It's amazing how a song this good has been buried so deep in his catalogue that I'm only now hearing it. And I heard a dozen new (to me) bangers of his today already. He's got a lot of great songs. And that beat was perfect, it let the lyrics be heard.
I cannot believe I just discovered Ren about a month ago. What an amazingly gifted talent! Haven't heard this song yet either, so thanks for covering it my man! Love your channel brother.
The Who did it in my generation, which he’ll have listened to - his musical refs are deeply historical, and also multi genre - love it. I hear Beatles, come together in the chorus.
@spruce381 He's a Master of Music if ya ask me! Very Deeply tied to all sorts! Just as any serious musicians autta be! In my 55 years as a rock guitarist... I've never seen anyone like him!
I know. I just learn of him a couple of months and I am still finding his music even his older ones. This is is like 8 years ago when he came out with this. But glad I found him on TickTok. Then came here.
Just wanted to say THANKYOU. for introducing his music 🎶 to me . 60 on Saturday and appreciate still getting to listen to great music. Ren and Sam Tompkins breaking generational barriers. Great music has no age barriers
So happy to see you react to older tracks too - Ren is fantastic! I think when he was about 25, Ren was so very ill - these songs definitely reflect his pain so powerfully!
It's sometimes hard and it's tough holding on. Holding on every damn day, what's the alternative? My doctor, yesterday, finally decided on a new medication for me to help with my pain of osteoarthritis that also won't damage my heart. So it's going to be another few months of holding on trying it out, hoping no side effects, and hoping for the best. My heart has issues so it's tough getting the right medication that is safe. So I understand Ren so perfectly and can relate, some days it's like he says just F it. Not getting enough sleep or some days no sleep at all! Sorry to dump all this here in a comment, but I am STILL holding on. 74 years young and in chronic pain all the time, kinda makes you wonder. . . . why keep holding on? Ren has a beautiful heart, a sensitive soul and a brilliant mind and I just adore him! Thank you Jamel for doing this one today. I needed it!
#Ada M. 67 yrs old here (young in my mindset n not so young my body) so appreciative of the truly independent artists...Ren is a once in a lifetime rare breed, who is reaching to ALL walks of life around this little planet called 🌎 He reaches down inside himself n bares it all unashamedly n reaches out a hand offering hope to those who desperately need it...His only requirement is to pass on the hope n spread the luv to ur fellow human being😊
@@RoxyKandyKoRn55 I agree wholeheartedly, He is like a box of chocolate, maybe just not as tasty, due to some of his thoughts floating around in his head. He surprises most of us with the skills he has that can draw you in. And he does DRAW you in, makes you LOOK makes you THINK makes you want to KNOW more. Ren is an enigma, although not a true enigma according to a "dictionary", since he tells us more about himself and his life than a true enigmatic person would, he isn't mysterious he doesn't hide anything. But he surprises most of us with his diversity. Thank you for your comment. I'm still holding on and finally gave up trying to be the "me" I used to be when younger, it's almost as if I am trying to catch and hold on to rain drops instead of relaxing and just let it fall as it's meant to do. Sometimes the bad days make me forget to just go with the flow, accept what is, can't stop the inevitable..
#Ada M. Same here...I really believe we all are benefitting from Ren on so many levels cuz we can relate/understand what he is saying in his lyrics...They are from what he knows, what he has been thru n what he sees around him...The lyrics are storytelling at it's finest...A true bardcore💝
Seeing your hoodie with " ... humble..." on it ... need to react to Ren's "Humble" if you have not done it yet. "Ocean" is also a good one with similar vibe. Appreciate your reaction!
Thank you so much for this reaction. What a great song for anyone needing to hear his message of perseverance in the face of adversity and despair. So right that Ren makes you want to keep playing the song even when the video is getting blurry from tears. This was a new one for me and the lyrics just blew me away. Keep up the great work and you have my subscription!
I feel his pain. Chronic illnesses take so much from us. It’s maddening. It’s a viscous cycle of insomnia, anxiety, depression, pain and the fatigue…. You see every part of the previous you slip away ,? You watch life from the sidelines… I’ve never resonated with an artists message as much as Ren💕
I want to say this is one of my favorites from Ren, but that's true for pretty much all of his music. The man just doesn't make a bad song. Great reaction ❤
Oh I can understand why. Lol I would do the same. I am going to buy his bundle CD sets and plan to get the others. He is putting some songs for his storytelling songs. Which is so different and I love it. Check out his site.
This is one of my favorite songs of Ren’s - on my “Chill Ren” playlist. FYI, just found this. The Big Push full concert Sept 2022: ruclips.net/video/8ffWxGRUZ0Y/видео.html
So glad you liked this! Even with the depth of content this song has a certain uplifting quality to it. I defy people to not want to sing along. Main riff reminds me of Depeche Mode
@@Clandestined13 You are delusional. You don't know anybody until you meet the person in real life and get to know him or her spending plenty of time with them.
That song has a lot of potential for alternate genres. I hear a hard rock version in my head. I can imagine a country version or a disco version. And that's really cool!
Man you're pumping out the Ren content bro! Love it ❤️
Love this track hey! So chill and full!

