REN - HI REN (cinematic reaction) This Artist caught me off Guard! 

I must not forget. . .we must not forget. . .that we are Human beings ❤ REN:

You will find, especially as a reactor, that Ren is a gift that keeps on giving.

Ren is unlike any artist you have ever seen or heard. He is an absolute genius. Enjoy this journey.

Ren is a well read, deep thinker with a passion for music. He doesn't follow genre's, he's independent, he makes his own beats and produces his own music. He does a lot of 1 take, live videos. He has a difficult history, illness, psychosis, misdiagnosis and almost a decade later, an accurate diagnosis... Lyme disease. Then treatment, and treatment, and more treatment. He's in Canada now in treatment. He released a #1 album with no promotion, touring or radio assistance, while undergoing treatment and not even in his home country. He has a VERY dedicated fan base and we love watching people discover him. Welcome to the RENegades.

Ren is the most dynamic artist working today. He will never stop surprising you!

I'm a 70 year old Scot and I love everything Ren does. I look forward to seeing you dive deeper into Ren. You'll love it! Great reaction btw.

BARDCORE SIR!

He very special. He needs to be protected at all costs.

RENegades Assemble, the Ren rabbit hole is a deep dive that will leave you speechless, amazed and wanting more, the hardest thing for you is going to be trying to not watch more of Ren before you react,

Ren will blow your mind..the tales Jenny Screech and Violet tales.. Money Game Trilogy..I mean his catalogue is immense..subbed

This video was shot in the basement of a friend's flat without permission. They were caught by the manager and given 30 minutes to leave. They were able to do 4 takes. The vocal is alll one of those takes and the video is a patchwork of the 4. Ren said he was just lucky his internal metronome was on point that evening.

He stands for mental health!

Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole! Ren has layers. Surprises around every corner. Hold on! You are in for a rollercoaster ride! 🥰

Ren is a phenomenal independent artist that you will enjoy time and time again

Ren has gone (and continues to go) through an incredibly difficult time both physically and mentally. This performance isn't from some hypothetical perspective. This is a window he provided so we can get a glimpse into what many people live with. And a helluva performance it is.

Buckle up! Ren is one of the best rabbit holes to discover. After a few more masterpieces, you'll say what we all say, "Is there anything he can't do?"

His category is Ren. There is no one like him. You will hear a lot of his influences in his music. He seems to grab from all genres to make his own music that sounds familiar yet so different. Hopefully the Renegades will decend upon this video and lift yet another boat in Ren's high tide. #RenMakesMusic If you're open to suggestions, i would say either one of the next two trilogies The Tales of Jenny, Screech, and Violet or The Money Game 1, 2, and 3 The tales all at once. Money Game definitely one at a time. They're lengthier

The answer to “what genre is REN?” Is YES

REN is every genre plus some you’ve never heard of ❤ Ren was also in a band called the Big Push. All excellent musicians and singers

It never gets old watching a person's life change in real time.

So much variety and artistic majesty to wallow in. Ren is the talent of his generation.

Ren is something else. His heart is amazing, his personality is beyond brilliant, and the more you know the more impressive his art is. He's a genre bender and fearless when it comes to his music. Cinematic recommendations: Animal flow (though it's a little weird first watch), Genesis, Illest of Our Time... but if you love movies in general, I call Loosing It his "pop-culture easter egg hunt"! Enjoy the Rabbit Hole & the Renegade community!

Welcome to the Renaverse. We are here to guide you.

Hahaha! I've been following Ren for a year and *still* don't know what genre he is! MORE REN❣

Welcome to the world of Ren❤

The genre is ART. Pure ART.

The gift we all have been begging for, without even knowing.

Ren is definitely a once in a lifetime artist! I am 53! He is the only GREATNESS I have found since Ronnie Radke in 2014!! I am so obsessed !!!

Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole! He is known for his live, one-take videos like this one. He defies genres. He can sing, rap, play guitar, piano along with many other instruments, makes his own beats, beatboxes, and can do pretty much everything. Ren is also a master storyteller. The Tales of Jenny and Screech (full version including Violet's Tale) are well worth checking out. Looking forward to more Ren reactions ❤❤

That is a goddamn good reaction! You have great vibes!

Ren defies definition. You will find that it is impossible to put him a box. And we are RENegades. Lol. Welcome to Ren's world. This is a one shot performance.

As a kid who grew up listening to the musicals my father wrote, that to this day are performed all over the world, I can tell you Ren like Jacob Collier is a once in a generation artist. There is no way no way at all to explain to you how talented and diverse he is. Either watch it all and be amazed or move on and miss out. He will be remembered.

Hi proud RENegade here ❤ i highly enjoyed your reaction! Subbed for more Ren reactions. I suggest the full Tale of Jenny and Screech, with Violets Tale 😊 looking forward to more!

