Many of us were introduced to Ren through Hi Ren, but the catalog is deep. Let's have fun!!! 🧡🧡🧡
I was through Down on the Beat that Spotify threw at me during excercising:-D I was quite surprised hearing his other songs you could say:-D...
It's deep like the mariana trench is deep.

Heretic is in my top seven Ren songs list. Gets better every time I listen to it.
Hey guys, Kujo didn’t produce Sick Boi. He produced the beat. He made it using a sample without permission. The owner of the sample came after him, and he went after Ren. Ren licensed the beat for unlimited use.
Thanks for saving me the time to explain.
Nutshell:
* Kujo sells beats through BeatStars.
* Ren bought one of Kujo's beats (unlimited license) and used it in production of Sick Boi.
* The beat Kujo sold had an uncleared sample.
* Sick Boi blew up.
* The owners of the sample came at Kujo for $$$.
* Kujo came at Ren for $$$.
* Lawyers got involved.
* Kujo issued a copyright strike on Sick Boi as leverage.
* Ren proposed multiple 'peaceful' resolutions (including a new joint track split 50/50).
* Kujo declined and demanded 100%.
* Ren took the song down altogether and chose violence.
Ren does everything.
Theatrical - Tale of Jenny/Screech/Violet
Rap (flexing) - The Hunger or Losing It.
Rap (lyrical) - Genesis, Seven Sins, Halftime (Nas Retake), Illest of our Time
Soul/R&B - Earned It/Man's World/Falling (live with Sam), Back on 74
Reggae - I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop (live red suspenders)
Introspective Rock - Chalk Outlines, Diazepam
Pop - Ocean
Enjoy!
Excellent recap 🔥 no notes
Great summary. Rap (flexing) also: Wicked ways, Seven Sins. Beat boxing / acapella beat: Loco. US Rap collabs: (With Prof) Pain Salesmen; (With Chris Webby) Baggage. More to come.
Excellent recap! I would add that Kujo was not only coming at Ren through lawyers, but was also talking shit publicly & lying about the situation publicly (as was his girlfriend).
Mission 10k? Go Renegades!!❤
I think it’s great 😊 I have followed so many reactors lately due to them showing Ren & appreciating his Art 👌👌
Yep keep reacting to ren you'll hit your target well quick
I can't wait til you see him rapping. Because holy shit he got BARRRZZ
Fuck yes!
Yea can’t wait for them to react to the hunger 🤩
Kujo sold Ren a Beat with an UNLICENSED sample in it and things went crazy after that. Check Rens page and watch his video explaining it.
Great reaction you guys! I’m 60 and Ren is, in my opinion, a once in a lifetime artist. Enjoy the ride!❤
I’ve been down the Ren rabbit hole for almost 2 years. In my 56 years no one has inspired me so much in so many ways. I feel listened to and heard and understood for the first time in my life. He has given me renewed strength and I have started therapy for a life time of trauma for the first time. My physical health problems I am finally starting to get answers for. I have started painting for the first time in over 30 years and actually can’t stop. Ren and the reniverse includes so many phenomenal artists who I now listen to and support daily. So much talent among them. You’re in for one hellova journey. I know you’ll enjoy it all and I’m here for it Great reaction, I love your expressions of surprise and wonder 🙌🏼🔥❤️
Hi, the short of the long of it… Kujobeats sold his beat on beatstars, Ren bought an unlimited license.. but Kujo never disclosed that it contained an uncleared sample (Bulgarian choir). The sample owners came to Ren for 50% of the publishing. Ren’s lawyer told Kujo that he would need to eat it, as he sold his beat in bad faith. Separate to this the publisher did not register Kujo correctly, so he has not been receiving his split of the publishing.. so when the Bulgarians came knocking.. he went to Ren’s lawyer asking for more, who ignored him (Ren in the meantime is in Canada treating brain damage and autoimmune issues, and does not know any of this is going on)… Kujo decided that the lawyer took too long to get back to him, so he copyright striked the Sick Boi video on YT… in order to get REN’s attention…. Ren then finds out for first time what is going on.. tries to reason with Kujo… explains that he has nothing to do with the publisher and that he has not “stolen” Kujo’s money.. Kujo and girlfriend keeps chatting “nicely “ to ren in private.. but then put degraded and untrue comments about Ren online (Ren has a video on his channel explaining everything and showing screenshots of whole conversations and comment sections… I would advise to look at that to understand the type of person Ren is.. and what happened).Kujo then uses the video as leverage to demand a £3k payment and 15% of the master back dated to when the song came out and into