REN | The Big Push - I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop 

Ren makes music. The only description for him.

Ren has mentioned in interviews that as he was developing his singing voice he realized his tone matched Sting's pretty well and he is hugely influenced by both Sting and the Police. He has also said that the busking session audio from each instrument went into iPhones. He worked meticulously to get the audio capture to what we have here. He said it was a labor of love and is happy that these performances are preserved for others to discover. Thanks for reacting to the Reniverse!

Ren is a blessing from the music Gods, we need him in this world right now. Much love and respect

Ren is just a musicians musicians. And he's self taught. He was born with this talent

I never get tired of people reacting to Ren 🤯

“REN is Music” love this!!!!!! Everything by REN and the Big Push is 🔥great reaction!

Fire 🔥 I agree with you that Ren is an alien from the planet “musica” - he is a “once in a generation” artist and I’ve never run across anyone like him in my 62 years being a rocker growing up in the 70s!!! 🔥💯❤️👏🙌

My brain is blown away by all Ren is doing. Video Grapher. Raps, sings with range. Writes music. He .makes his own videos. Produces. He is wise beyond his years. He brings struggling artist up to the public .he answers and does interviews with reactors. He is well aware with what made him famos. Yesterday he started a go fund me type of thing for a young smart reactor. He remembers where he is from. His reactor interviews are so open and awesome. I can't believe that he is able to do this while being sick 10 yrs. Mis diagnoses killing his ammune system. Now finally 10 yrs he is being treated for Lyme Disease. I have tried to find flaws in his music and videos. But I can't. He is so very honest and humble. No way to box him to any genre. Look my kids think I too old to be a fan but there's no words. Deep lyrics trying to help us as humans. ❤❤❤❤ HE MUST GET WELL! WE NEED HIM IN THIS WORLD FOREVER.

Ren Is music…❤

You should check out The Big Push covering "Wade in the Water - Nina Simone - Trouble So High" Ren plays bass and he freaking plays it like a lead guitar. The man is phenomenal.

I haven't seen anyone listen to and watch this video and not smile, especially during Romain's solo. It's such a good vibe and you can see they love and feel their music and that's infectious.

I have seen Ren and The Big Push perform live many times in Brighton and it is never less than magical.

Reggae is a big part of British culture so it's not to strange seeing someone like Ren sing in that style, some of the best reggae singers of all time was signed to UK labels back in the day. One of the most iconic British reggae songs is Pass the Dutchy by the Musical Youth from Birmingham.

REN ALL DAY! I love life more because he exists. His artistic expression is profound.

I always look forward to you checking out more Ren. He has a new song releasing tomorrow that has a heartbreaking backstory.

Warpigs next plz It came right after this one 😉🔥🔥🔥

I agree...Ren is music. Look at all the very different performers he performs with, he delivers something different to each, but he is the glue that makes the performance whole. As he says in "Hi Ren", he is a genius.

Same performance, their cover of Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs” Ren’s bandmate Romain Axisa goes off on a little guitar solo. 🔥🔥🔥

Well, if you want to continue this busking session...The Big Push War Pigs. It was the very next mashup they played. It's a mashup of War Pigs, Paranoid, Crazy Train, and Rage Against the Machine's Killin in the Name. Awesome vid! Love your reactions. Ren is music is a fitting description!

Ren is an actual artist. he isnt just a rapper or just a guitar player or just a singer, or just an actor. he is all of those and more.

Bob Marley and Sting and The Police are some of Ren’s favourite artists! He has a well rounded understanding of music all types and is great at all of them! He is the most exciting Artist I have seen since the 70’s hands down!

It 's actually a Gem session !!! Not easy to understand the majesty of this man , I agree ! Shockingly good. All of them together too .

What's nuts is immediately after this performance he did War Pigs. (Which is a must listen to) My absolute favorites from him outside of Hi Ren are Ocean, Losing It, and Calk Outlines (live, without Chinchilla)

5:06 "Ren is SO Good!" Yes. Always love watching reactors react to this! Thanks for the Patreon requesting this! 🙂❤

😆 you are always so composed lol. Refreshing to see you unable to hold back your smiles! Amazing feeling when we connect with music in this way! Thank you sir, for another great reaction! Now I'm smiling ❤

Black Pegasus did an interview with Ren, he talked about his musical influences and mentioned Sting and how reggae was big in the UK when he was growing up. It’s a great watch.