You are the first who went back to listen to the spoken word.. insightful!

I think the mic went under the strap but since they had multiple cameras and each had a microphone Ren has the ability to mix the hell out of it. He mentions how he goes through great lengths in mixing in other videos in an interview I saw.

So glad you found Ren. He is Welsh. Enjoy as you travel his journey through autoimmunity (Lyme disease) the suicide of his mate Joe and his world views on greed ,money and religion. (The Money Game trilogy) He refreshing and a creative voice ❤ and unlike others he is thought provoking and intelligent.

Ren's last live video, his most ambitious project, is Money Game part 3. His co-director is also his cinematographer. The storytelling and Cinematography are stunning in my opinion and many others. It's a live one shot with one cut and can stand alone, but you'd be missing some context without 1 & 2 (the lyric video only) . Ren has been dubbed the Tarantino of music by some of his fans and is a multi hyphenated artist. He raps, sings plays multiple instruments, including piano directs and produces most of his music. Thanks

Welcome to the RENaissance. Brace yourself and enjoy! 🌻❤️

Ren does it all. He raps, sings, plays guitar and piano, beatboxes and creates all his works. 'Hi Ren' ia a one-take on the sound, however, the video is cuts from multiple one-takes. He and the cameraman only had 30 minutes to work so got 4 full shots. Ren is basically telling a story here for us. Even the hooting singing at the beginning is contrasted by the full throated passion of the latter part of the work. So much more for you to discover. I suggest you watch 'Sick Boi' next since it is always the path for newbies to Ren. Then hit 'Seven Sins' for an understanding of his true pain from disease and psychosis. You will love his music. Others will explain the details of his illness; it was and still is profound. You see other artists talk about the pain of their life or their upbringing, but none come close to the horror of Ren's struggle. It is his struggle that may have truly made him the amazing person and artist he is today.

hello dear! ren is the king of live/one takes. i think they did 4 takes of this song and picked this one. awesome, huh? i love it when ren 'goes dark', as you said!!!!!!! it's one of my fav parts of him. yummmm.......bitter sweet like the best chocolate. i hope you will join the ranks of the renegades, a giant band of mostly sick/crazy people that recognize one of our own in ren. but ren doesn't just do dark, he does everything, extremely well. welcome to the fam. kathleen bts rendgade

Hi! Thanks for your reaction to Hi Ren.😊 I'm sure you must be feeling a bit overwhelmed by us all, but Ren has cultivated a loyal following not just because of his amazing music but because of his journey and who he is as a person. In the current world we live in, someone like Ren is a rarity. You'll hopefully see what I mean soon. What I'd like to add for you info as you react, is that Ren is totally independent and doesn't have a 'team' as such (although now he may have as he's grown so much so quickly). Ren has friends like Sam or Luke who does his videography, Viktus who is the pig guy etc... Ren does all the production himself, he does most of his beats (sometimes he samples) plus the post sound editing, location, etc..His videos are usually done on a shoestring budget and as such, super creative. The only video that cost more than £2k is Money Game 3. All the others were below that figure. As you react don't worry about lengthy videos or going back. Ren's songs are complex and sometimes require listening to bits again and again. We only ask you rewind a few seconds before you move on so as not to miss anything. Because his music is so packed, we also don't recommend speaking over him if you can avoid it. This is definitely a way to miss something important especially if you watch The Tales of Jenny and Screech (and Violet). Lastly, Ren loves reactors, so don't worry about copyright problems with him. All u have to do is challenge it if you get one and he will personally take it off for you. 😊 Looking forward to seeing more Ren reactions. ❤

If you do the tales of Jenny and screech make sure you do the full version trilogy Jenny screech and finally violet's tale in that order otherwise it won't make sense 13 minutes of 🧠💥 great reaction... welcome to the Ren rollercoaster enjoy the ride ✌️

Welcome to The World of Ren

Welcome to the Ren Rollercoaster! Enjoy the ride my friend...... It's one of the craziest you'll watch. Ren, Chinchilla, Sam Tompkins, The Big Push and all his friends are incredible musicians! Ren is my therapist and these reaction videos are my therapy sessions so thank you and I hope you do more Ren!

Ren is all genre's wrapped into one beautiful soul. ❤

Welcome to the Renegades! ❤ You have jumped aboard the ren express of a catalogue of amazing music! The tale of jenny and screech full version , it was a one take live ... He suffers from Lyme disease and is currently having treatment in canada he was mis diagnosed for 7 years please also do heretic

A genre for Ren? LOL... Enjoyed the reaction, good format, sound, editing, etc.

Welcome to the world of Ren, enjoy the journey. I have followed him for 11 years. and never disappointed.

Ren is not only a great artist, he is humble and a deep thinker and always surprising with his music.Enjoy the Ren rollercoaster!