the future … which Ren refuses as he bought an unlimited license.. and Kujo did not disclose the uncleared sample (which he still claims is the performers duty to know about, not his 🤷♀️). Ren during this, gives Kujo many olive branches (one being to do a whole new song with 50% split on masters and publishing)… and Kujo refuses all these and threatens Ren that he will take 100% of the whole song (as copyright id was accidentally turned on, on the YT video during the distribution process (it was requested, and were turned off when everything was loaded)… so Kujo was now using this very small loophole to get “easy” money out of Ren. Ren then decided to pull the song from all streaming services (as it still currently had a strike against it on YT), as he does not want Kujo to use the song to hold him hostage…. He then released Kujo Beat down… and also said the he will re release Sick Boi with a new beat, that he produced himself…. After Kujo Beat down came out YT interjected and removed the copyright strike as it was done illegally…. So for the time being Sick Boi is back on YT ONLY… but it could still be pulled any day (depending on how the negotiations with Kujo is going)
So this is the very short summary of the 35min video and the complete mess (which included Kujo’s gf saying she will fly down to London to break REN’s kneecaps…. Does sound like she likes it rough 🤣🤣).
So I would suggest to react to Sick Boi next (whilst it is still available), then the Money Game trilogy… this would get you somewhat caught up (but this excludes his beyond remarkable storytelling… that he is getting very well known for (the tales).. his busking days with his band (the big push)… or all the remarkable collaborations he has done sofar (including Webby, Sam Tompkins, Chinchilla to name 3)…
This rabbit hole is deep… and he very shortly going to start dropping his next project called Slaughterhouse… so you can’t take too long to catch up 😊
That's the short of it..😂😂😂 Fair play tho😂😂
Best and most accurate summary of this mess! Do you mind if I repost this elsewhere quoting you?
@@Anuta6675 hi, sure… I only had it in me to type this out once (on my phone) ☺️ but you are more than welcome to share!!
This is 100% correct!!!
So many people appear to be confused as to who the choir actually went after. The majority of the people out there seemed to have missed the fact that Ren said the choir went to HIS lawyer demanding the split, and his lawyer went to Kujo. I keep hearing people say they went after KUJO because of the sample, like I think probably about 90-95% of the comments I have read on the interwebs have been saying that. So glad to see that someone else was paying attention and also realized it was Ren they were going after, and not Kujo. Thank you for putting the truth out there!
@@arderasempre1 I know.. it’s like there are a 100 different versions out there.. people don’t listen anymore… that was my conclusion 😞☺️
I love that you are about to find out just how loved ren is in this industry, and by the end of your journey to kujo beatdown you will be fuming at how he was treated. welcome to the renegades.
Ooooh this was great! You’re starting to get him, aren’t you? I loved seeing the growing understanding and awe on your faces. And masterpiece is just the tip of the iceberg. Ren is a relatable voice for everyone dancing in the darkness as he eloquently, with all the authenticity of someone who is painfully familiar with it, lets us know that we are not alone and inspires us to keep dancing. And in doing so, Ren has literally saved lives with his art.
You’ve obviously already been recommended Sick Boi and I’m guessing plenty of Renegades will also suggest Troubles for more insight into his story with illness and years of misdiagnosis. I will just add a suggestion to check out one of my personal favourites that doesn’t get nearly as much attention as it deserves: Crutch feat. Bibi. It’s an older song from before Ren was finally correctly diagnosed with Lyme disease and was written after a breakdown following multiple emergency trips to the hospital. It is heart wrenching and stunning.
And a little help to guide you on your journey: While I’m sure plenty of people will tell you to react to the trilogy of tales in the correct order, it is often overlooked that there are a few other songs best done in order of release (though doesn’t have to be in one sitting): Freckled Angels -> Suic!de -> For Joe.
Also if you want to understand the man behind the art (and why we all love him so dearly), check out his 1m subscribers video on defining success. Ren is not just a brilliant artist but a genuinely good human being who wants to inspire positive change in the world.
