Ren - Seven Sins | Reaction 

Rick boy, Rick boy, Beaten by a Sick Boi.

He’s also number 1 on iTunes U.S hip hop charts, beating Drake, coming in at number 2 and Tom McDonald at number 10. Thank you for the spectacular reactions!

I’m not gonna lie, with Ren’s health making it difficult for him to possibly ever tour, if he were to put on a show in the UK or somewhere far, I will have to renew my passport and fly to see him. I’m talking putting entire trip on credit card and then getting a second job to pay it off. That’s seriously where I’m at. He’s someone I had know idea I needed in my life.

Wales has a long tradition of male voice choirs and harmony, hence the opening bars of this

Come on you Americans, boost Ren and get him into the top 100. Get Billboard to notice him.

"We exile the shepherds and follow the sheep" - what a fucking line !

Men’s acapella chorus is a tradition in Wales. So Ren made himself into one.

Ren said this is one of his favorites on the album if not THE favorite and he MIGHT do a video for it. Not decided yet.

Your vision of Ren on a stage supported by a full orchestra while he tells his stories is an exciting one. Can you imagine that massive sound coming to an abrupt stop as Ren’s voice rises above all with only his guitar to carry the show. We can dream. Hoping his health improves to the point that he can tour. I would be first in line. Thanks for a great reaction.

To think that he made this album to push himself out of his comfort zone! He sounds very comfortable and he absolutely crushed it!!!

You can say this in many ways, but basically, Ren’s f*cking brilliant! Gifted lyricist, excellent multi instrumentalist, character actor combined with narration skills, and on top of that he can direct & produce his music videos with vision, knowing the best people to help him bring it all to fruition. Respect to Sam & all Ren’s crew, but ultimate respect and love to REN, for overcoming all the s*it that life has thrown at him, and still being a damn fine human being. From Annie, in Cornwall, UK🙂🌸

I can't stop listening to this one. I so want Ren to do a Bond theme now. 🥰

What an opening to the album. Not to mention the rest. The closing track, Sick Boi pt2, is the icing on the cake.

This is my favourite track on the album...possibly of all his tracks. But then i say that about a lot of them. 😂 His No 1 is even more astonishing when you realise he knocked Drake off the top spot to get there!

I can totally see SickBoi the musical. So many of his videos are one take anyway it’s such a natural for live theatre.

❤ your reaction so much, wales is so proud of Ren, the beginning of the song mean - sickness are my teachers, my smile broke,, my bones feel old, here lies the body of Ren, im sure he said he wrote it as his eulogy, song is fire ❤

I think this was the last song he composed for the albums. Truly amongst the best! Love the intro, too, composed - and rhyming - in Welsh.

He has said they are thinking of doing a video for this song. I really hope so! This song is so good!

I would love to see Ren putting this album to life on stage…it would be phenomenal!!!

This song gets better with every listen. Favourite song on the album.

Just a brilliant opening track for this album. It’s a darker track, which I love. It goes so hard and really paints a vivid picture of what he’s had to endure. Have I ever felt pain? Maybe, but he really puts it in perspective with a glimpse of what he has had to go through. He’s one inspiring artist, man.

I love your analysis of songs and your appreciation for Ren. You're right, the fact that Ren is so well read and so knowledgeable about music, literature, history...all these things add to his lyric arsenal

I think this is one of Ren's best songs, it's so intricate. Great reaction, as always - thank you for saving your reaction to share with us!

I would love to hear this with a full orchestra!

