MASTERPIECE OF CREATIVITY!! Ren - Hi Ren (Music Video) | JK Bros REACTION!! 

Bros! Just had a chance to sit down and watch your reaction to my track, it really meant a lot to me watching this , and massively appreciate you guys helping to support and spread my work! Big up!!!!

One thing I haven't seen anybody pick up on yet is the fact the the spoken part at the end is the exact thing he told us throughout the song. He acted it out completely, the dance between light and dark. The more brightly his light shone, the more confident he got, the deeper the darkness got too and it bit back harder each time. Until he softened (he literally softened his tone of voice for the last verse) and learned to accept it was a part of his life, but he'd still come out on top

And this is a one take. Insane! Masterpiece! 🖤🫡

I have literally listened to this masterpiece all damn day, and I'm going down the rolodex of reactors

I have never heard 'Bro' said so many times in a row. lol

Good things to know about Ren: 1: this was performed live and audio is a single take…only took 4 tries. Video has a few cuts for closup shots, but the audio is continuous. Ren clearly likes pushing the boundaries of filmed musical performance. Jenny and Screech is 3 single 1-take moving audio and video performances. And before everyone yells at you, do a reaction to the full versions with all 3 tales. 2: Ren has been very sick for a long time. He was bitten by a tick and contracted Lyme disease. He was misdiagnosed for many years and treated for mental disorders and chronic fatigue syndrome instead of the actual disease he had. The combination of the psychiatric drugs he took and years of untreated Lyme disease left him in a state where he would spend 23 hours a day in bed. He was finally properly diagnosed with Lyme disease and related autoimmune problems and got stem cell treatments that made him feel better, but he is still quite ill. He wrote this song, Sick Boi, and a few others that haven’t come out yet, but is currently in Canada receiving intensive daily treatments so he can’t fully enjoy the success he is finally getting…though he has been watching reaction videos and commenting on them, so don’t be shocked if he drops by. 3: He got his start busking in London and Brighton, is talented in just about every facet of making music, and was signed by Sony right before he got sick. He was unable to produce music so Sony dropped him. He’s a staggering talent who writes performs, directs, sings, raps (Ren can Rap Rap), produces, plays most instruments, and and is clearly an incredible actor. Waiting for his first streaming series. 4: he collaborates with lots of other cool artists…you’ll enjoy his collaborations with Chinchilla. He also has a band called The Big Push 5: Go and read his community page…it’s worth it

Ren's music has hit our shores here in Christchurch, New Zealand. His beats are travelling the planet. Ren is flying globally in many ways. His music will shake up the world. 🌏

Generational performance, I'll always remember the first time I saw this

Next try "The tale of Jenny and Screech" full version by Ren

Well done Ren, not often these two are rendered speechless. Great vid guys

Bros.... thank you so much for checking this out. It's a gamble introducing a new artist, and I'm so happy it resonated with you as well as it did me.

I’ve been playing this on repeat since 8:30 this morning. It’s past 5:30 now. It’s been putting me in my place fresh each time.

Omg,,!!......🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 My mind just blew up......mind. blown. I love this~!! HI REN......!!!

OMG YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! was waiting.. Next Ren... sick boi .please

Great reaction. I only recently learned about Ren and have gone down this rabbit hole ever since. Many of the subjects, experiences, and emotions expressed in his songs touch me on a very personal level because I can relate to and identify with many of his struggles. A little background on Ren that I gathered from the internet. Ren pursued a career in music from an early age. In 2009, while studying music performance at Bath Spa University, he began to experience health issues and was struggling to attend his lectures. In 2010, he was signed by Sony Records and was working on an album when his health deteriorated to the point where he was unable to continue. His illness often kept him in bed for up to 23 hours a day. Ren was initially diagnosed with depression, bipolar disorder, and chronic fatigue syndrome. It would take seven years before he was finally correctly diagnosed with autoimmunity, Lyme disease, and brain damage. Ren eventually underwent stem cell therapy in the United States, which improved his health, but it has not been a cure. He is currently in Canada for more treatments. Ren is an incredible and unique artist; he plays multiple instruments, has great vocal ability, is an excellent storyteller, and is quite the philosopher and poet. From what I read, his videos are generally shot live, all in one take by his friend. I recommend you check out some of his other work. The trilogy "The Tale of Jenny/Screech/Violet" is haunting and has an unexpected ending; WATCH THEM IN THE STATED ORDER, as this is the flow of the storyline or just watch “The Tale of Jenny & Screech (Full)” which includes “Violet’s Tale at the end. It is another example of Ren’s genius and a master’s class in storytelling. Ren’s collaborations with Chinchilla (“Chalk Outlines,” “How to Be Me”) are beautiful and showcase his singing voice while addressing mental health. I would watch the official live music video. "Chalk Outlines" is one of my favorite songs rights now. Ren's personal reflections are threaded through many of his songs; "Insomnia," "Depression," “Diazepam," “Penitence,” “Dear God,” “Heretic,” “Dominos,” his "Freckled Angels" album, just to name a few, all deserve a listen. His song "Money Game" (Part I & II) is another recommendation. As a solo act, Ren performs a range of genres, much of it hip-hop/rap influenced, as well as guitar-based ballads. His performances with Sam Tompkins (“Blind Eyed,” “Earned it /Mans World / Falling”), Eden Nash (“Humble,” “Ocean”), Bibi (“Crutch,” “Ahiahiaoha”), Molly McKinna (“Penitence”), his former bandmate, Romain Axisa (“French Song”) and any of his performances as a member of the band "The Big Push" (which unfortunately broke up) are awesome and well worth checking out, both the busking (street performances) and their live recordings. Ren has impressive vocal and instrumental skills. He is one-of-a-kind and appears mature beyond his years. Ren just released his latest single, “Sick Boi.” In anticipation of his stay in Canada for more treatments, Ren prepared some music ahead of time to be released over the next 3-6 months that he expects to be gone.