Hope to see you deep down the Ren rabbit hole with the rest of us 🐰🕳️
Crutch hurts me so much everytime ... even just hearing the 1st note or 2 ... I have to be having a strong day or I fall apart especially to watch the video ❤
I agree that Crutch, in particular, is a must to see. I would also add Precious to that list.
Found you on my daily hunt for Ren reactions 😂 I came down the Ren Rabbit Hole January 2023 & I have no intention of ever leaving. Love the vibe of you two so I've subbed in the hopes you dive straight down after us all. It's like aladdins cave down here & Ren being the beautiful soul he his has captured the minds & hearts of so many of us worldwide. Its been the best 18 months or so of my pretty troubled grown up life & the communities of beautifully mostly broken humans that have been created because of his music have become support groups we didn't know we needed & lifelong friends. It's a beautiful world & more tolerable after Hi Ren & all that has ensued since. Much love from somewhere near Liverpool U.K ❤
You also have to understand that he thought he would die young, which makes the lines about him being remembered when he is gone hit so much harder❤
Buckle up boys!
The rabbit hole is a deep and winding place with surprises at every turn.
I was lucky enough to watch him perform this at the end of July in Huntingdon at the Secret Garden Party. A lot of tears were shed that night 🥹
Yeah, Lyme totally functions in autoimmune fashion. The treatments they gave him, they made all sorts of mess while totally not opposing the Lyme. I can't imagine his pain as he suffer 13 years like that, crazy. This GUY IS DIFFERENT.
I'm a big fan now. I subbed. You guys were great. 😊. It's so fun to watch you enter the Ren story from the end with Kujo. However, your destiny is to experience LOSING IT. It's my favorite rap song now. It even has Beast Mode.😮
Yessss Losing it is definitely one of my favorite fun songs, and one of my favorites to to reactions to (atleast it is when they catch the references lol)
@@deedii92 It has Beast Mode...and it's for real.👹🤯🤩
So excited for you guys. Welcome to the family!
Agreed ... it starts with Hi Ren ... Oh, this is going to be a fun journey now that you have found Ren ... and the Renegades have found you too!!!
On Ren's channel he has 8 chapter that tells his story in his own words ... also RUclips has several good interviews. I really enjoyed your review. More Ren please :)
You haven't even scratched the surface of his talent.. The genre is Ren. For his storytelling try the tales triology Jenny and Screeches tale (full). For rap try Hunger or Genesis. For busking with his band Big Push try I shot the sheriff and road to zion + hip hop the red braces version.
He absolutely _did_ record the video live. 🌹
If you'd like to check his rap chops, you've got a bunch of great options.
Fun facts for this video:
* This is recorded in the same space as his video Sick Boi (just recently re-instated to YT - that's a whole story in itself)
* The song was recorded as a single take live for the video
* The video required 2 takes because the handheld camera couldn't be used while recording with the stationary cams
* They only got 4 takes before being kicked out of the space after people upstairs complained about the noise
* The stage light on the right is brighter, making the shadow on the left darker
* The lights only flicker when Dark Ren is active
* The song starts with Light Ren playing and being interrupted by Dark Ren, but ends with both Light and Dark Ren singing - and dancing - and playing in harmony.
Yes, a live recording but not a single take video and never intended as such. The final video was edited together from the four takes they did as both Ren and Samuel have explained in interviews. Audio was single-take though.
Fun fact: Rens last album "sick boi" went #1 in the UK last year. Loved your reaction to this one 😊 I'm here for Ren but also for you guys. I'm liking the vibe of your channel. Much love ✌️
Edit: He does have a video explaining the whole Kujo situation on his YT channel btw
Hey guys so glad yall stumbled onto Ren. He has truly been life changing for me and brought me so much hope. If you didn’t know, Ren has chronic Lyme disease, hence “sick boi”. As someone with chronic Lyme as well, I can tell you that this disease is no joke. It’s taken over a decade of my life, I’m 24 and currently bed bound because of it. I’ve been all over the world for treatment including Germany, New York, Idaho and am planning to go to either Mexico or Panama next. It’s expensive and painful, every treatment makes it worse and then you have to detox and do it again and again until hopefully something sticks. Ren’s story and his art are powerful and the fact that he is able to be creating the way that he is is a miracle in itself. So glad you guys are spreading his music and enjoying it! He’s far beyond talented
As a woman of 46, who has lived with fibromyalgia for 30 yrs...REN is important to us. He puts into words what our souls have been screaming. This song and Chalk Outlines especially speak to me.
