Make sure you SUBSCRIBE for more dope talent like Ren & Sam Tompkins bit.ly/MusicCrowns 👑

Rapping to singing falsetto in a duet, while playing guitar, back to rapping to slam poetry to speed rap like what the fuuuuuuuuu!!! awesome.

When you're 58 years old and you find yourself shouting 'What the ****' at the screen you know you've just watched something special.

when asked, i tell people my favorite genre of music is "UK street emosoul garage blues-hop, live."

I am 72 years old, an old Folk, Rock and R&B kinda guy but what you guys bring to the table is incredible. Vocally you guys are great but even more the guitar work, the articulation, muting skills, chord vocabulary and rhythm changes are extraordiary! Bravo !

How I got here? -Corona virus -Algorithem -Jenny's tale -The love of good music

I discovered Ren a few months ago and cant enough if his music. I'm 67 and love all kinds of music. I'm absolutely blown away to know that theres a star being born and its called Ren. Btw, I've suffered depression for the best part of my life and still on an antidepressant at this age. I also live with chronic pain. Ren's music resonates down into my soul. Thank you maestro. Stay genius. Sam has a magnificent voice.

never seen a performance from Ren that isn't 100% present, 100% commitment, 100% feeling

I dont understand why more people are not listening....

Literally listening to this with only my left earphone working , the irony

If I was an 18 year old lad I would probably say something like 'this is dope man'. I'm not. I'm a 50 year old woman. It's fucking awesome! These lads have GOT to make it.

My 87 year old Irish nan was listening to this in my car humming and bopping along to this, made me smile so much.

I like Sam, his voice is incredible, but Ren is a whole other animal. He literally feels every word, he embodies every word. Very few artists can make you feel the draw emotion from their body actions. Play the video with no volume and watch Ren. Fucking incredible

SO ANGRY THIS DOESN'T FT ANGRY CARPARK MAN

This thing switches genres like 17 times and it's the best thing I've ever heard of each one.

Ren, I'm 55, a lifelong musician, and small town producer/writer. You my guy are legit! I hope you have all the success in the world and there's ZERO reason why you won't get that. Your talent is mesmerizing as well as your feel, soul, musical ability, presentation, and just vast plethora of musical gifts. So glad I discovered you a few days ago. It's one of the best musical things to happen to me. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world. Sam is amazing too. ☮

2:38 Sam got Ren shook wit that vocal run xD

1:10 - for anyone coming from vinnie singing this song

Ren deserves all the success he is getting!!!

The ability Ren has to articulate his words so perfectly even at warp speeds with the accent he has is something special!!

VINNIE HACKEEEER OBRIGADO POR ME APRESENTAR ISSOOOOOOOOO

You guys encapsulate this quote: "To live a creative life, we must lose the fear of being wrong." Beautiful mates. You inspire this old man to pick up his guitar again.

I'm 55 years old I was beginning to think there was no good music left in the world. You guys have changed my mind, restored my faith. Just phenomenal tallent! Amazing. Please don't ever stop!

WOW. Been diving into Ren for past month and every time I think I've seen the best he's got, I find another jewel. Not only that, but he's introducing me to all these other great talents he collaborates with~ Thank You REN!!!❤

2:18 Sam's reaction to Ren singing is gold

This lighter don't work, no No flame to spark my goal My Nike'es laced in dirt, oh I've ended up treading on my own soul My headphones only working on the left side But I try, to live the right life My eyes wide, and I strive To stop my demons gripping, ripping from the inside This road is dark and I can't find the batteries for my flashlight I'm blind eyed and I'm tried These drugs don't work The pain it takes control A blood-stained shirt I feel like I'm always being chased by the devil I tried to talk but I can't seem to get my spoken words right And I t.t.t.t.t.t.try to keep my stutter light And this life it can be ish right, cut you like a flick knife Twist and make you sick right An I think, (maybe I'll be better off alone) So I redirect the calls from my phone I learnt so many lessons from depression But in essence I'm just wishing that these bad thoughts were gone Sometimes I get these times when it's like time is against me In my mind I kind of mind yeah that my mind can torture me But I rhyme 'cause when I rhyme it's like my rhymes they set me free And I shine so bright, I shine those times these rhymes come out of me Sometimes I bleed Sometimes I crawl, sometimes I slip, sometimes I fall Sometimes times my back is up against the Wall so hard that whole building could fall Sometimes I bruise, sometimes I break Sometimes I'm true, sometimes I'm fake Sometimes I'm hoping for a moment when the floor Would just start opening and swallow me for goodness sake I think I'm gonna break cause I ache and it's bait I'm awake in a world full of pain superman no cape And I'm pressing the breaks but the breaks They break and I'm driving my universe into a lake And the weight, the weight of the world don't wait We make mistakes when it's all at stake We cook out cake we eat our cake Sometimes no time for double takes but (That's just the way life goes sometimes) But I don't want to end up in the gutter being battered by my Troubles face down in puddle where the sun don't shine So I'm coming and giving it back, upon the track and attacking 'em Stacking up beats like I did with this one I pack it in And I'm praying, oh lord take this pain away oh

