends. Most find him and never leave except to take mental breaks. 😂
Just stumbled on this video in my daily reaction listens. And of course I'm a huge Ren fan ever since hi ren came out over a year ago and I've watched so so many hi ren reactions. It never gets old. You can't get the feeling you had when you first heard it but you can get the feeling by watching other people's reactions to it so I watch them a lot. As do most of my renegade family. We've grown together as a group of strong Ren supporters and love seeing others fall into the spell of Rens genius. Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole my friend. I promise you have a long way to go.
Great reaction, man! “What is happening?”-definitely something said often when listening to his body of work! He’s 33 years old.
I came for ren.. love your reaction! Yes do more ren! Check out the full version of Jenny and Screech with Violet's Tale.... Ren and chinchillas Chalk Outlines or how to be me... the acoustic version of murderer and original..... The acoustic version of animal flow and the original... The hunge..r the illest of our time... His band The Big push has some great originals and busking stuff... I absolutely adore Bongo bong and humble... I could go on and on about all the great music that Ren has. But yes do more! I'll be here for all things Ren
I implore you, watch Ren. A once in a generation talent. You are going to be blown away.. the rabbit hole is extremely deep. Buckle up, tightly.
For me Hi Ren was the very first time I've seen a music video and thought "oh, this is what art is" I've never fully understood art but I understand this amazing video!
2:14 you'll find Ren will frequently dash any expectations. He's a rollercoaster. Liked. Subscribed.
I first heard this just over a year ago. I had never watched a reaction video in my life. For some reason this artist has me hooked. His talent, diversity and skill set is just miles above anyone else. And watching reaction videos of this some i. Particular never gets old. I love watching others discover him for the first time. This will never get old. Thank you for an amazing reaction. I've just subbed. 😊
With Ren you are in for a treat. Cheeky, insightful, challenging and breathtakingly beautiful - never, ever dull.
MTR: is this reactabait? Me: brewing myself a cuppa. My daily entertainment is here! MTR: setting up the melodic themes Me: a wide wide crrp-eating grin of happy anticipation of someone else's shock....
Ren will be 34 next week. He has spent years dealing with health issues. He is a truly phenomenal musician. Self-taught on guitar, piano and several other instruments. Subbed for more Ren. The Tales of Jenny, Screech and Violet will also blow your mind 💜💜
Subbing for more Ren. You don’t need to do anything with the videos, Ren encourages reactors. If you check out his last short on YT you will see him thanking reactors. He watches loads and comments too. Any issues let me know, I have a contact to get you whitelisted. Here’s some info for you 🖤 🔥🔥🔥 .Welcome to the Renaissance! Ren is my favourite artist of all time. I say artist because he is a multifaceted diamond! From singing (all styles) to rapping (bars/flows/schemes for days), Bardcore (story telling) beatbox, makes his own beats, scatting and a multi instrumentalist (guitars, bass, drums, melodica and more). On top of that he is the most beautiful human being inside and out who has been through and continues to go through absolute hell. Ren is 33 from Anglesey, Wales originally but spent most his adult life in Brighton, England. He has been very ill for years, at one point being completely bed ridden. He was misdiagnosed for years, being told he was bipolar, had M.E and more and was prescribed medications that made him worse and ended up in psychosis. It turns out Ren had Lyme disease which has caused havoc on his body. He’s been living in Calgary, Canada all year receiving intense medical treatment for his brain damage and mast cell activation disorder amongst other things that were caused by the Lyme disease. He started off making beats at 12 and selling CDs then moved on to busking. He was part of a band called Trick The Fox and was signed to Sony but they didn’t renew the contract after his health deteriorated. He then started The Big Push. They went on hiatus the end of last year after 5 years partly due to his move to Canada and also because the other members are also soloists and were moving around too. I have a list of songs to check out of all styles.