Nice reaction guys. I think you got a small glimpse of Ren's talents. His catalog is deep and diverse. He is an amazing solo artist, but he's also a genius collaborator. He's magic in a band (The Big Push - adult Ren or Trick the Fox - baby Ren). It's ALL good stuff. Ren IS music.
Love ur reaction guys welcome to rens world and yes live one take just like most of his stuff
Ren bought the beat from a third party to use as he saw fit.. when the song blew up kujo wanted $ and it gets crazier from there
Hi REN was literally life changing for me!! He will surprise you at every turn!! Much love 😊xxx
Been a Ren fan for 5yrs... finally he is getting his flowers x ❤️🌹
Ren is FKN awesome on so many levels
great reaction, renegade here for it! im so glad ur diving in for it. thank you so very much!!!
always subbing for Ren!!
Buckle up guys. A once in a generation talent. I’m 67, I put him up there w greats through my life.
Been a fan since hi ren came out ren and he work is just beautiful
you guys should give genesis a listen you get to see more of his rapping in it
Thanks for a great reaction 👍❤
Welcome to the world of Ren. A roller coaster ride through emotions, wisdom, musical genius and genres.
Ren is a Welsh multi-instrumentalist and producer. He sings, raps and writes his songs, lyrics and video scripts himself.
Some brief information (Some has already been posted by others):
Ren Eryn Gill was born in Wales in 1990. He moved to Brighton in 2013 and did a lot of busking. He studied music performance at Bath Spa University. In 2009 he became seriously ill and had difficulty attending lectures. In 2010, he was signed to Sony Records. However, as his health continued to deteriorate, he had to terminate the contract.
Ren was initially misdiagnosed with depression, bipolar disorder and chronic fatigue syndrome, which led to him suffering from psychosis. It was not until seven years later that a doctor in Belgium finally diagnosed him with autoimmunity and Lyme disease, which led to brain, organ and joint damage as well as PTSD. After stem cell therapy in the United States, his health improved considerably. However, he continues to suffer greatly from his illnesses. For over a year he was undergoing treatment in Canada. A few month ago he came back to the UK to play hist first concert after five years (look for The Secret Garden Party). Not sure were he's now.
In October 2023, his album "Sick Boi" was number one in the British album charts.
On his RenMakesStuff channel you can find an autobiographical reading about his story in eight chapters. From the end of his friend Joe over becoming ill, getting and losing the contract with Sony, via his odyssey through various diagnosis and attempts of treatments to becoming at least better after his stem cell treatment. Absolutely worth watching. You will understand his songs even better afterwards and they become even more intense. Very personal and emotional videos.
His song Troubles is a kind of condensation of these readings.
I just saw your Hi Ren reaction, and put this journal entry of Ren's as my comment to that reaction.
jAN 01, 2023~~~rEN~
Up until I was 9 years old, I would intermittently hear a voice in my head that was not my own. The voice was distinctly different to mine, and always negative. It would self criticize or urge me to do things I knew to be morally wrong. The most peculiar thing about the voice was that it took no effort on my behalf to produce. My own thoughts always felt like there was a process that required effort to bring them to the forefront of my mind, this voice appeared as though it was spoken by another. The sentences felt predetermined like they had already been constructed.
I remember very vividly at 9 years old, becoming very frustrated with the voice. I stood in my back yard, internally screaming at the voice to be silent again and again, and it did. In a flash there was silence, to the point where my head felt like an empty room. I wasn't used to the quiet and that voice never returned. It almost felt lonely in my head.
When I got older I had intermittent bouts with auditory hallucinations where I would hear perfect symphonies, usually at night when drifting off to sleep. They were so clear that they sounded like they were emanating from a radio in the corner of my room. I knew they weren't there, but for some reason they never came with the feeling of fear. I also recall sitting on a bus at the age of 15, and hearing the sound of a crowded room, with about 100 voices chattering away, I was the only person apart from the driver on the bus.
These experiences were always very brief, and few and far between.
