May I just recommend you continue with the Ren train - he’s incredible Seeing as people wanted me to change the wording so much lol

welcome to the RENasance. He is absolutely soulsplitting. From his lyrical miracle songs like Illest Of Our Time or The Hunger, to his 3 piece Shakespearian level Jenny/Screech/Violet trilogy, to his thought provoking songs like money game 1/2, Sickboi, and soo much more. Ren truly is a masterclass artist.

“The Tale Of Jenny And Screetch (full)” will blow your socks off 💯 It’s 3 live performances in a row that all connect the same story. One of the best story related pieces of art I’ve ever seen.

Ren is a really interesting artist simply because of the sheer variety of his work. Rap, rock, regae, folk, edm, new school, old school, he seemingly has no genre, he has all of them. And he has a message behind most of what he does too, so there's substance to it. Think you're going to enjoy the journey.

You will be ABSOLUTELY blown away with the tales of Jenny, Screech, and Violet! It will blow your mind!

He has really good rap songs "The Hunger" "Genesis" and most recently "Illest of Our Time"

Hell yeah... Ren is absolutely amazing. From his rap in : Illest of our time, and the hunger... to his singing in his collaboration with Chinchilla in Chalk Outlines. Just be warned once you start down the Ren path your life will never be the same again.

Ren is a true artiste. He doesn’t confine his talent to one genre-take a pick and dive on in to the Ren rabbitverse. His lyricism is next level and as he says on the track ‘Power’ ‘I go for broke on every song I wrote’. He also does next level social commentary on ‘Money Game pt. 1& 2, and ‘Crucify Your Culture’. Everything is thought provoking. Cheers.

YO didn't expect to see you reacting to Ren, that's awesome! Edit: If you want a cool ride and an even better story from Ren, I'd highly recommend checking out his trilogy of Jenny's, Screech's, and Violet's Tale

I've known about Ren for years as my daughter grew up in Brighton were he did a lot of busking (street performing for those outside UK). He is highly talented and was signed by Sony back then, but he got dropped when he got sick with misdiagnosed Lyme disease. He can sing, rap and does his own style of bardcore (this and the tale of Jenny, Screech and Violet) not to mention beatbox, play multiple instruments and does his own beats for his rap songs (other than retakes).

So many of us fell in love with Ren because of this song. It’s a shame he’s not already made it huge but this song was his turning point. Everything I’ve heard from him since first hearing this song has blown my mind. He’s right, he’s a genius.

Crypt, you nailed this reaction. You picked up and dissected his lyrics on a first time listen with incredible insight. You also had me in tears with your commentary. I loved Ren’s dance with the devil at the end where he keeps the forces of evil at bay in that eternal dance with his internal demons.

Hahahah! You're one of my favorite reactors and I'm so glad you finally got to hop on this. Get Ready to go down the Ren rabbit hole! You will continuously be pleasantly surprised! 🙌🏻 Check out, The Tale of Jenny & Screech FULL, The Hunger, Genesis, Losing It, Fisher Retake, and the band The Big Push. Good luck Brodie!!! Remember, you asked for it. 😂

I’m sooo happy to see you react to this! Ren is one of a kind talented young man. You might like Genesis, Losing it, Sick Boi. He has an extensive catalog with many different types of music. Some are covers, done very well, some originals, also very good. I’ll be looking out for more Ren on your channel. Great reaction, I’ve been watching you for quite a while now and this is the first time I’ve commented. I’m passionate about this artist. Have fun!! He’s great!

There's no other artist like him out there

Glad you appreciate it. I tried to show my best friends/band mates to show them how I feel mentally and have voices and shadows in my head. They didn’t get it. I’m currently in out patient at a mental hospital and all of my friends abandoned me. It’s nice to see people understand. It helps even if I cry every single time.

I’m so glad you’re reacting to Ren. I found his music a month or two ago and I became obsessed with it. I love how each song he makes has so much meaning and they all sound so different. Crutch is my favorite song from him.