OK OK you got A Renegade sub

Great reaction! I look forward to your further exploration of Ren. The Renegades will undoubtedly have further suggestions for you, but since you are into the cinematic world, I would suggest the trilogy - Tale of Jenny-Screech-Violet next.

Welcome to the Renegade family! Ren is a once-in-a-generation musical talent, and I hope you'll keep discovering more of his art. He also surrounds himself with other talented artists, so there are many wonderful collaborations, and the videos shot by Samuel Perry-Falvey are incredible. We love to see new people "unwrap" Ren's catalog, so you've got a new sub.

I am 60. My musical story begins at 13 years old with David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust. My parents listened to Rolling Stones, Desmond Dekker and Lou Reid. I went on to fall in love with Punk Rock. I experienced Led Zeppelin. Rainbow, Guns and Roses, the Clash, and the Cure. New York Dolls, Iggy Pop T-Rex. The Who ( Quadrophenia) Then came the Police. Madness, Blur, Oasis, Pulp, Radio Head. … Here I am with Ren. He is the greatest artist I have ever witnessed. He is a genius. I thought the music was over. At 60 I had lost faith. Ren invented a new genre and I'm here for every beautiful moment of this journey. I love books and movies too. He is well-read and weaves the most amazing stories into his songs. It’s pure poetry and art. He is the Tarantino of music videos. He is Andrew Llyod Webber ( Phantom of the Opera) Roman Polanski ( The Tenant) and my favourite Puccini Opera ( Madame Butterfly) He is all of this. I'm old now, but I feel young. I say proudly I am a Renegade ❤️ Enjoy your journey. You too will be under REN’s ( and Sam’s) spell.

versatile haha go down this rabbit-hole your not ready for what you willfind niel uk

Definitely an artist that can not be defined by one song. He does his art pieces like this, but also has more main stream tracks with beats and other instruments. 🤘

Ren is his own genre :)

The genre is Ren. You will discover.

I like your energy man. You earned a sub from me! Can't wait to see you discover more Ren. The Tale of Jenny & Screech trilogy video is a must see next.

Theres no one quite like Ren,welcome to the rabbit hole and enjoy the ride,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Great reaction! This is just the beginning. Subscribing for the journey.

Thank you for reacting to Hi REN and opening up to us 🙏

That was a wonderful reaction to my favorite artist Ren! This song was so powerful, so raw and honest and the message is one that can help so many! Ren is a talented, diverse artist and musician! He sings, raps, beatboxes, tells stories, writes his songs, produces everything and plays several instruments! He is amazing and if you go down the rabbit hole, you will enjoy the ride! Loved your reaction, liked and subscribed 🎉🎉🎉😊

Welcome to the wonderful world of ren!where you can always expect the unexpected! Rens genre is: Ren😂 he basically does anything and everything. Its a fun rabbit hole to fall down, i hope to see you at the bottom 🕳🐇👋🤣💜💜

Ren is amazing me and him are very poetic 💪

I love being able to "relive" seeing/hearing this for the first time. Looking forward to your journey that is Ren (and The Big Push, I hope)'s catalogue.

A work of art.

Welcome to Ren's world you have opened that door now and boy is there alot of suprises in store for you if you dare to enter for more... Its a long way down to the rabbit hole Alice... 🐰🕳️🖤 Enjoy 🙂🙃😄 love your reaction ❤ the Renegades will guide you to safety 🤗

One cool thing is lots of us earlier folks were first introduced to ren through this song. The ride from here can go many ways but might I recommend sick boy , then chalk outlines. No wrong way to go with this man… also please react to his 1 million followers to better understand his fan base. Or… throw a dart at his playlist 😂.

Thank you

I love Ren and happy to see you did a reaction vid ❤ and great to see your channel is growing mate! God bless and much love from Australia 🙏

Ren is a unique artist - if you decide to travel through his world you will find equally unique treasures! His genre is not assigned to any genre, he is so versatile that you rarely see these days. Enjoy your trip👈 I would first like to say thank you - for your disbelieving look, not knowing whether you like what you see and hear - and then at the end to express your full respect! I liked this - new sub from me Greetings from Germany 👏👏👏👍🤝🙋‍♀️

Genre: Art

🎉🎉🎉. Brilliant

Another very proud RENegade here. Loved your reaction. Subbed ❤

Thank you for your reaction. It seems honest and inciteful. I think you will find a unique fan-base that follows Ren ... nicknamed the RENagades. I think Ren and his message connects with many people. Ren connects with many people who have struggled in life with mental and physical difficulties. He is an independent artist and can talk about "taboo" subject surrounding mental-health. His cameraman "Samual Perry Falvey" is incredible. If you want some more Ren and incredible cinemtography, may I suggest "The tales of Jenny and Screech" ... as well as Money Game ( 1, 2, and especially 3) ... much love!