My last hallucination was during an intense bout of psychosis in 2015, and was my first visual hallucination. I was walking down a pavement after jumping out my mums car in a crossroads in a moment of frustration and distress with my condition. I was trying to run from myself. What appeared to be a homeless man with a dark complexion approached me, and asked me what was wrong. I explained that I had been sick most my life, and I wasn't sure I had the strength to continue. He looked at me, and smiled and told me 'everything is going to be okay in the end Ren.' I had not told him my name. There was something so overpoweringly sincere about this very simple message, which brought with it an overwhelming feeling of inner peace, and in a flash, he vanished.
My rational brain always linked these experiences to what the doctors have told me, that there are parts of my brain compromised by the autoimmunity in my body. That the myelin sheaths surrounding the complex electrical system that conduct my thoughts were damaged and compromised, causing these lucid experiences that I knew did not exist inside the physical world.
The part of me that edges away from logical and rational thought always attributed these thoughts to some kind of otherworldly intervention, that made my thoughts the battleground of some spiritual tug of war.
For a long time I never really acknowledged this part of myself, for with it brought the danger and stigma of sounding like a crazy person.
I decided with my latest release, to the best of my ability, to capture and express this chess match of thought.
Hi Ren comes out in just over 24 hours.
I can't wait for you all to hear it.
There is actually a live version of this done in front of an audience. Nice reaction! Welcome to the rabbit hole.
Also to understand Ren you should watch Troubles.
❤ This humble genius does it all! It keeps getting better my friends! And he surrounds himself with people almost as talented as he is. But Ren...is special!
I am one of RENs over 50’s fans and when I hear him I think of the old saying “ It is better to be a warrior working in the field, than a farmer on the battlefield.” REN is a warrior with the pen, he chooses to make meaningful art with his craft, he has discipline and uses his pen wisely. Now, as any warrior knows, you can’t always come to a peaceful agreement, which as you stated he tried, so now it’s war. NEVER mistake a peaceful man as a harmless man, you may get your butt handed to you 😊
Sick Boi, The Hunger, Genesis, Animal Flow, Losing It, Illest of our Time, Murderer, Wicked Ways, Seven Sins, Money Game 1 - 3, Love Music part 1 - 4, The Tale of Jenny and Screech the full version, Ocean and Humble with Eden Nash, Chalk Outlines and How to be Me with Chinchilla and so much more! #Renagades
I saw this live at SGP. He opened the show with "Hi Ren". And I was so overwhelmed to be there, can barely remember. It was magical. Can't wait for the recording to be released.
16:14 There is no one video that can give you an insight into what Ren is about. Every item is different
Ren is king of the live one-takes
Brief Ren bio: at 17 he contracted Lyme disease...was MIS-diagnosed with "mental" problems...given psychotropic meds that wrecked his physical and mental health...luckily, he received the correct diagnosis...has been in treatment for years and may be for life ...........thank you for your comments ! I think the Pig/Butcher represents Ren's opinion of many doctors and therapists......the discordant guitar & vocals and the wildly blinking lights express Ren's internal chaos........
If you want to know the whole story behind kujo beat down ren has a 35min video explaining the whole situation on his channel and he brought receipts. I encourage you boys to check it out.
😂 Your faces when you realised he was singing this live - fun fun fun! Gonna sub for more Ren. I can assure you, you won’t be disappointed. Thanks for your reaction. ❤
Renegade here for it!!!❤️❤️❤️
You gentlemen are correct. This is part of his story (real). Sick boy was a spectacular song. Incredible lyrics and was absolutely sick (pun intended).
He is multi talented, multi layered. The band he fronted The Big Push was amazing. And Sam Thompkins duo whilst busking is phenomenal. Only 3 other artists have blown me away in the 50+ years I’ve been in the planet… Whitney, Sade and Michael Hutchence and yet their singers. Ren has it all music wise, you’ll see as you go down the rabbit hole as Renegades
Ren did it LIVE in a CLUB on Stage. Just search for: Ren - Hi Ren (The Other Songs Live at KOKO)
welcome to the rabbit hole of Ren... Yes it was live. He is known as the king of the one takes... Multiple camera's but done in one full take. I am 63, ex pro musician and this young man is a generational talent! Overcame incredible odds as he was extremely sick for many years due to a misdiagnosis>>> he had Lymes disease and was mistreated for years! The Huger, Losing it, Money games.... Anything in his catalog is amazing
Thank goodness I was about to go to bed. I’ve been waiting all day for you guys!
Leeann, we're loving you right now!
Maybe consider doing Ren's life story as he explains in 8 separate chapters. You can do one a day or so. You will have no questions after watching. And don't worry about your 10K before the end of the year...