#Ren #TheBigPush I so hope they have a reunion! I see a few bands/artists this year but Ren/The big push would be top of the list if that was possiblity!! 🔥❣️

Yep. The “majesty” and “masterful” musicianship is there. Thanks for a great reaction. 💐

Ren is making music great again

Yes, Ren becomes the music. Perfect. Unafraid and unashamed he surrenders to the art of music and performance.

The Big Push also does a cover of "Wade in the Water". It shows more of different vocal ranges in the group. EVERYONE of them is mad talented!

I’ve never seen an artist more free to be whatever he feels like being. What is Ren? Free. And he’s freeing us in the process.

I've seen maybe 10 reactions to this song because I'm obsessed with how good it is.. but I couldn't want for you to drop your reaction man, awesome! Knew you'd be into this one. "Ren is just music, that's what he is"... might be the best quote yet to summarize the man

REN is from the Andromeda Galaxy!!! He brings Music!!

There is a charismatic aura about Ren and the Big Push and they are oozing with talent! They put their everything into their performances and it comes through! I'm so grateful for the void they fill in the music industry❤

Ren is to music what Stevie Ray Vaughan was to the guitar.

You say “frustration” your face says pure joy. ❤

HI REN is up for a GRAMMY it's been nominated

Thank you for your great reaction!!❤

You can't go wrong with Ren - every new song I discovered became a new favorite on constant playback Hold On, Ocean, Life is Funny, Humble, Dominoes, Depression, Insomnia, Penitence, Everybody Drops, Diazepam, Fire (early, but awesome rock song) - the list goes on and on - I love love them all! Also, please check out the Big Push originals - Watch Out (live) Dignity, Sweet Little Lady (live acoustic) Precious, All My Heroes - so, so good! He just doesn't disappoint, only uplifts or takes on emotional journey!

thank you for reacting and supporting my favourite artist and band ❤❤❤

Ren is simply unquantifiable.

War pigs medley, please. The big push went straight into that in this performance, absolutely amazing as always

Sweet Little Lady (Live Acoustic) - The Big Push 👍

He’s a working musician. Ren is a voracious music lover who hangs with other great working musicians. Going into the world in front of people is how great performers are created. America has become a studio centric

Many have said it before, Ren is an alien 👾👽🎸

Musically fluid, massively talented.

What an amazing performance! Ren is so special!

“…the majesty that is Ren”

There is a genre with Ren, But I think it only show's up once or twice in a lifetime. Ren's artistic performance is what you get when you cross life with anguish and pain, and pure raw musical talent!

When the man upstairs passed out Talent, Ren went back for seconds, Thirds and Fourths!!!

MRLBOYD. With all due respect, REN is a portal to another musical Universe where the art is pure and unfettered. Keep the REN coming good Sir

Yayyyy so happy you’re diving into Ren. He’s the real deal, a true inspiration in this f’d up world. ❤❤

💯They say humans are 99% energy. Pretty sure Ren is 99% music. …artistry really.

So glad you discovered this jamming piece.

This is awesome; and I agree with you Mrboyd, he is music, how about he is the music man, like he is the super hero of music 😊

No emerging artist of the last 30 years has excited me the way Ren has. His talent and creativity is just a force of nature, making its own way through the world. Yeah, more Ren is great with me.

REN And The Big Push Just Keep Raising The Bar.

Ren IS music 100% - The Big Push are brilliant, they have such a lot of fun and are so talented! Thanks for checking this out - it is brilliant.....

Ren and the whole band are Incredible!

Ren is Sting/Queen/Bob Marley/Beasty boys, rolled into 1. We just need him to get well. The UK needs his music. The world needs his music. To Ren if you read this get well soon bro your truly loved the world over.

"Ren & Sam Tompkins (Ram Jam Black Betty?) Improvising Around Stevie Wonder", Ren & Sam (Tompkins) "Blind Eyed ft. Angry Car Park Attendant" ;-) Ren "The Hunger", Ren "What You Want", Ren "Power", Ren & Chinchilla "Chalk Outlines" ❤

*REN is the Swiss Army knife of music the one with the fork and the spoon.*

Ren is an artist. He is fantastic woth music, impersonation, acting. He's a very unique force of nature and he will not be put into a box I believe.