Ren is so deep with raw emotion , love his music

Man, as a person who struggled with suicide growing up and has been battling suicide bit recently rededicated myself to my calling to ministry walking by faith and writing my raps and sermons, this really hit me. I got tears on this one.

Ren is the realist of the real, probably one of the most talented musical artists I've heard in 40 years of listening to all genres of music....his back story of illness and mis diagnosis is something you should research before you go down the Ren rabbit hole, it will give you a better understanding of some of his songs. Also as you start listening to more of his songs, some of the references he includes in his lyrics start to make more sense as he often references his own lyrics...I could suggest plenty of tracks but prob better for yourself to just go on the journey and enjoy...oh and if its rap your into, then Ren can proper Rap rap....I would only say to be careful with some as he they have to be listened to in a certain order like the tales trilogy....great reaction by the way you totally got it.

Ren is not your average rapper....he is a true artist in every meaning of the word. A musical genius that we need right now! 💯🔥

Finally... He has so many good songs.

Continue with the ren rabbit hole! it's absolutely fucking amazing and every single song will blow your mind, his singing is amazing his rapping is phenomenal and his guitar skills are top level xo

“You’ll never be loved, you’ll never be safe, might as well give up.” “Not running away!” I’ve never had an artist hit my NF buttons like this. I’m so glad you did this reaction.

Super dope artist right here. You should totally check out the rest of his work.

I love how reactors knit their brows and shake their head at the opening yodeling sequence, but by the end they all vigorously nod to the yodeling like it's an anthem.

Welcome to the RENaissance. I will never get tired of watching reactions to his music in general but especially this song. It's always interesting to see a reactor from when he starts the yodeling business and everybody's either confused or laughing or sometimes even on the edge of turning the whole thing off, to the end when they're just captivated. That was fun. You should do more Ren. He's not all folk rap. This is actually quite different from what he normally does. But he doesn't fit into any one box. He is genreless. Or, as Black Pegasus, called him the last genre bender. I would enjoy watching your take on some of his other music. There will be a ton of people down below making suggestions. It's pretty much a given that you're going to want to do the tale of Jenny and Screech, the full version with all three stories together. Because it is a trilogy. It's a modern day Shakespearean tale told in three parts. It's best that the tales are watched back to back. It's 13 minutes long but just like this video probably didn't feel like 9 minutes his trilogy won't feel like 13. Past that he's got a ton of good music. He sings, he raps, he plays instruments, he makes his own beats... Can't go wrong no matter what you pick. His history is that of a busker a street performer. He's been doing this, working towards this goal of making it through music, for 20 years now. More than 20 years. And you will hear about his sickness as well from his fans. The short version is that he was diagnosed with Lyme disease finally after being misdiagnosed for many many years. Unfortunately, in addition to being sick, the being misdiagnosed means that he was prescribed medications he didn't need, given mental health labels that he didn't fall under like schizophrenia and/or bipolar disorder, and developed psychosis as a result of all of that. But the amazing thing is that he kept making music. I mean I can barely get out of bed some days. I sure as hell don't think I could do what he has been doing if I was a sick as he has been. Anyway, keep on keeping on. 🖖

Ren is not only a very talent boy but he’s intelligent and clued up on the real world. He’s still learning just like us all but I live his openness and letting us in to to connect with him on a very real level 👏🏻💚

I already know this is going to be a life changing song for you.

I love Ren! Any Ren video you do, I'll be here for it. He's so talented in so many ways. The actual Ren community will give you more than enough suggestions. The one that hit me the hardest was Ren X Chinchilla-Chalk outlines.

I have watched so many reactions to 'Hi Ren' since it tends to have such awesome reactions. I think you're the first I've seen point out the 'loosen the noose on the rope' in the context of the singer as the one holding the noose. I mean, I suppose the emotion would still apply, but I definitely interpret it as the positivity/hope being why the noose loosens, not just the outcome. Otherwise, you caught a lot of stuff really quickly! Realizing it was absolutely about mental health early on, the live playing and singing, etc. Great reaction!

