I recently retired after 43 yrs of being a therapist: working with teen & adult addiction, children of addiction, PTSD via childhood traumas, domestic violence, veterans in combat etc.. Ren has been such a breath of fresh air for me & so many people, I thought I might die before I would be able to witness moving musicians again like in the 60's/70s of my youth...then came Ren. I have recommended Ren to therapists & "patients" before I recently retired. I have watched & rewatched all his videos & at follow at least 30 reactors. From the beginning I have read comments about how Hi Ren & Sick Boi led people listening to Ren to go into therapy or to return to therapy, a couple even commented that after listening to Hi Ren, they chose hope vs. suicide death.

Men of different ages and backgrounds talking about mental health is something people have tried to normalise, and Ren has done that. He deserves recognition for this.

I am 45 years old, and for the last 30 years my body has been attacking my joints, resulting in the total fusion of approximately 30 joints/vertebrae and the soft tissue between my ribs. When I first heard Hi Ren, it gave voice to pain and depression that I have lived with. Ankylosing Spondylitis, my autoimmune disease, is so unheard of that it took 13 years to diagnose, which left me alone in my world of pain that showed no outward proof of its existence, even Members of my immediate family doubted me. They preferred the narrative that I was just lazy rather than try to fathom what was actually going on with me. So I stand here today just as Ren does, "made to be broken and beaten" in full defiance of my disease to let you all know, his words are a beautifully written echo of my life. I will finish this rant with this statement, The modern media should remember they live in a time where context is everything, before you start spewing false truths and misrepresentations to sell what ever BS political motivation is backing your channel, you used to be trusted and revered for telling the truth backed by facts, your words carry weight and consequence and you will be held accountable by the law and humanity. Ren, my brother, exercise your legal rights and keep on kicking @$$! @knoxhill, thank you for standing up for what is right!

Ren is raw, poetic, spoken, truth that touches everyone's soul with emphatic clarity. So, of course, they will try to censor him....love you Ren!! You coexist with everyone you touch. You are not alone..

I'm 42-years-old and suffer from severe Major Depressive Disorder and a multitude of anxiety disorders. These disorders have been treatment-resistant for over 20 years now, and have left me unable to work or function normally for 8 years. When I first saw the "Hi Ren" video a few weeks ago...something within me changed. Major Depressive Disorder leaves sufferers with a complete absence of hope. We feel alone, and the internal monologue from "Hi Ren" is what I struggle with literally every second of every day. I have to distract myself with music, video games, tv, movies, etc., just to drown-out that destructive internal war that's constantly trying to destroy my psyche. I'm not even a fan of rap (sorry...I enjoy a little of everything...but hard rock is where it's at for me), and "Hi Ren" has become a sort of daily therapy for me. It reminds me that there IS still hope, even though every fiber of my being is telling me otherwise. I'm learning to "relax...and to soften". I'm learning to view my mental illness as a "dance", rather than a "battle to be won". I'm not going to claim that it's cured me...that isn't possible with mental illness...but it's certainly offered me a perspective I'd never considered, and that perspective is helping me cope better and better every day. I WISH I'd heard this song in high school...or even in my younger teen years. If I had...who knows? Maybe I'd have been better prepared for what was to come? CNN should be ashamed. ANY critic of Ren's should be ashamed. He's done more for my mental illness with a single song than over 20 years of therapy and medication has, and there are countless others out there who can, and ARE, saying the same. #CNNisthedark #Renisthelight

In my small mind, Hi Ren has offered us an opportunity to actually talk about some of the hard topics that are in the video. Ren is a gem and we need to appreciate him and what he is doing.

I'm struggling with anxiety and depression...but artist like NF and ren help me get through tough times. I've thought about doing some really bad stuff myself, but they helped me get through it. They gave me hope

What bothers me is did they pick his song randomly or because it was trending? Countless artists have rapped/sung on mental health and way worse topics that you can say might "influence" the youth of today that listen. They didn't go after them, but a sick little independent that likely wouldn't give them bad blowback. I hope they weren't that underhanded, but I wouldn't put it past CNN or other media. Glad they are getting plenty of blowback on it.

This shows perfectly how manipulative main stream media can be and mostly is. Taking things completely out of context, to suit their agenda. Ren said it: Criticizing for the sake of criticizing, without any background knowledge. Pretending to care but completely missing the point. Not even bother to dive deeper into a topic or in this case the TikTok Environment

Just seen Ren's most recent response asking for an apology and signing off with Love and Cuddles 👌🙂