You have found the doorway to a very deep rabbit hole. Ren has a massive catalog of fascinating performances with an incredible variety of genres. For Hi Ren, I love the consistency of using so many ways to distinguish the voices: lighting, posture, aggression vs passivity in voice and guitar playing, literally everything showing two distinct and separate voices. Another important detail is this is a live one take. He has a particular taste for doing single takes or minimal breaks, only when absolutely necessary. That alone raises the bar of professionalism and performance to rare heights. Not only his solo catalog, but also take a look at his busking collaborations with multiple artists and the catalog for his band, The Big Push. Some background: The Big Push had been signed by Sony, but Ren fell ill and ended up bed ridden, unable to do anything. He was misdiagnosed for about 7 years and finally was found to have Lyme's disease, from a tick bite, along with auto immunity issues. He is currently getting treatment in Canada. Another amazing note: He taught himself to play guitar watching Jimi Hendrix and John Frusciante videos on youtube and slowing them down. He didn't even originally sing or rap, he produced beats but couldn't find any rappers or singers to perform on them, so he just did it himself. ENDLESS TALENT

I’m not sure you’re entirely right about your time line. I’m pretty certain that Ren was signed with Sony as a Solo artist. The big push were formed some years later and were never signed by Sony. Ren , unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it), has to walk away as due to his illness he couldn’t hold up his end of the deal. The producer at Sony (and Sony) were pretty decent because they let him have the masters of what he’d done when forced to quit , which was a generous act.

Ren was signed to Sony at the end of his Trick the Fox days, as the Lyme disease was taking hold. He got too sick to leave the house, and the contract expired. Years later, when he finally had a correct diagnosis & got back to the UK from an initial treatment abroad (LA, I believe?) and started to see a first improvement in his health, The Big Push got together (2018, I think? Maybe it was late 2017). 👍

He is not signed to any large company, having gathered his own group of video and promotional assistants. He is self taught, and creatively superior to many artists today. His range of musical interest is wide, and he plays guitar, base, and piano. Check out the Ren ‘rabbit hole’.
Ren is an interesting artist due to his diversity because he is playing with many music genres and combining them. Going through his music catalogue is like opening a Pandora´s box...and his lyricism is poetic which makes him a tremendous storyteller as well. Another thing which is outstanding is that most of his videos are live recordings in one take. By the way he is a fully independent artist so there are no copyright claims because he is supporting reaction videos
Ren just posted a short, once mote talking about his love for reactors. He said, having spent so much time with a song production, when he watches reactors hear it for the 1st time and it's like finally he can hear it as close to the 1st time as possible He's a good ladd
Mwahahaha we’ve got one!
I've always particularly liked the progression in the "yodel" parts of this piece; the initial part is clipped and constrained as he tries to control all aspects of his inner turmoil, so it sounds precise yet strained and "sharp". At the end, where he has learned to accept both aspects of his personality, it becomes more organic, natural and powerful. The dance he speaks of in his monologue.
Nothing rips the heart out of a song better than dissecting it with analysis! 🐱
Ren is 33, 34 next week 32 when he filmed this. He speaks about difficult topics in order to shine light on chronic mental and physical illness.he is transparent and authentic, and very down to earth. He has adhd, and ptsd from almost a decade of misdiagnosed Lyme disease. He has lived in constant pain and the damage to brain and body the Lyme bacteria caused. He has been in intensive treatment for mire than a year and manages to produce track after track of great music. I recommend you react to Seven Sins, which describes his experience of illness, pain and psychosis.
you remind me of chris liepe, that understanding of music thing, your gonna fkn love ren bro
We are Ren followers because of the talent he projects ! Welcome I see you are intrigued do a little research into him as a artist, Would like to suggest another but he has about 180 videos out and I have only for a few that are good but just not for me. But the other 99% I love it and his talent is top shelf so to speak. For the man listen to his 1 million subscriber thank you speech. Then where you go from there is up to you. Try the tale of Jenny & screech trilogy ..
Yes.. more Ren.. He'll be your new fave, like everyone else. Not just for his music ability, but for his story, his character and work ethic. Just a good solid dude
Almost every video is a completely different genre, or musical personality. There is a lot more to explore musically. Apart from that Ren is a wonderful ride in a personal journey of discovery.
Ren is a performer above and beyond everything else. All his talents and abilities are impressive, probably top 1%, but many people do them better, individually. Ren is able to combined all those talents into an incredible performance (normally live), and he does it over and over, which puts him in truly rare air. Add in that he is doing all this as an individual artist, with no big pockets behind him, and it becomes legendary.
Ren loves and respects the reactors ! Please continue down the very vast and deep Ren rabbit hole
Nice reaction, you appteciated many levels. This man is an onion. Theres a giant rabbithole to go down with him. Read more about his actual life story, and his DIY type ascent recently (and going and going), and youll appteciate both him and his art more. He can play piano and write hip hop beats and is a very elite rapper. Lots of duets and plays with a band Big Push sometimes. Few suggestions: Trilogy (in full) of Tale of Jenny and Screech (and violet). Has to be seen as one piece for maximum effect. Chalk outlines (duet w Chinchilla) The hunger Seven Sins Suicide Money Game 1,2,3 Enjoy
So glad you are finally checking out Ren!! ❤❤❤
I've actually had a few people recommend Ren to me after finding out i like NF but havent gotten around to listening to him yet so this was fun. I only listen to clean music so probably won’t continue to listen to him but it was cool to finally get to hear him and get your thoughts at the same time!