Bro, I am glad that you did this reaction as I have been going around and watching everyone's reactions to it. I am chronically ill and also am a musician. It hit me soooo hard! He is a lyrical GENIUS! He is a true artist, performer and all around great human being! As a rapper you will really love his recent stuff, Sick Boi & Illest of our time. As more performance art you MUST watch the Tale of Jenny, Screech & Violet (Full) they all correlate with one another and you need to watch in that order. Also his collaborations with Chinchilla are incredible! I loved your reaction, so I gladly subscribed to your channel. I am sure your comment section is going to blow up because there are sooo many of us doing the same thing. I have heard this song well over 150 times (not even kidding) and it captivates me EVERY SINGLE TIME!

He's having a horrible time at the moment with health, I hope he sees this and it cheers him up even if only for 10 minutes.

Oh my gosh, I didn't realize you haven't reacted to Ren yet. You're going to have your mind blown by this amazing artist

Outstanding reaction my dude. Really impressive to see your level of comprehension and ability to repeat it all back, verbatim at times, with one listen. Can’t wait for more Ren from you!

Hi Ren is simply the best masterpiece I've heard since Pink Floyd's "The wall". Unique. Genious in every direction. And the most important to me: The truest song I've ever heard.

Ren is so amazing and all of his songs are different.

Please more reactions on Ren! His music is something else. Pure raw emotion in art.

More Ren, please! You will definitely love The Hunger from Ren. It’s super bar heavy and really shows he can RAP, rap! Also, the Tale of Jenny and Screech(full) is phenomenal storytelling.

Yea man I’ve really enjoyed listening to Ren! And he has so many different types of music that just never gets boring! Next one I’d check to get some more of his rap is his most recent song “Illest if our Time”

just found ren through hi ren a few days ago and i checked out his other suff. he quickly became one of my favourite artist in a matter of a day or 2 and his story is crazy

Ren is multitalented with his music, if you want rap (illest of our time, Sick Boi) and you want singing (chalk outlines) if you want insane storytelling (the Jenny, Screech, Violets Tales). Definitely check out more Ren.

I followed REN years ago during his lyme treatment. He’s been through hell. It shows in his songs.

Ren can do it all. He makes his own beats. He raps, and sings, even beat boxes on a song. All of his songs are impressive. He can even channel Bob Marley. His newest song is The Illest Of Our Time.

Finding Ren a couple months ago, through this song, has led me properly down the rabbit hole. He has some insane talent. Jenny and screech trilogy full video, illest of our time, sick boy, chalk outlines, losing it, money game v1 and v2… all absolutely brilliant.

Ren has quickly became one of my favorite artists. Lyricism, originality, flows , depth... It's all there

Ren is very unique and versatile. He raps greatly, sings beautifully and does his own music & beats. Please do more Ren. Thank you ❤

So happy to see you finding Ren! Bro, he can do it all. Unbelievable talent, with an amazing story! Please do more of his music. I'm here for it!

Please react to more Ren. The man is super creative, he's in a band called The Big Push. And does a lot of collabs with Sam Tompkins, and so much more. There is so much for you to react to from his Solo work, to his street performances (which I think really helped him blow up). Ren x Sam Tompkins. I think you will be very impressed with whatever you react to, and his musical creativity can't be denied even if every song might not be for everyone (one can still appreciate it). Ren can Rap, Sing, play Guitar, Bass, Piano (and probably more lol). Keep up the great work Crypt can't wait for more music from you as well.

Man, this made my day. So glad you did this Crypt. I highly recommend a trip down the Ren rabbit hole. You won't regret it

I discovered Ren a month ago, I'm just as surprised as you were, I'd love to see more reactions from you on this artist

hes such a fantastic storyteller through his music.

Yeah we’re gunna need more ren reactions, this guy is insane

If this is your first time reacting to him. You should maybe do Jennys tale then screech's tale into voilets tale

Ren is extremely talented, and I feel like that's even an understatement to his storytelling abilities, and as an artist. Don't only check out his music, but check out his Band the Big Push.

