MY FRIENDS FIRST TIME HEARING! REN | Murderer (Live Acoustic Video)(REACTION) 

This is LA. He's originally from a tiny village in North Wales, but he's been based out of Brighton in southern England for most of the past 12 years or so. He mostly lives in Calgary, Canada currently, where his doctors are based because he needs almost constant medical care, but he travels when he gets the chance. He's been back to the UK a few times, and he made this trip to LA. I'm not 100% sure, but he's been working on a project for Netflix, and besides this video, I think he was there working on that.

The beginning is tribute to Damien Marley - Jamrock (of which he has done busking), the “murderer” chorus is homage to Barrington Levy from his track of the same name from 1993 iirc. In the middle he did the DRE riff which I presume is as it came out on the 50th anniversary of hiphop. R.E. no sun in the U.K. we do have sun, maybe 2 days a year if we are lucky 😂😂 but yeah this was LA. He’s from the Isle of Anglesey in Wales but spent a big chunk of his adult life in Brighton, England but has been in Calgary Canada since January having treatment for his brain damage etc due to the misdiagnosis’. You need to go further down the rabbit hole but also get your mate in on it, he doesn’t have a clue what’s coming 😂🖤

Yes the line murderer, is taken from a Jamaican singer name Barrington Livey and hot the hotstepper line is from another Jamaican song by Inie Kamoze go check them ones out, so your mate was partially correct

Great reaction guys! Also, it's not a cover. This is the acoustic version of Murderer, which is a song he wrote and performed.

Can't wait for your friends journey down Ren world. 😊

Don’t let Your friend watch any Ren, Watch them together You make a good Team I’ve Subbed

This is LA, which accounts for him dropping a nod to Dr. Dre with the Next Chapter vibe.

Yes please, more REN guys💕love music 1,2,3 and 4 which just dropped are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥great reaction 😊

Subscribed to watch you going down the Ren rabbit hole - sorry I only just found your reaction channel - cheers from another RENegade.

Ren's giving homage to Damian Marley's Welcome To Jamrock in his new opening. After that Ren then gives homage to Dr. Dre with the guitar riff from "Next Episode" ft. Snoop Dog. Also the Toblerone line he say's "Beotch" this time instead of "Bitch" which he said in the original, this time it's a homage to Snoop Dog who made that slang famous. ❤🤯❤All this because he's recording this in L.A. ❤🤯❤. Ren's guitar solo was also an homage to another one of Ren's musical influences Django Reinhardt, probibly one of the most famous Jazz guitarist who, if I'm not mistaken, was actually the 1st person to bring Jazz to the UK. That was very much a 30-40's Jazz riff reminiscent of Reinhardt's music..

The first line is from another artist but the rest is his lyrics

thank you for introducing your friend to my favourite artist ever sending big love from the UK ❤❤❤

This was filmed in Los Angeles, CA from a recent trip. He is currently in Canada 🇨🇦 getting treatment

watch Ren's right hand in every "live" or "one take" video where he's playing the guitar or singing over someone playing the guitar. Whoever he's with watches his right hand and Ren is doing his thing and counting out the beat like "1, 2, 3, 4" and then he'll point or close his fist and the other people come in or cut out at the perfect moment. Rapper, poet, producer, musician, and add conductor to the list too.

We do have sun some times 🔥🇬🇧

Your friend thought it was a cover because the opening line of this performance (but not the studio version) is from Welcome To Jamrock.

Great Ren reaction, keep them rolling if you could please 🐊🙏❤️👍🦉

Hey!! Love this reaction!! So enthusiastic and authentic! BK girl here myself. Love that we appreciate the same music!! Thanks for sharing this with us. All love ❤

You can hear the Django Reinhardt influence in the guitar solo

So many different sides to Ren the Tales of Jenny And Screech (full) is a Masterpiece theatrical trilogy

Others have given you good info. I would just add that the other video overlooking a city was Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