I like that, "Ren is music". "Ren ft Bibi - Crutch" is one of my favourites from Ren

I remember years ago, Philip Philips on American Idol would move his whole body when singing/playing guitar and I think it was JLo that said it was like the music was like electricity flowing through his body. And watching Ren (especially when playing the guitar at the beginning) you can see his whole body feeling every single note. And it reminds me of that comment. I never forgot it because Philip felt like the music to me rather than the cookie cutter pop stars they usually had on the show.

Great reaction. Yes, Ren is music! There isn't another box big enough to hold him. Great songs by Ren... early Ren; Patience, Run Away, Fire. From a while back; Hold On, Ocean, Ready For You. w/ the big push; Precious, Dignity, Watch Out, Glory Glory.

Ren is his own box!🤗 You have the smile like you're watching your younger brother doing something awesome! I LOVE THAT!😍 There's not a bad song anywhere that I have found from Ren or The Big Push. They are absolutely mindblowingly awesome. It frustrates me to no end as like you. I blame the algorithms. They should've been WORLDWIDELY known long ago! Anywho... Awesome reaction as always! Peace and love always until there is no more!😊❤

"Blinded Eyed and the Angry Carpark Attendednt" is well worth a shout!

Since a few months ago, all I listen to is Ren and his group of friends. So amazing. Once every generation or so we are blessed like this.

"Ren - Hold On" is definitely another banger to hear.It's on the heavy side of things with an aftertaste of hope that gives you closure

Great reaction. You should try Big Push Bongo Bong. Live on a rooftop. Definition of musicianship and chill vibes. Top draw.

I can't remember ever seeing Mr L Boyd smile so much during a video. If that doesn't just say it all :)

This is one my favourite live performances it’s Amazing,Thank you

Ren IS music .... love it!

Thank for your reaction and enthusiasm. The Nina Simone mash up Wade in the water/Trouble/New day ( the Big Push) is absolutely stunning, but actually all of the Big Pusch is also ‘ improvising around Stevie Wonder with Sam Tompkins’. Enjoy

MrBloyd! Love it when the music makes you genuinely smile! Very special. Ren -Humble ft Eden Nash is lovely too. ❤

Ren is an ARTIST, that's the best way I can describe him. However, everyone in the big push are super talented artist as well. Romain (Dude with the black guitar) makes some really good music as well.

I love that so much, “Ren is music” . You’ve nailed it.

The expression on your face was the same as on all these young faces in the crowd. A wave of love. Well deserved.

Ren is the next chapter in the 'insane musicians' book which already includes Bowie, Waits, Jimi, Trent Respect & Peace

As An Englishman who lives in th USA …. This right here is British music culture!!!

From this to War Pigs by Black Sabbath - well worth a listen.

I think you'd really like the Big Push war pigs cover

Do the next song they did at this concert, War Pigs But then there is so much, everyday I find a new "favorite" song by Ren and I never have any idea the genre.

HUMBLE, OCEAN, LOVE MUSIC 1 2 N 3, WHAT U WANT, FIRE, POWER, U can pick any, all different, all brilliant

Reggae has been instilled in uk music culture since the 60s😊

I loved the smile on your face during this whole song

great mashup....mad talent

ren and sam tompkins earned it-man's world-falling . Cheers

Loved your reaction so much! I don't think you've done The Big Push - Wade in the water / Nina simone / Trouble so hard or their cover of Bongo Bong yet! You will love these!

War Pigs, they played it next on this very session. It is absolute madness! Please!

Bingo bong highly worth a listen to

❤️Ren❤️

Always surprising -Never disappointing

I heard him say he is pretty much inspired by everything.

I love that you had a smile ear to ear for this one... pure joy... pure music!

Ren is from Wales. This is filmed in Brighton, UK. He's no longer with this group. They all just went they're own ways. Such a shame! Love this medley.

The Big Push: Wade In the Water, Sweet Little Lady (not the acoustic version), Englishman in New York. Ren and Sam: Walking on the Moon, It’s a Man’s World. Ren: Crutch, Fire, Ocean.

Incredible! We are all so lucky to have Ren! I love The Big Push; I love everything the man does.