Loved this, great job thank you, welcome to the Reniverse 🙏🦉❤️🐊👍
I’m here for REN. All day everyday. Great reaction, looking forward to many more.
That’s an awesome word to describe him! YES and MORE. He’s 33 or 34 and misdiagnosed lymes disease not only almost killed him but got him a decade in a psych ward. He recently stated he never imagined his greatest pain and grief could have ever turned into his greatest joy and success. He’s such an amazing musician. He does all his videos in one take. Like one shot no edits. He doesn’t really do post production and has stated more importantly, than hitting the note that is the feeling he put into the story he’s telling. Yes, you will do more Ren if you’re interested in someone that can write like Cohen play guitar like Edie Van Halen and sing like sting and rap and do reggae amazingly. If you want he has..
Really enjoyed your reaction. There's nothing unintentional about anything Ren does. I always feel like the vocal section at the end (the Queen of the Night section, I call it😂) is the integration of all his aspects, the "eternal dance" he mentions. 😊
Welcome to the ride! He is the master of one take lives, multi genre, lyricist, producer etc etc.and an all round wonderful human being.
Welcome to the RENaissance. I hope you decide to take the trip down the rabbit hole. The RENegades will lead you down the path…. There are some songs with more than one version and some that need to be heard in order. Enjoy the ride. The Tales of Jenny and Screech you will love.
Please check out the videos of Jenny and screech and violets tale. It's three videos combined into one. It also shows his creativity and his story telling is phenomenal in it. He is an independent with the potential to be a hyperstar. In my humble opinion of course. Thank you for the reaction. I'm one of the many RENegades who love his talent.
Good place to start. Take your time. renegades will flock to a solid reaction channel.
You can show the videos of Ren. He’s supportive & happy to have more people find him.
So glad you have discovered Ren. A once in a lifetime phenomenal Artist. A great reaction and will be following your adventure as you begin to explore the treasure chest of unique gems,that is Rens back catalogue. Enjoy 🏴👍
Welcome to Ren! I’m subscribed for more. You won’t make a bad choice so move through his catalog as it takes you. I suggest both the official video of Murderer and the live acoustic version. It really illustrates his ability to get every nuance out of his music.
awesome reaction! very happily subbed in anticipation of more Ren. much love to you and yours from the U.K.
You might wanna check out rens piano compilation. Hes soooo talented. Great reaction btw!
✌️💚 Great reaction 👏 He's a living genius - yes, he's vocals and range is out of this world & he plays several instruments... Loved your reaction. Saludos desde Valencia ✌️💚
Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole. It’s a very deep hole but you’re gonna enjoy yourself quite a bit.
Renegade showing up ❤❤
Ren is truly a once-in-a-generation (or several) artist. There is no one like him. You won’t regret a trip down this rabbit hole … the deeper the better!
Every part of the video, the background, the lighting , the camera angles and the musical tones are fully intentional, you notice the light on his right is flickering when evil Ren appears and it softens on the left when victim Ren speaks. you also notice that Evil Ren is more prevalent at the start when Ren says his Therapist TOLD him he was ill, but after the Bad Ren outburst section, Ren now speaks and accepts that he has spent half his life ill, the result is he has control of his demon (evident in the slight discordant undertone) and he is able to release his music loudly, confident that it doesn't have to be perfect. Thank you for reacting to this video, I am a deaf person and I don't always hear what other people hear so it is nice to have something brought to my attention. I recommend Sick Boi as an extension of this video, it explains so much about Rens past misdiagnosis and why this video was necessary to him.
More Ren please!
Damn I just went to go see if there was more but this was only 4 hours ago hahaha. I loved your breakdown!
I’ve watched countless reactions to this song. Hi Ren instantly moved me like very few ever have, one of those few being Father and Son by Cat Stevens. I got chills when you called it. Great Reaction, but that connection is one I will remember, never saw it coming! ❤
What an amazing video. Found you today and am already 12 videos deep. Really like the content. And if you would be open to more Ren, I'd recommend either the Tale of Jenny and Screech or Money Game Pt. 1 - 3 next, they are all masterpieces in themselves, but Money Game Pt. 3 might be one of the best pieces of art in the last decade.