Loved it guys! Here to see you fall down the rabbit hole! Ren is a one in a lifetime artist. Subbed
What are you guys looking for? Rap, reggae, deep sad songs, fun songs, story telling.. ? Ren does it all. All you have to do is ask and the Renegades will be happy to lead you down the right path. Have fun and welcome.
Really enjoy watching someone new appreciating the genius of Ren! The guy is a breath of fresh air, a musical Shakespeare. He went thru' a lot battling health issues and his music comes straight from his heart & soul to ours. His versatility is something to behold for sure. Lyme disease is BRUTAL and our hearts are always with Ren as he continues in his treatments & health challenges. ❤️
If you want to see the lighter, more fun side of Ren try Back on '74/Message in a Bottle (AMAZING backing vocalists & Ren's singing chops on display). Losing it another fun song.
Ren's acting abilities are as impressive as his musical abilities. The guy is FASCINATING and UNIQUE!
So much to see...ENJOY!
♥️
Make that +1001 (or so) Subs 👍. Renegades always show up in force & support! Was waiting to see if you guys would follow up Kujo Beat Down with more Ren & happy to see you have. I've literally watched HUNDREDS of reactions to Hi Ren since it first came out, and this has been one of my all-time favorites. You guys have really engaging personalities, and I'm *really* looking forward to seeing more.
We love this. Thank you so much ❤️
Welcome to life after Ren! Check out his band The Big Push and duets with Chinchilla and Sam Tompkins. Sit back and enjoy the experience, we'll be waiting, watching and re-enjoying Ren. I tell people Ren is my therapist and these reactions are my therapy sessions. lol
Also, in case you haven't heard, Ren loves reactors and considers reactors part of his marketing and allows them to monotize. If you ever do a reaction to his 1 million subscribers video (you should, it's amazing) he gives reactors a lot of credit for his success.
Where is this video?
@@thedreadinitpodcast ruclips.net/video/0GeheniEoNg/видео.html
@@thedreadinitpodcastit's on YT. Definitely worth a watch. Recognizing his platform is literally reaching a million pairs of ears (& still climbing, working on almost doubling that now), he prepared a short, but powerful speech for his viewers (it's like a 5 minute video). It gives so much insight to his character & heart. It is quite awe-inspiring & encourages self-reflection. It is his attempt to reach the masses & make people think about their lives & how they interact with the world around them (my words, not his).
You should react to "Money Game part 3" if you want to see his actual masterpiece. It views more like a Broadway play (chef's kiss). If you are interested in more of his own story take a look at "Troubles" which is more traditional rap-rap. "Half-time" is a Nas Retake where he pays homage to the greats of rap's past which shows just how much knowledge of old school hip-hop he possesses. And, for epic story telling, watch "the Tale of Jenny and Screetch", as well as "Violet's Tale" directly after (for a total of 3 parts) which will leave you speechless. Enjoy!!!
The full 12 minute Tale of Jenny and Screech is the most artistic piece of music work I have seen
You guys have goootttt to react to Ren's old band, The Big Push, performing I Shot the Sheriff.
preferably the version with road to zion and hip hop
Well, the good thing is this is my first introduction to your reaction channel! And, it is with the most epic 'Hi Ren'. Yes, this was live. Basically, they had 30 minutes to get it right. They made it through 4 runs. Ren chose the audio that was fully live. The video shots were pieced together from all 4 playthroughs. Ren is wearing a lapel mic and the guitar has a mic in it. I believe one of the cameras may also have had a mic. Other than that, they have 4 lamps and a wheelchair.
Inloved your reac to kujo beat down i was absolutely cracking up because it would have just been wtf on a different level 😂. So im so happy to watch your journey into ren. You are going to get a lot of wtf moments 😂❤
I think you guys would love Ren and his ex band version of I shot the sheriff/ road to zion and hip hop. He can sing ANYTHING with endless tonality and his rapping can do any flow and cadence and rap 200bpm with amazing alliteration and cadence clarity plus every other genre and countless instruments (even a melodica) and amazing actor, producer, song writer, beatboxer 😅 Ren is endless top tier talent from old skool beastie boys esk to Elvis and everything inbetween. Welcome 🙏
You are going to get so many fans now doing the Ren rabbit Hole and you know what, you deserve it
"There's a story behind Kujo Beatdown"...