Anyone else have to fight off tears to this song?

That falsetto controll. Best I've heard, and I've heard alot.

Quem veio pela música que o vinnie cantou ?🥰

Criminal that this song isn’t a global hit. Just beautiful

4:02 OMG That smile when Sam see Ren spitting his bars so damn fast 🤣🤣 He looked so happy and proud of his friend, like "Thank God that I had him being with me like this". And I believe that Ren'd think the same way too. Love their friendship ❤

OMG, I just started listening to Ren a few months ago on TikTok, which has brought me here through a rabbit hole. This is some of the best music I have heard in years, maybe decades.

Ren is the definition of a true artist his poetry rhymes his whole personality is amazing

It's crazy. You guys look like you are in someone's rec room about to play around with music equipment you got for Christmas. And then the music starts and you can't stop listening. It's mesmerizing. There is no concert by anyone that I would rather be at than right here. Amazing.

These lads have definitely found there song,that’s going to make them. It just like an actor/actresses who has found there big break in a movie.

This is badassery!

Seeing ren like this makes it super easy to forget all the trouble he goes through to put out this content. Much appreciated brother

I'm 62 and totally enjoying my new Ren obsession! Thanks for making new music exciting!

0:52 after buying a headphone from a Chinese store

What the hell did I just witness?! Unbelievable - I knew what I was getting when rens name popped up but Sam Thompsons - holy hell!! What a voice! Those runs were gorgeous - can’t stop smiling :)

Quite simply……..pure talent in writing and performance!

Sam Tompkins is GASSED at Ren's flow at 4:00

REN a beacon of light, I see you, I am that what you are. I removed the observer and now I am everything.

Hair standing up on my whole body. A devastating hit of harmony. Absolutely beautiful, keep up the realness and tunes that are dark but make you smile, give you hope and a reason to fucking live, to keep going, to let yourself cut the demons out with a quiet but mesmerizing chain saw. Atleast for me. Thank y'all again for helping me cry but with a eery comfort and uninterrupted beauty. Crazy right? Maybe somebody gets it✌🏻

Holy crap. The talent is insane!

Love you two collaborating ❤❤❤❤ Thanks for the intro to Music Crowns!

The older people who have heard it all are in awe and feel the need to state their ages in making comments to emphasis the rareness of such creativity and talent ! I'm sixty-six and know!

It was aggravating when I found out people thought vinnie was singing.. but glad sam and ren got some more views on there amazing work, was waiting for this day to happen 🤘🏼

Ren = gold, but so is Sam, great duo! thanks both for making my day with this song!!

❤ Every word, so carefully chosen. Every line feeds my Soul. It's been a long time since I heard music that connects with something ethereal. I'm too old to have an obsessive crush, but I'm absolutely obsessed with everything I find that has Ren on it. Love, love, love it! Just connected to the Great I AM. Thank you for creating real music. It's been some time since we had that.

I never thought I would like music like this. WOW, I was so wrong! This is awesome! LOve it!!!!!!

This was the 2nd ren song I found and this song helped me out of a terrible place in my life. This song got me to smile again and. Bringing me back to the love of singing cuz I can't dance anymore but I can still sing, thank you both love this song

My father and I listened to these songs before he passed away recently and the raw emotion in this take hits me so much harder will always love this music

this is like 5 songs. they are all good. very good.