Ren is a once in a generation voice. It’s not just music talent, but seemingly limitless creativity, as well as wisdom forged through years of struggle. His “One Million Subscribers” video is worth watching, since he shares more of his ethos. He also has an incredible team around him, including Samuel Perry-Falvey who filmed this and many of his other one-shot videos.

Welcome to the movement that is Ren. Follow this amazing journey, deep dive into his rabbit hole. We are RENegades. Welcome. Everyone is giving you great songs to react to. Listen to 'For Joe,' live version.

The genre is "Bardcore" (I believe coined by Ren himself)

I'm so glad you found Ren. Things will never be the same... just look at your subscription numbers and already you will see that with Ren comes change. He's changing the world as he changes each of us, one by one. Welcome! You're gonna' love it here! Thanks for a wonderful reaction!

Welcome to Ren a wonderful artist great reaction

🎉❤

Gotta love Ren

Ren gives the Gift of Understanding and is such a Master at his Craft fits in not 1 Genre in Every single one and then some. Welcome to The Rollercoaster Ride of Ren. Your channel is going to Blow up so Enjoy. ❤

Welcome to the world of Ren. The rabbit hole starts here.!!!❤❤

You are good enough

Ohhhh, now you've done it. 😂 Welcome to the Renegade.

I enjoy your reactions. Next to ИF, Ren has really opened my eyes to a lot of things 😮❤

Ren has called his storytelling "bardcore" it is its own genre, he's a genius ❤

Wonderful reaction! Sick Boi is a great follow up to Hi Ren. Ready for the Ren rabbit hole! I discovered Ren around this time last year and I'm not sure I've gone a day without hearing at least one of his songs lol! I've lived through five decades of great music, and I can tell you, Ren is a breath of fresh air. Subbed and hello from Canada!

Start your Ren Playlist now

Oh dude you're in for a treat. You'll be blown away by his versatility and one take videos. For tips on what to watch next: The tale of Jenny and Screech, Money game part 1,2 and 3 and for some incredible chemistry, watch Ren & Chinchilla's How to be me. I wish I was in your position, because there's so much that will move you seeing it for the first time. I' wanna see you in awe with probably every single video you'll watch. Cherish the experiences you're about to take in when you dive into this master of storytelling. Thanks for the reaction. Hope you will do more.

That speechlessness at the end is always soooo satisfying. That speech at the end really brings it home.

the genre is Ren

New to your channel, Ren has no gender of music limitations, he makes his art many forms, he writes, plays many instruments, sings, raps, everything! I really enjoyed your reaction, I hope you check out more of his music….welcome to the Ren rabbit hole ❤

Ren's fan base includes but not limited to, ALL ages, races, religions, genders, etc, etc, etc!!! He n the youtube reactors have an amazing respect for each other...His fanbase is unheard-of compared to anyone else on the planet...Totally independent, humble, wanting humans to do better...No backing of any sort from the greedy muzic industry...Making history on being the only artist to not only chart but make #1 on the (UK charts) with no touring, radio airplay, corporate money, just word of mouth from youtube reactors, internet fans from around the world 🌍🌎🌏 The RENegades😊 All this while during treatment in Canada...His health n mental issues are gut wrenching to learn about ...Yet this has helped to shape this extraordinary human being.. Welcome to the rabbit hole of Ren...Enjoy😊🫶💝 New subscriber 😊

The guy is one of a kind.

Awesome I loved everything about it.i would buy his album it's a song that shows he's an artist a True artist not just any singer that reads words and sings , he's one that shows his talent as true art. I will always remember REN, I can't get enough, REN your Brilliant

Time humbles all of us. Which reminds me, Ren: Humble and Ren: Genesis

Ren performs many different genres, but this storytelling style we call Bardcore. The 13.5 minute trilogy video on his channel called "Tales Of Jenny & Screech (& Violet)" is a great example. He and his filmmaker friend Sam Perry-Falvey are masters of the one take. This was take 4 before they got thrown out of the building. Anyone who says you can't be creative with next to no money, show them this. The lights flickering with the dark personality was so effective. Yes it was live with a few mikes and painstakingly patched and tweaked in post. Ren came to popular attention just over a year ago with this, and got a well-deserved and seemingly impossible number one album 'Sick Boi' last October despite no record label or performances - he remains in Canada getting stem-cell treatment to try and repair the neurological damage caused by years of misdiagnosis and neglect of lyme disease. His chronic pain is all too real. The pig mask is a reoccuring theme. He's a world-class lyricist and rapper, musician, producer, and you should check our his raps and rock music, as well as his live street performances with his band, The Big Push. He's been a joy to millions of new fans this past year and fingers crossed we'll get new music from him soon.

Oh - you are going to enjoy the journey into Bardcore. The Ren Journey is something else.