Seven Sins Lyrics by Ren I lay broken on the kitchen floor I clawed at the laminate Pain wandered my body An uninvited guest Bones of a home where the devil could rest I cursed the gods, Cursed my messiah, Cursed my maker I cursed all of creation Where I lay, Feeble and thin, Sick boy, sick boy, Suffer my sin Have you ever felt pain? Stomach wrenching, Unrelenting Tell me, Have you ever felt pain? Condescending, Muscles clenching, Tell me, Have you ever felt pain? A rose emerges from the pavement cracked I’ll write my eulogy with broken glass Eternal parallax Pain Pain the author, I accept this Pain the teacher, Bruised apprentice Pain resists, Pain will come Pain the mother, I’m the son Pain that splits you, And two when it hits you The dark and the light all converge to one Pain that twists you, The heavens dismiss you The father, the ghost, And the holy son Body bags, body bags, Body bagging me Zip it up quick, If things don’t be I search for peace In the belly of a beast Sick boy, sick boy, Onomatopoeia Running up a fever, Following a leader Wanna be me, huh? Grasses and greener Bright lights, Seizure, Dynamite dealer Dine at the table Of the coroner, E-top fuck Thirteen years, And I’ve been feeling so stark Lucky number thirteen, Just my luck Empires tumble, Rumble and dust The universe shrinks, And the planets come bust In God we trust, God tied a noose to his neck, And he walked to the edge, And he jumped Angels wept, I bear witness, Watching the whole thing Unfold from my bed A bed where I never deep rest A bed where I’m always depressed A bed with a human old crest A bed for a tomb where I slept A bed in the room That’s a womb for this mess Sick boy, Bitten by a tick boy Tell me how it feels To be buried while you breathe Stones and sticks, boy Pain is a gift, boy Hard to make you stand When you crawl on your knees And I kneel I kneel at the altar Of my own disease, And I beg I beg the sky for mercy mercy never came I dip me dirty, 33 and hurting Cursing Jesus died at 33, And stole my sins A lurking gears returning Future stays uncertain, Surgeon incision Murder ambition, Fear of the unknown Preserves a religion Dean asked the gods When my body went missing Back then, The pain spray ricocheted Like a Mac-10 Hot lead hit the bed That was trapped in Red wings seraphim Out of God’s grace Cried tears from heaven Like Clapton Stick pins in the voodoo, Hendrick Stick skin stay humble, Kendrick Stay scared, Protect the biometrics Blood stained crime scene, Forensic Lights on, Lights out Fade into the background So down, So down Running from the silhouette Of self-doubt Bye now, Bye now Really should’ve figured This shit out Lights on, Lights out (Smackdown) Let it be, Let it be Quote John Lennon Click-clack, John got shot for attention What does that tell you About the good of intentions? Bitterness formed In a storm of aggression Prophets get dropped [?] Six, six, Followed by six, seven, seven Build them, praise them, Bury them dead I was born to be half a man With half a chance My heart is in half, Half righteous, Half is damned Half a gram, Heart goes, Troubles end Thoughts stay darker than Uruk-hai master plan Sharper than Glass jars splinter and Sinner man, sinner man Irony could kill a man He makes money When the music lands, Expand Pay me my G’s, Rain down Parmesan Followed by seven, Seven whole sins For a self-made Armageddon Sin one, pride, pride makes a man kill a man forbid ego to survive Sin two, Lost, Lost makes the grass look greener, Crucifies trust Sin three, Gluttony, Humans consume and consume, Planet Earth gets a frontal lobotomy Four, Sloth, Rinse and repeat, Reruns repeat, Time lost Sin five, Envy, That’s when one man’s win Is another man’s frenzy Sin six, Wrath, Rage, Vengeance, Killers, Psychopaths Sin seven, Greed, Greed plants a seed That will destroy us all If we succumb to greed Then take more than we need, then our oceans will bleed Still, we feed and we feed and we sleep and repeat Then we exile the shepherds and follow the sheep We inherit the mean We inherit this world that we bruised and we beat We inherit this vanity, circles of greed Inherit the liars, the murderous thieves One sin for every one day of the week

Ren just keeps impressing me song after song after song, the boy is indeed "sick" .Without question

Let’s get him in the top 100 in the US. Like the reactors and give a comment. Needs to be done asap.