Absolutely amazing!! Love your reacts, it really made me look so much deeper into the music I listen to daily. Never stop man!!!

Even if you don't react to more of Ren's catalogue, you have to dig into it in off on your own time. But you really need to do the reactions my man. Ren's content is absolutely worth it. Sick Boi will blow your mind in a totally different way!

Sweet! We got Crypt hittin up Ren. This will be an exciting journey. Thanks for reacting to Ren!

That "She sells sea shells by the sea shore." Was a reference to his song money gain part 2, where he broke down economics in a nursery rhyme. I highly recommend checking it out.

been pretty familiar with ren, chalk outlines is amazing, his jenny and screetch trilogy is amazing. Ren is one of a kind. any of his songs is a hit and i reccomend all of them

Bro I didn't expect u to react to this song. Unexpected but good surprise

Yeahhh join us on the Ren train. There is rap: the Hunger, illest allive, sick boy. Singing: the busking with his band the big Push and Sam. Chalk outlines. Some of his older songs are great too.

So glad you have found the genius of Ren, live 1 take stuff, the tale of jenny and screech FULL will blow your fkin mind bro

BTW, I can relate highly to Ren, I didn't have my battles for the same reason, I was born with my psychosis, I battled it all my life, without drugs or therapy, and my heart goes out to Ren, but this song, it gives me hope and touches me deep inside, this is art, but it's also Ren emotionally and psychologically naked for all to see, it's beautiful and he is using his great talents to give the lessons he has learned as a student of psychological warfare to others still fighting it, only now as a teacher. I just turned 50 a week ago, and as much as I've struggled and learned, he has taught me another lesson, to voice it, to not be afraid to expose that to others, and I have, and it's like a weight lifted off my shoulders, that I can tell others now about that internal struggle. This is more than just music, it's art, and more than just art, it is life as some of us know it, and we are human beings.

He has many good tunes crypt. He's amazing at story telling.

It was meant to be that Ren was to speak to you today. He wakes and shakes and makes you with this song. You feel it. THIS time you really feel it. Now you get to pass it, share it, promote it cuz it deserves it. 🎉❤

Thank you for this definitely a video I didn’t know I needed 👏🏽

I love your reaction more than anyone else i've seen to date, and i've watched them all!

I found this song after Knox's reaction. I was waiting for your reaction for months until now. But I'm happy that the video is here

Genesis, Hunger, Illest of our time, Chalk Outlines (Live) with Chinchilla and The Tale of Jenny and Screech Full, one of the best trilogy’s ever told

ren is the best artist I've discovered in the last years. just mindblowing all over the board

Ren is on another level. He is the best thing to come out of music in decades.

Ren is a rabbit hole you WON’T regret. Bro can do it all! Can’t wait to see your future reactions! (Cuz I KNOW you will)

Plz continue reacting to Ren. His catalog will blow your mind. These LIVE, one take vids are the norm. His real raps, and other stuff is insane.

The whole world needs to listen to Hi Ren,it’s a pure beautiful work of art.

The voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope. That is the most powerful thing I have ever heard

Ren is SOOOO talented. His stuff is all over the place from rapping, "folk" storytelling, rock singing, etc. For rapping check out The Hunger, Illest of our Time, Power, Genesis, or Money Game 1 + 2. For AMAZING storytelling do the trilogy Jenny's, Screech's, and Violet's tale... highly recommend the longer video with all 3 combined rather than doing them individually as they are all a complete story. For some more of his singing skills check out Chalk Outlines, How to be Me, or some of his street busking videos. He also was in a group called the Big Push that he did some more rock singing. Oh I'm sure I left out so much more... as you can see I've become a fan of Ren after hearing Hi Ren shortly after it came out. I expect a lot of people will comment the same and would love to see some more reactions to his stuff.