@woodywoodman2319 I am from a musical family, and I agree with you.
I'm mad at myself for not knowing who he was. He's a blessing which is what hip hop desperately needed. I love his music 🎶
I know. I just learn of him a couple of months and I am still finding his music even his older ones. This is is like 8 years ago when he came out with this. But glad I found him on TickTok. Then came here.
Such a VIBE!!!!
Like his song called Fire... it IS FIRE... for Real!!!! Bangers for the top-down road!
Just wanted to say THANKYOU. for introducing his music 🎶 to me . 60 on Saturday and appreciate still getting to listen to great music. Ren and Sam Tompkins breaking generational barriers. Great music has no age barriers
Happy forthcoming 60th. I turn 60 in about 6 months time. Loving Ren also.🦇

Good luck with the new medication! I have similar (but different) issues. Keep holding on! ❤
@@NoCanDu Still holding. :) Time will tell and a wait and see what happens. Thanks
I love the way his songs can be very deep and deal with difficult subject matter, but so often he emphasizes positivity within the same track.
Ya Gotta do Ocean and Humble!!!
Duets with Eden Nash!!!
Both aweaome!!
But Ocean gonna Blow your mind!!!
Every time I hear a different song from Ren it becomes a new favourite 🥰
Digging your trip to the RENaissance !!!!
One of my favorites ❤
Mine too.
Loving your reactions. You seem like such a kind, warm hearted soul. Kudos 🙏
❤
Ren has a lot to say indeed
Thanks bro ❤
Anyone else get Ini Kamoze - Here Comes The Hotstepper vibes from this?
Seeing your hoodie with " ... humble..." on it ... need to react to Ren's "Humble" if you have not done it yet. "Ocean" is also a good one with similar vibe.
Appreciate your reaction!
Talk about keeping great music alive😊❤
Yes... one of my Favorites!!!
One of my Top 3 Ren songs, it doesn't get the attention it deserves, so thank you for reacting to it, Jamel! 🙏
Please check out Ren's Fire! And also Ren and Sam Tompkins Blind Eyed (live MC sessions)
It's ok, Ren is just cool
Another one today! Fabulous, thank you!

1. Again, I love your reactions. 2. Ren is so authentic, that's what makes him special. Too many fake artist out there.
Can't get enough of Ren! Thanks!!!
The breath control on this one! Just try singing along out loud
"ONLY Love Like Bob Marley"!!!!
Love That line!!!

Loving all the REN tracks 🖤
One of my favorites but I haven't figured out why
THIS WAS PRETTY GOOD I LIKE BUT THIS IS CLEARLY HAS THE FUTURE D.N.A. FOR "SCHIZOPHRENIC" THANKS JAMEL_AKA_JAMAL ✌🏼& LO💚E MY BROTHER
I want to say this is one of my favorites from Ren, but that's true for pretty much all of his music. The man just doesn't make a bad song. Great reaction ❤
This is one of my absolute favorites! I love this song! Like you said - so much substance, plus the delivery and the beat makes this song just great!
I have been using Ren's music for all my gym sessions it gives me that extra kick to train harder... Thanks to Ren I am becoming absolute beast!
Oh I can understand why. Lol I would do the same. I am going to buy his bundle CD sets and plan to get the others. He is putting some songs for his storytelling songs. Which is so different and I love it. Check out his site.
You're one of the best brother! Thank you
"Ren-dition" Yesss! Perfect.
Great reaction as usual. The only trouble with Ren is I'm starting to feel like I can't keep up with all the tracks he's releasing. lol
This feels a bit like Eminem’s Til I Collapse, but less angry and more hopeful, if that makes sense
Shout out to you Good Human.
This is one of my favorite songs of Ren’s - on my “Chill Ren” playlist.
FYI, just found this. The Big Push full concert Sept 2022:

The most underrated Ren track IMHO. I can listen to this one over and over. In fact, I do!
Beautiful
Love it
Nike trainer blues = Nike sneaker blues. Sneakers are called trainers (training shoes) in the UK. Love the reaction!
I hadn't heard this one yet, beautiful song ♥ thanks for introducing me to this beauty
So glad you liked this! Even with the depth of content this song has a certain uplifting quality to it. I defy people to not want to sing along.
Main riff reminds me of Depeche Mode
❤🔥🍻

One of my favorites, love this one! ❤
Hes got a ton of awesome songs on Spotify
I love you, Jamel.
...your imagination of him
@@Io-Io-Io unconditional isn't an imagining
@@Clandestined13 You are delusional. You don't know anybody until you meet the person in real life and get to know him or her spending plenty of time with them.
@@Io-Io-Io now turn those words back on yourself and see your own delusion of thinking you know me.
Dude, have you become a Ren exclusive channel?
yep cause it dont get block
That song has a lot of potential for alternate genres. I hear a hard rock version in my head. I can imagine a country version or a disco version. And that's really cool!
Try 'Do You Believe ' by Ren. Heartbreaking 💔