Ren has an abundance of creativity, intelligence, and empathy. Can’t wait to see what he does going forward as he has already made changes to people’s lives. Plus somehow he keeps getting better and better though I can hardly grasp the level he is already at 😅

Yup he could easily do a West End musical. I understand he's in talks with Netflix so here's hoping

I have started rewatching Ren Reactions. This kid one of my favourite. I could absolutely see Ren in his own massive Show his own beats, music song and I would be in heaven. The build in this track and the changes are amazing. Ren said it was supposed to be a short introduction to the album. But he just kept building it. I couldn’t imagine it any different. Great Reaction. Thank you.

thank you for continuing to react and support my favourite artist ever the album is amazing sending big love from the UK ❤❤❤

Love how passionate you are about Ren 🇬🇧

I cried when I watched Ren hear on the radio he is #1 so happy for him! Love this song too but I wish there was a lyric video because I struggle with fast rapping, my brain just doesn't work that fast anymore nowadays. Thanks for reacting to it. When I want to feel good and need an uplifting video I always turn to you ☻ i relate to this song with my chronic condition, well i relate to the entire album actually

This song is packed to the top with meaning and depth! I think this one speaks to REN’s philosophy on getting through life! He is a visionary which is rare for someone so young. I believe REN is able to create any genre he chooses and it will always be alchemy! He is a true Golden Boi. Thank you for your accurate reactions.

This track is so dam sick… from the sickest boi in the game

Love your reactions. Dom, I sent you a Ren's Sick Boi CD as a small gift. (It seems they have not shipped them for the US yet as I have not received mine.)

He's surpassed himself with his penmanship, I didn't think he could.

This is so 🔥🔥 🔥. I had to get up and dance to this the first time I heard it, it so got in my soul!

This album is indescribable ! #1

the first of this is Welsh it translate too Illness is my teacher. It broke my smile. My bones feel old. Here lies the body of Ren."

Love this track!! Great reaction 💖🖤💖can’t wait to get my cd.

You helped to get to no1❤❤

I think you’re the first reactor I’ve seen that directly referenced his intelligence. His time ill and reading constantly is now a superpower 🔥😀👍

Absolutely see this as a stage production! I would travel anywhere in the world to see him in concert or a theatrical stage.

And when I thought Ren cannot suprise me anymore this came out. Might be my top 5 of Ren although there is so many great tracks it is hard to pick which one is the best. I guess there is just no need to select but rather embrace this guy's talent. Great reaction bro. Much love from Poland .

Great reaction. You should check out his song Children of the Moon, it just shouts a Broadway song

Great reaction. Comment on all the folks reacting/supporting Ren!

Ren #1 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

7 verses, 7 flows, 7 sins, very clever sick boi ♥️ 👌 👏

I absolutely can see him in a theatre, full orchestra, it would be a 🤯🔥🙌🏻 experience. Let him know we need this to happen. 🤭🥰 warmest wishes from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🫶🏻🤍

Its a helluva way to start off an album isnt it 😂 so good 💜

I can see the vision come to life!!!!!!! I think he can “reinvent “ concerts to theater productions that are live one shoots that then can be in theaters… As a fan base with many of us in chronic illnesses .. We recognize how hard a tour would be on him in a traditional fashion… Just my opinion

I see it unfolding first just crew making a wave and then Ren appears and takes over ❤

Love watching other people's joy from Ren. Dude's a thinker. Not many philosophers pen their thoughts to music. Ren's unique and so talented. ❤

Love your take and especially your double-takes!

"He has so many words up here" --- absolutely! He is incredibly well read. Truely believe his intelligence is on genius level.

This song, more than any other, brought home the agony that Ren went through. It makes me cry every time. At the same time the structure, the beats, the singing ... i absolutely love it. A masterpiece

So off the hook.. loved it!♥️thanks!

This song to me is almost a synthesis/summary of the album. This makes sense since it was the last song written, a few months ago.

Probably my favourite song from Sick Boi! So relatable as someone who lives with chronic pain and so creative. I agree, this one needs a video! Great reaction ❤❤

Wicked ways omg its just wow

YES!!!!!! Rens catalog could totally be written for theatrical stage. But don't give that idea away!