Love Sam's voice in this version, so much more soul and imperfection, that coupled with rens voice and guitar mastery. You compliment each other so very well.

Really great song writing and lyrics. So underrated and overlooked. Glad he is finally getting the shine he deserves. Brother is breaking the mold of what a musician and rapper is before he came along. Sincerely, Newly minted Ren super fan for life.

Ridiculously amazing. Cross genres, lyrically superb, memorising to watch. I need your vocabulary to even try and begin to describe how brilliant you are Ren and you and Sam on this is just...just... arrghhhh 👌😍😍😍😍 I'm years late to discovering your talent Ren but I'm so grateful I finally have!!!!

I’ve just heard this song for the first time and it’s lyrically perfect. I thought this must be a cover. You forget there is so much unsigned talent out there.

This level of talent is unproportional, these two got it all, so be patient and watch them rise. Two up and coming mega producers here.

This song could not get better Sam and Ren are superlative!!!

I'm also 72 and you guys are fantastic. Love the guitar work, the voices, the variety, the lyrics. This is going on my favorites list. Thanks!!

Wow! What a talent, love it. I’m 53yrs old and love music but this is a breath of fresh air. 👍🏻

Ren’s magical guitar skills blend perfectly with Sam’s singing skills! What a show!!

Gigglesnort it's always the right one that gives out first, props to the left headphone, carrying us over the finishing line!! God I love this song, it has everything- its just...art, perfection

Bopping away, like there's no tomorrow, to this

This should, no joke have 20 million views. SHARE. Share with the world!

That was incredible....both of you guys were Super!💯✝️❤️💫

Jesus, am I supposed to feel like I've been running up the stairs at the end? Fantastic!

I can’t stop my tears now thinking of my friend as I listen to this. REN, I first heard your music in October last year. When I came across the songs Suic*de and Freckled Angels… man I can’t describe what I emotionally went through. It’s hard to think they’re gone. I heard those songs a couple months after losing my friend and I now so grateful I found this with my favourite songs mixed flawlessly into this! Thank you!

These guys are going to be the next big thing...

Amazing, the talent in that room would hold the roof up even if the walls fell in.. bravo to both of you!

Blind Eyed is just simply brilliant. I have watched this particular video many times and each time I 'm just mesmerized by the amount of talent that Ren & Sam have. Ren's writing skills are unbelievable and Sam's voice and range are amazing. I hope and I'm sure I speak for many others when I say that I hope and pray that Ren and Sam get together and create more magic in the future. 🙏

No idea who Vinnie is but these guys are awesome and hats off to the engineer that mixed this. Quality. Hands down.

Went down the rabbit hole of Ren’s music, and was ok with it. It was all great, dudes truly talented. You can thank Kenny Hoopla for a new fan

The "Oh Lord take this pain away" hit so different

Thank you Ren for getting me out of bed to carry on. I only have 20 years left if I'm lucky. I shouldn't waste it.

Hi Ren brought me here. This genious kid. I wish I could give him a hug.

The more I listen to this song the more I love it… yeah I’m late to the party but I just can’t get enough

Seeing ren get recognition recently makes me happy.

65 next birthday, in love with thinking outside the box but you have taken it to a whole new level if it gives you goosebumps you have hit the spot amazing

When he said, "My headphones only working on the left side"...I felt that

I love hearing this at different stages of their careers because I LOVE this song

Hugely talented guys. Best buskers I've seen (and I've been busking for thirty years)

You never cease to amaze me old man in a young man's cape

It’s no wonder they’re both blowing up here now in 2024!!! Two talented cats!!!!🔥💯

honestly the best symphony on the tube, grace these x

Ahhh Man! That was groovy. So many weaved styles and grooved beats and the way you both meshed, spot on.

I am new to ren but everything I have listened to is brilliant. Under rated

What a voice Sam!

You guys are great singers

I too am 72 and I cannot get enough of this fabulous raw talent...

This is truly one of my all time favorite creations. ❤

This is breath-taking! Never thought there would be an artist who delivers so much meaning and Ren does it every time within unique shapes. It's like HE DOESN'T NEED structure, so far above it! Return of true poets!

Everyone needs to hear this! Seriously next level talents at work here! 👏👏🤯