Waiting for this .. its fucking art bro..!!!

Ren just got to Canada for treatment's a couple times a week & could be there for up to 6mo's... but he brilliantly pre-recorded song's/vid's & will be releasing them in due time. Thanks for reacting to this bros. Stay awesome, man. He's gonna love your reaction. Also... he literally visualized his lyrics. Tiny light in the back casting a darker shadow in front of the brightest light showing lightest shadow. Him being sickly/stiff, then loosening up. Standing (growing) & fluidly moving about in full expression while his feet stay planted. ((iMo))

Eeeek!! So excited y’all got around to this!!

I would looove to see this on a awards show live. Can you imagine the panning of all those in audience & "artists". Truly priceless

Awesome reaction guys, the tale of Jenny and screech trilogy is also just as epic it’s 3 songs that tell a story. Get on it guys can’t wait, much love from 🇬🇧.

Bless you ren Amazing 🍾 been in those shoes off years still not been listed too Bless You Ren your amazing genius love you Ren 🙏⭐

Guys, I LOVE your reaction to this masterpiece. You so openheartedly express your emotions. You're not alone, I felt exactly the same. I've watched a ton of reactions to Hi Ren, and it's truly amazing. There seem to be almost universal stages of experiencing Hi Ren for the first time: 1. Weird set. Saw maybe? What's with the pig? 2. Guitar skills! Cool! 3. [Ren's opening song] What the??? Where is this going? 4. Okay! Rappin! 5. [Therapy Ren speaks up] Wha-- wait a minute?!!! Angel/devil? Split personality? 6. [Gotta kill you if you wanna kill me] STOP! WHOA! This is... art. 8. Wow. Eminem! But not a copy, this is a unique voice. WHO IS THIS GUY? 9. [attacks on Therapy Ren get more vicious] Damn, he's totally slamming himself.... I know this from the inside 10. [Primeval Shadow Ren comes totally out] OH JESUS. 11. [Human Ren emerges, loosening the noose on the rope]

This is a one-hundred-percent live one take

Ren is magical, he has a laundry list of songs and videos. There are many many more, and he's not just a rapper. He's a true artist. Songs to check out by Ren: Jenny's Tale, Screech's Tale, Violet's Tale (all three are one video) Chalk Outlines (feat. Chinchilla) Sick Boy Fire reaction fellas, can't wait for you guys to go down this rabbit hole.

Struck by Ren ! I was waiting for you to find this masterpiece ! Thank You !!

I've watched almost all reactions to this... & yours is the funnest yet!.. I thank you men!.. & REN is about to blow!

I get an NF vibe from this guy especially with the multi personality 3rd person shit

Jenny and Screech!

You need to check out his new one sick boy won't be disappointed 💯

Great reaction guys... Ren is a genius can't get enough of his talent x

I’m so happy you reacted to Ren!!!!

I've watched a lot of reactions and there seems to be one thing in common. The silence at the end as the whole experience and message sinks in.

Gotta check out The Tale of Jenny and Screetch full, it’s a trilogy that will blow your mind.

yessssss this was so dope! you both gave Ren his well deserved roses thank you! His story is crazy sad and inspiring all in one! Misdiagnosed with Lyme disease for 10 years stuck inside living in complete misery and pain not knowing what was wrong with him, that would drive anyone of us mentally insane and for him to turn it around and use it to create masterpieces works of art in his music is amazing! You have to do the trilogy all in one! Jennys tales Screetchs tale and Violets tales, they all have their own seperate video but he released a 13 min video combining them all into one perfect video/song! Its another masterpiece just like Hi Ren cant wait to see your reaction to it

One of the best reactions to this EVER!!’ 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🩵🩵🩵

I'm only halfway through but... easily the best reaction I've seen to this song so far. Seeing your faces light up at hearing him reminds me so much of my first time hearing jennys tale years ago. You absolutely have to listen to the tales of jenny and screech after this!! ASAP PLEASE ❤❤🔥

I’ve been watching reactions on Hi-Ren and you guys ROCK……I’m a fan for sure……thanks

What a gorgeous reaction! Probably my favourite. It takes a good heart to recognise another and thats what you've done with the whirling prince that is Ren.