This is a deep&meaningful, relatable, slice of his #BardCore.... & this live capture (4th take I believe) is *thoroughly* impressive, so I'm not surprised millions have come to it thru word-of-mouth. True depth of talent *will* be passed around organically without a label machine - Hallelujah!! 🙌 He can also *rap* rap: check out "the Hunger", "Illest of our Time" (When you see "Ill" or "Sick" in a Ren song or title, be aware he's not trying to say he's the best rapper on the planet - he's been dealing with a nightmare of over a decade of misdiagnosed Lyme disease, incorrect meds etc.) He can also *sing* sing: check out pretty much anything he's done which isn't rap-dominant! He also plays some tasty (mostly bluesy) guitar & bass: check out him with his band The Big Push on the streets of Brighton doing Bob Marley's "I Shot the Sherriff", going into Damian Marley's "Road to Zion", going into him deciding on-the-fly to rap Dead Prez' "HipHop" over the band toward the end o_O The way he conducts/leads the band thru that makes a truly special live gig moment. also check him out with Sam Tompkins doing a live capture of their co-written song "Blind Eyed" for Music Crowns (there is also a high quality studio production OMV version you're probably going to want to see, to check out what the song the pair wrote with a guitar turned into when given the full high quality production - maybe treat yourself to a double-header?) Oh, & he does his own production! Oh, & he may break into some pretty solid beatboxing on occasion! #AnnoyinglyTalented LOL Welcome to the #RENaissance ;)

I still get chills listening too this song. I really enjoyed seeing your take. Love ya Crypt!

Ren is the epitome of versatility

The trilogy of jenny screech and voilet is epic

About damn time, Crypt. Thanks for reacting to this amazing vid.

Liked/subscribed. This is one of the better reactions I’ve seen 2 this. Great analysis, dude!

Any and all ren songs You can't go wrong with. I have never been more fascinated by an artist before this guy is the truth!!

Head down the rabbit hole. You will not be disappointed. Losing it, illest of our time, the hunger, Ren and Sam Tompkins have a few good ones as well.

Thank you for doing this! Finally!

Ren is great! So glad to see you reacting to him! Highly recommend sick boi! Looking foward to seeing more bro. Much love 💪💪

Thank you Sir for this reaction, I've been waiting for this. Ren has quickly become one of my favorite artists, he can do it all. For Rap check out The Hunger Illest of our Time Genesis -For story telling- Tale of Jenny, screech, violet -For singing- Chalk outlines He's also got a band called the Big Push Like with NF, you won't be disappointed

Ren is brilliant.

Finally! We've been waiting for this bro! You've got a continue the journey of Ren, dude is an absolute beast!

literally hopped down the ren rabbit hole yesterday, glad to see you doing so as well. this song hits deeper the more times you listen to it deeply, I still get chills after the fifth listen.

IM SO HAPPY YOUVE DISCOVERED REN! my goodness, you have one hell of a catalogue to get through 😂❤ And im here for it 💯💯

I've been waiting for this for weeks. Can't wait to see your reactions to his rapping. You need to react to Sickboi, Illest of our time, Hunger. Prefect place to start.

I absolutely cannot wait to watch you stroll down the Ren rabbit hole!! If you like this song, you will absolutely love all his other music!!

Loved your reaction. Have been hopping on board lots of reactors with their Ren reactions. Hope you continue exploring his back catalogue. I think it will leave you amazed with his musicianship and artistry. Welcome to the the Ren reaction train. Hope you love it as much as I have.

Chalk Outlines and Genesis by Ren are both great songs too! I have Chalk Outlines in repeat

The personified inner thoughts thing is different here because both sides go through like three or four different mental states each. Negative thoughts goes from playfully sinister to threatening to demonic. Positive starts as mildly confident to a panicky argumentative thing, lands on tired and broken before going into the resilient mindset that he ends on. All capped off by Ren dropping some emotionally intelligent wisdom about learning to not be so frustrated with your illnesses. The acting on display is fantastic and you're not going to get anything like that monologue from any other artist his age because he's learnt to process heavier shit that 99% of people from a young age.

Bro, been waiting for you to do this!!

Yooo man Im so happy you find Ren and I really hope you will go down in the Ren rabbit hole🔥🔥