For those of us who have been following this journey (at least since Hi Ren ) we’ve listened to each single Ren dropped as just that, a single. But NOW we know that they were not singles at all; they were links , each one has some element- a lyric, beat, flow and cadence, reference- that conjoined them. Ren is without a doubt highly intelligent (IQ) but it’s his EQ , emotional and empathetic Q that has made his community of fans so diverse and devoted.

I have cluster headaches (look it up), pain of the overwhelming sort is lonely. No one believes your pain... they pretend to, but don't really understand. When you have experienced pain that literally makes you question whether living is worth it, it changes you. This song speaks to me..., but I am lucky, my headaches go into year long remissions. Others aren't so lucky.

My favorite line is tell me how it feels to be burried while you breath. That line is so vivid in its imagery!

I don't know if someone already noticed but the violin line is palyndrome, you can hear it in reverse from 9:10 with the same melodic line! It's like Bach's Crab Canon..crrrrrrazy!!!

Sick Boi live show, just take my money

I love this song! Great reaction!

The intro to this is Ren singing multi-tracked in his native Welsh (he comes from Anglesey, the large island off the north west coast of Wales, UK.) The words in English are: "Illness is my teacher/It broke my smile/My bones seem old/Here lies the body of Ren".

❤ it.

Ren is the Bomb !! Hes the greatest..thank God we are hearing his music , I'm truly Blessed !!

Singer I absolutely love your enthusiasm! You are always such a shining bright light that always warms my heart and put a smile on my face! We need more humans like you i this world!!

Ples do Uninvited!!! He sings sings on that one🎉🎉🎉🎉

God really owed him a break! So proud he made it to where he belongs. The top!! I've never been so proud of someone I never even met in person. It's crazy!!

super idea, a play with his own character. Ren, Sick Boy. Excellent

Lord, I just love you as much as I do him! You are a wonderful, wonderful, lovely being!! 🤟

In the USA sick Boi is sitting at 18 on the hip hop chart on iTunes, 1/15/24

I love listening to this reaction, have multiple times as I am a bit obsessed with Ren.

Welsh in the beginning! Which is awesome. He very good at honestly just saying how it is too feel completely angry and loss. When you are hurt or in pain and have no way to stop it. How you turn that into light by looking and finding it.

Your reactions never disappoint .

Love your reactions always ❤ I would be happy to see him in Brighton busking to be honest. He would be worth the flight from Sydney, Australia 🇦🇺

Always enjoy your reactions brother and what can we say about Ren originality!

Without a doubt we this is my favourite track from the album. His flows are amazing on this one

What a start to his album. Intelligent and again so bloody catchy. Great breakdown. 🎉

Thank you .Nice nice reaction.

Dude I want a video for this song, too!!!! You mentioned loco, I hope you skipped uninvited too! Can’t wait to see you do that one! Seven sins and uninvited the two I’m having the most fun listening to right now!

I love the lyric video of this. Able to read along with him and it hits hard.

Amazing reaction. Keep up the good work man.🙌💪

Well hi nick! It’s Andrea your day 1 here from Ireland. Hope you are well, got to be at club renny and saw the queen! 🇮🇪🐝🐝🐝

Ren and Aurora should get together and do a track. Ren the anger, Aurora mother earth's pain. It would be epic!

This song is every bit as good and powerful as Hi Ren or the Money Game trilogy.

Love your reaction ❤ soo happy for Ren and the crew as such a great feeling to see 😁👍 hope he chills out now and get his health in order 🤘❤️

🔥track 🔥reaction 🔥#1 Thank you Dom, you are part of his success, supporting his music & journey. Hope you’re doing ok xxx

Thank you another great reaction! I can’t get enough of this track. So many layers lyrically and musically! ❤🔥🇬🇧

This is probably my favorite song on the album. I know every song is fire on the album, but this one is my personal favorite

The choir at the beginning is welsh talking about a story of pain Ren is welsh

Really appreciate the way you do your "stuff" (sorry my vocabulary is poor but don't wanna say "thewayyoudoit"😉) Thank you 👍🤙

Love it so much it so good

Great reaction,Thanks Dom ❤