When I stand at a concert, music is an art that brings people across all types, together. The one thing that supports humanity. Understanding the lyrics, is a prime reason for one loving an artist, band, or song. I was recently exposed to REN...and instantly, fell in love. His music is methodical, well thought out and in my book, perfection. We rarely find an artist that can bring every type of musical genre together to make a statement...REN, is that exception. From a rock and metal enthusiast who questioned why her bestie was sending me Hi Ren, by the opening yodeling, to me grabbing a tissue and pursing Ren's other videos, that very moment after thanking my friend for sending me his video, I will agree CNN got this way wrong. Way wrong. I stand with REN, and urge his apology be given by CNN. REN will be an artist that makes a difference in this world...starting with the humanity he has managed to convey in each of his videos. The stories, the way his genre, whatever that genre may be called...is so far off my preferred listening genres, tells me all I need to know about REN, he, is an artist. A rare artist. If one watched all of Hi-Ren, one would know the message he personally conveyed in the closing of his video. A message of HOPE, and Humanity. Yes CNN, you owe Ren, an apology. You got this one, wrong. WE STAND WITH REN! I welcome his videos, his messages, his music, stories...I am a fan. For those focused on TIKTOK in the comments here, refocus. You are getting it just as wrong, as CNN. A kid, 14, should have supervision on their devices. The world is a cruel place for young eyes, but still...this has to fall on the parents to decide best for their kids. Addiction to social medias, that one is all on the parent folks...hate to say it...but you need to be monitoring your kids...not allowing the devices to parent your kid. REN hopes for one thing, I saw in his video he spoke about, he hopes to leave something behind people will resonate with. His songs, his stories, his work, REN, you have done that.

Have seen the video and although my kids are now in mid to late 20s and doing fairly well I immediately shared it to them it is a brilliant video and song. Fair play to you Ren, keep it up

You're awesome for talking about this. I know it's out of your norm, but it definitely needs to be pointed out.

We need people like you and ren that are okay with being in front of the camera and sharing your feelings through music poetry and through discussion that is meaningful. That's what the world is starving for and that's what mainstream doesn't understand and why they're fighting back so hard right now because they're scared because independent music artists are going viral every single day picking them out of the top spot radio is if not dead in your area seriously dying because they're so stubborn and having this mainstream acceptable view that they're supposed to push. The average American wants music that is both intellectual and entertaining with a good beat not a bunch of drivel

Ren’s music is exactly we need in the world today. We need more solutions. Great points Knox.

Thanks for the info Knox👍

I just saw “Hi Ren” last night. It really hit me hard. I’m a musician, too. All I want to do is record my songs so that when I am dead those who love and care for me can listen to my songs and, in those moments, be “with” me, again. That conversation he has with himself is the very type of conversations I have with myself. So many times, I hate this life, I hate this world. I want to give up, I tell myself that hope is futile. But, it is those few people who do care and or love me that keep me going. But, Ren’s message at the end of the song, really is helpful. I and many people try to fight against our situations instead of rolling with them, coping, and not allowing them to impede us. “Hi Ren” is not just a song, it’s not just a work of art; it’s therapeutic. I’m so glad Ren put his experiences to music and lyric. I’m so glad I finally discovered it. Hopefully it will help many others.

"I thought it was about baking cookies" That is a prefect take on what they decided the song was about. Thew way Ren ended his video was straight up a mic drop. Love this reaction.

Thank you, Knox. This is total bullshit because Ren really is bringing mental health to a place it can be talked about. YOU DA BOMB!

Just recently discovered Ren. The guy is an amazing artist. His performance of his song ‘Chalk outlines’ is incredible.

Beautifully said Knox

"Hi Ren" is a must listen for me at least once a day to keep me sane. The time we live in; at least in my opinion; is the weirdest time in humans history. When a person with devils thoughts meets a person without them, the person without the thoughts will say something along the line of "Get over it!". Sadly, mental health isn't talked about a lot still, it is surely better than what it was before, but come on.... some people still do not understand sh*t about it.

Thank you Knox ! I couldn't have said it better!

I hope this will cause people to listen to Ren more and see what he's Really saying. Ren is amazing and a great blessing to have among us

This has been going on for years. There’s always a band or artist that the media will blame for what’s going with kids or others with mental health issues. It was there before the band or artist came along.

#Ren 💙 his response was PERFECT! ❣️

Love this. People need to comment on this video and Ren’s video to get these videos out there so more people can see it. Love what you do man you’re awesome.

I liked the part where you filmed yourself rewatching the video with a smug look. That was so cool. It probably only took a a few takes too. What a legend.

Well done Knox! and one more sad thing about this over sensationalizing is that the news that we actually should pay attention drowns in the flood of news.

Just shows what we knew about news media in this current world, twisting and distorting while trying to divide us all. I know that for many of us discovering Ren has given us hope, reminds us of our humanity which in turn brings us closer together ❤️ Its what we want and need. As Ren says, we need to lift each other up 🥰

Respect & Appreciation @Knox Hill for doing this commentary.

I love Hi Ren! My son has had mental health problems. He is in a good place now, but it is never totally gone. Hi Ren is so true as far as what people with struggles go through. It is brilliant! Thank you Ren for such a beautiful song and message.

Ren's video is so good it actually grabs my attention and I've listened to it a ton. Music rarely properly grabs my attention and makes me listen to the lyrics. People like Ren and DAX and doing proper good in the world. There is so much positive on tiktok it's unreal.

Thanks for using your voice to get the word out!

Dude, i freaking love you man! Thank you for being a narrative lighthouse and giving vision in the fog.

Dude you should reach out to Ren. He might be on board with having a positive conversation about this whole thing.

Good analysis, well done.