Im rdy for this reaction, prob number 21 for Hi Ren for me lol

Subscribing for the Ren journey. There is so much more and it’s all so cool!

Okay. Lmao. THIS was a fantastic reaction. Awesome. Y’all are too funny. One thing I love about the reactions to Hi Ren is that EVERYONE reacts to the intro like: wtf? But then the ending is the same vocalization and EVERYONE is now rocking out. Y’all did it too. So great. SUBBED! ☮️

Everyone is speechless after this incredible song. Love the reaction, authentic and real!

Yay this is soooooo good!!!!

Ayyyeee love you guys! Should definitely check out “the tale of jenny and screech” by ren next!

I held off watching your reaction until I was done all others This is my favorite reaction channel hands down Thank you two

JK Bros...that's probably the best reaction to Ren's "Hi Ren" I've seen. You two are funny, cool and have wonderful empathy. I've looked at your reaction a few times now and the joy you feel for this extraordinary song is real and understandable. Perfect...greetings from vienna austria

Love that you subscribed in the first third, even before that really really cool stuff :D

I’ve listened to this song countless,times over the last month, tons of reactions videos too. I get chills each and every time. Hi Ren is on another level. Great reaction! Keep it up!

Yaaaaaa omg I love your reaction to Ren my dudes ❤️❤️

Ren-the money game part 2 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 boy can rap and sing,he could become the next 21 pilots..

Your faces while watching said it all!

I think I've watched every reaction to this piece of art. The best part is watching that solemn look on the reactors face when he starts wailing at the beginning, it's a look to say I'm going to have to show appreciation to some guy wailing through a song. Without a single doubt every reactor has been vibbing out at the end wails, what a journey

Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole. Get ready for an exciting ride! I have known of Ren since I first saw him busking seven years ago. It has been brilliant to watch everyone else finally finding him. By the way, this was one of the best reactions to Hi Ren. Loved it!

Has anyone seen REN play the piano? He is amazing ❤

How can he not be affected by the machine is my fear for Ren . This dude is special . You have to be born with talent this guy has got. He can literally do anything . He’s a student of music . Check some of his early stuff floating around and you’ll see what I mean . Please don’t go mainstream . As for this track , how the hell do you perform that in front of an audience ? Surely it can’t have the same spontaneousness like this performance. Nearly all his stuff is live and he’s happy to leave any slight mistakes , although he’s so fuckin telented and imaginative that he probably means to do it. I can only thank him from the bottom of my heart for being here . Completely lost faith that we’d witness musical greatness again .✌️

You guys are class. Great reaction, you did it justice.

I love your reaction, its so Alive!!! ;D

I come back every week to see your reaction to this amazing piece of art---the attention respect and joy you share with us over HI REN gets to me every time----bless you brothers

His whole back catalogue is amazing and so varied . You're in for a treat !!!

Bro how’d you make these brothers speechless ren😂😂

It's crazy. It goes to show that we all say we want to be happy, and we want success, but with the pendulum of life we have suffer equally as dark moments and I'm not sure we are all prepared for that. Great reaction guys, keep it up. #JKbros

Guys are you Greeks? I enjoyed your reaction! Watching every reaction of "Hi Ren" is my new daily habbit since I discovered him a month ago. He is amazing!!! Please, as others said, react to "the tale of Jenny and Screech (full)". It will blow your mind! Greetings from Athens ;)

That Hi Ren reaction was EPIC! Forced me to subscribe 👍✌️

"ALLLLLL DAY!!!" And I have been, I can say through the reactions I've seen, it has been said "this song maybe this generations bohemian rhapsody", I would say from the reactions that your song has crossed the generation gap, it echos and resonates. In the world of today, your work here carries a deep message. Rejoice in even the small victories, this is great. Thank you.

wow, you guys are awesome, such amazing synchronicity, lol! Top 3 reaction to this video, IMO, and I've watched about 40 so far. Great!! As others said, watch the TRILOGY of Jenny and Screech next (full).

Thank you for your reaction. It really felt honest, compared to other re-actors. Ren is a fking genius! You MUST watch the trilogy - the tale of Jenny, Screeches tale and Violets tale. There is a full version video out there. It will blow your mind. Ren is a one-take beast. You can see the mic on him sometimes. DO IT! ❤

Yep. He is a one take master! This is live, and thats how he rolls.

This is the reaction that this genius song deserved. Well done

Love you guys thank you so much for taking you time of the day to make other feel happy you 2 got a gift and I’m here to appreciate it. So much love ❤️

Excellent and authentic reaction!

It’s akin to watching someone’s very private and beautiful prayer.

What an amazing artist! I think he will be going places! Glad to see your reaction. WOW!

You reaction is EPIC. You’ll sh*t your pants when you watch the full Tale of Jenny & Screech

Hey guys. We have watched dozens and dozens and dozens of reaction videos and we can all agree that only certain ones meant enough to us, or the reaction was a summation of what every other person feels, and you nailed it. I’m watching again a fb am sure it won’t be the last. Keep em coming 😊

Where have you”ll been all my life. Omg such a great reaction!!!!