Boys Ren has TONS of stories to tell. Buckle up. This is going to get wild.
A great reaction guys, if you gancy a real shock Ren was part of a band called The Big Push you should check out their mash up of I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop mash up live busking video make sure its the one where Ren is wearing Red Braces (or Red suspenders for your American viewers).
He contracted Lyme disease when he was 19/20 but he was misdiagnosed with several other conditions and the "treatments" for them, along with the undiagnosed Lyme, ravaged his body and brain for 8 years and led to psychosis. He was finally diagnosed with Lyme and had a stem cell transplant but the damage had already been done, he was in Canada receiving treatment for the brain damage until very recently, he's currently back home in the UK, and absolutely smashing it 💙 he's an inspiration he really is.
Welcome to the world of Ren, it's one hell of a ride!!
Awesome reaction! I think the next one you should do is the tales of Jenny, Screech and Violet, the full 13 minute video 💙
This is one of the better new wave Ren reactors. Kudos @thedreadinitpodcast subscribed.
Subbed, thank you for supporting REN 🫶🏼.
Buckle up guys, the ride with Ren is wild & fun! Soon you will be full blown RENegades ❣️
Just gained another subscriber! Gentlemen, excellent reaction, and I love that you are supporting such an incredible ARTIST.
Really enjoyed you both, and look forward to seeing what else you all do!
Much love and respect! 🖤
Loved your reaction! You really got it.. I'm here for your Ren journey.. He's got bangers too.. "Genesis", "Illest of our Time" and "The Hunger". For more like this try "Tales of Jenny and Screech", "Chalk Outlines"
Welcome to the wonderful world of ren, where you can always expect the unexpected 😊 subbed! 💜💜
from the middle of the Indian Ocean for, sincerity and simplicity of your reactions!!
Sincerely! Thank you!
Ren is an exceptional and original artist in the current music world!
A universe diversified in content and forms!
Keep it up!
He has a playlist with 'chapters' where he tells all the key points about Ren! He's just amazing!!
I saw a comment earlier that you guys started the REN journey at “the end of the book”! Wow.. starting with the rage of the Kujo Beatdown! Talk about whiplash! (Kujo sold REN an uncleared sample and held him hostage about it demanding money). REN despises greed. He’s the kindest independent artist ever and a huge Reactor supporter….Now, you’ve seen Hi REN….begin your journey 😂. His art is indescribable and I’ll be here to see you join in!!❤. Thank you!! You guys are tremendous!!!
if you want Ren on your channel you will need to join the MASSIVE queue
Yes my guys! Subscribed. Glad to have you on board the Ren rollercoaster! Just go back and listen to everything. Trust me 👍I'll be waiting
Enjoyed your reaction welcome to the Ren Train!
Yes, Ren did this Live and in ONE take. Most if not all his videos are done this way. This video took 4 or 5 attempts. There is also a live in-concert of this song elsewhere on YT.
Ren was mis-diagnosed for 7 years with autoimmunity, psychosis and metal health issues and ws treated for that. He was also told that it was 'all in his head'. He was eventually correctly diagnosed with Lyme disease - by which time the damage had been done. For the last 18-24 months he has been in Canada receiving treatment, including stem cell transplants, to try and repair as much of the damage as they can - and to try and stop it getting any worse.
The audio is indeed one take. The video however is spliced together from multiple takes.
We all should be proud that we have such amazing talent on these little islands of Britain.
Iam 61yrs from Manchester and I never expected to find this amazing phenomenon that is REN.
Yup, live. Bst of 4 takes.idk how many cameras. Samuel is a beast (video). Hello from USA. We claim Ren too!! 😂❤ artist of our time! New sub Enjoy the wild ride!! U have no idea!!😂😂
Live yes. Audio from one take. 3 cameras used. Video is spliced from multiple takes (not one) plus additional hand held footage.
💯
Welcome to the Renegades! So happy that you have decided to go down the Ren rabbit hole!
With regard to Ren's story, he was bitten by a tic and then misdiagnosed for years and years. The misdiagnoses and subsequent incorrect medication caused more illness, psychosis and brain damage which he is now receiving treatment for in Canada. To create the art that he does having gone through (and still going through) what he has is awe inspiring.
A lot of his videos are one shot live and done on a minimal budget. I am sure that you have been given plenty of recommendations but to be honest, all are incredible. I look forward to experiencing your journey with you.
Subbed to witness firsthand you two diving into the RENessaince, becoming RENegades, having a rollercoaster of emotions from different songs by himself and with Chris Webby & Chinchilla and to be a TDIP Family member 🥰
Just please recap Kujo Beatdown once you’ve gotten through a lot of rens catalogue. I promise it’ll hit better and compared to Dumb King Come King Dotta Diss, he went INNN on Kujo.
But yeah, you’re right. The choir came for Kujo for using their uncleared sample, so Kujo came for Ren even tho Ren already paid for unlimited use of the beat. Kujo Didn’t try contacting Ren in the first place just started running his mouth on social media. And Ren found out about the issue by seeing Sick Boi was Copyrighted on RUclips so then he deleted it of all platforms himself until the issue was resolved.
Kujo basically tried claiming money off sick boi that he wasn’t entitled to, then he switched up to wanting a percentage of his whole catalogue, Ren offered to make a song with him & go 50/50 split on earnings so Kujo would make more money from the Renegades views& streams than if he had any percentage of sick boi or his whole catalogue. Ren gave Kujo option after option and he rejected each one. Wouldn’t speak to Ren directly either it was all through the lawyers. Kujos girlfriend got involved faking and editing parts of the legal contracts for sick boi and posting them online which is illegal anyways. Threatened to break Rens kneecaps etc so that’s why he brought her into the diss cos she brought herself into it.
RUclips got involved with the copyright issue and Ren had a meeting with someone from RUclips (can’t remember the full details) but they understand it was wrongfully copyrighted and under false pretences so it’s been put back up for now, But I swear he’s still working on or is releasing a remake fully created by himself. So please do react to it before it may be taken down again. Sick boi means so much to Ren. It’s not just the song it’s the album title too. Kujo fcked with the wrong guy. He had no issue contacting Ren to say he loved the Track when it first released so why not a direct message about the copyright and uncleared sample? Anyways, that’s enough of me rambling I’m sure I’ll be corrected by other renegades if I muddled some sht up 😂
Really loved your willingness to inform yourself about the situation. There is a 30 minute explaination from Ren about the whole thing if you want it from the horse's mouth on Ren's channel. This was a great way to start my Monday morning, thanks chaps! Have just subscribed and look forward to you discovering just how diverse this unique artist is. Sick Boi, yes but maybe have a peek at some of his busking as well - my goodness there's so much to explore.🌻
Heading down the Ren rabbit hole is so much fun! Thank you! ❤️❤️
He is a very eclectic artist. Diverse. Challenging grouping in one genre. He has an intense mind and vocab.
You gonna learn soon enough, so I’ll just tell you, he doesn’t make ‘bad’ songs, he makes bangers.
Here for the journey! We love our boy, Ren. Great reaction guys. New sub! ❤
Oh man, this guy is gonna live in your brain for a long long time! The Jenny and Screech trilogy! The Hunger! Ren was in a fuck-off GREAT band called The Big Push (I shot the sheriff/road to Zion/hip hop - red suspenders 😂😂)! His collabs with Chinchilla and Sam Tompkins…. Subbed and loved the reaction
Just found you guys. Great reaction! Subbed to follow your journey into the world of Ren. I am very excited to watch you react to more of Ren and the amazingly talented friends that surround him. Enjoy! ☮️💙😎
Ren was bitten by a tick and contracted Lyme disease. He was misdiagnosed with schizophrenia and pumped full of drugs to try and “treat” it for a long period with cause lasting side effects on his brain and mental state. He spent years afterwards once properly diagnosed with Lyme disease trying to undo the brain damage done from medications he didn’t need, medications that caused seizures, weight loss, vomiting, audible and visual hallucinations and much more. He has a song called sick boi the is about the abuse he suffered during his times dealing with it the unfortunately can’t be heard rn unless you find a video of people reacting to it, due to the ongoing legal battle with kujo
you are going down the "angry" rabbit hole...his busking and rap stuff is excellent as well. very talented
OMG brilliant reaction…just your silence was enough for me. Enjoy Ren lads, he’s a gem. (I’d already subbed on your last one, so clearly enjoyed that too, 😂)
Looking forward to seeing you realise that you're watching a feckin GENIUS ❤️
