YOUNG REN!!! | Trick the Fox- A Mash Up (Reaction) 

I love this reaction. he is human 🥰 and it took years to get to where he is today. he isn't a one night superstar, many trials and battles. but again....REN IS HUMAN. I think ppl forget sometimes

Aww baby REN ❤🇬🇧

This is around the time he got signed. And I can certainly see why they signed him. So talented at such a young age. I'm so glad he's gotten healthy enough to enjoy the fruits of his labor and see the success he deserves, without a label!

Ren has always had the music in him.. it comes out through every pore.. Thanks Cliff.. so glad you are still here.. 🙂🙂

I forget whether he was 19 or early 20s, but I believe it was around the time he got signed and then unfortunately very ill soon after. It’s a little bittersweet seeing this young man with all the hope and energy to go conquer the world when all that came crumbling down and put on pause for so many years spent in bed. But luckily he is a fighter who is now finally making those dreams reality and seeing his hard work pay off. Plus it always puts a smile on my face to watch Ren have so much fun ❤ Especially knowing that he didn’t lose that sense of humour 😂

Baby Ren!!!!! 🎉🎉Let’s Gooooooo

So cuuuuuuuute. Baby Ren. Thanks for sharing.

Trick the fox got some great underated songs out there 🎉

Baby Ren 😂 this is his first band, i believe he was in university at this time just before he became ill and got noticed by Sony ❤

Baby ren with fuzzy hair 😍💜💜

Baby Ren is sooo cute

❤❤❤❤

❤

This was GREAT. You have got to see, Trick The Fox playing live at the Adidas store in Manchester. There are at least 3 videos. That's right, Ren and the guys are playing while customers were shopping. I believe it was like a grand opening. Seriously check them out. ❤🤗❤

The other lad playing bass was Charlie Fowler.

Love Trick the Fox. Ren was fantastic then and now he is just above and beyond!! Thanks. You just made my day!❤

I adore baby Ren..He was around 20 and had just been signed but very shortly after he started to become very ill and had to return home to live with his mum. Thank you I love the way you support Ren and the people he collaborates with him ❤ Thanks for introducing me to Matt Rife... he's hilarious 😂😂

Born to be a superstar! Great choice and reaction,

No matter how talented you are, you've still got to practice practice practice! Ren has put in the time, and now he's reaping the rewards.

Love it! Living room poetry should be next- my most watched RU-vid vid this year!

In 4 days, it will be the 1 year anniversary of when Hi Ren premiered. It currently has over 22 million views. I think it would be really cool for all of the reactors to make a video for Ren, telling him what an impact he has had on us all this past year. He's changed lives.

So proud of Ren you can see he has worked so hard and has endured so much thats why people of all ages are drawn to his music❤ thanks Cliff your one of my fav reactors appreciate you brother.

👍🏽👍🏽❤️❤️❤️👵🏼Thank you

Both you and Ren are wonderful human beings❤.

Love this Ren

I love seeing young REN videos

Cliff i love young Ren!!❤ He's still just so incredibly talented!!! Hope your day is going well! Thank you for this!

Trick the fox - Runaway is worth doing too!

That was such a treat. He was already very talented along with his band mates.

I loved your face when I put in this request! 🤣Such a fun stream. Glad it's finally up for everyone to see.

Thanks for finding this! Wow!

Ren would have been 19 or 20 at the time. The other guy was Charlie Fowler

So much fun.❤❤❤❤

Baby Ren! Love Lost Boy by Trick the Fox.

❤ He was adorable even then! ❤

Good to watch the beginning.

All those kids out there playing guitar in their rooms and thinking I’m going to be a star one day! Well this will give them all hope! It’s what Ren does inspires and gives hope! ⭐️ thanks for doing this reaction 🔥👏👏👏👏

👍🔥🤟

Baby Ren is so cute. ❤ I hope he isn't having problems with to many fans. He just wants to make music and be left alone. I get that. I would still like to meet him and say hi though.

Nice one Cliff. yet another Ren Rabbit Hole to burrow down into. Bass player is Charlie Fowler btw

Loved it Cliff. Always love when people go back to younger Ren. He's just so good.

Thank You ! I can't imagine the pressure that comes with being glorified to that extent.

This is Ren before .... we know Ren after. I think either way he was going to be known. The difference I think is this young man would've been signed to a label and his music would've been much more mainstream. Trick The Fox started in 2008 -2009? So Ren would be 18 or 19 - at the same time he started experiencing symptoms. By 2012 Ren had to move home - his illness progressed. From the until 2015 he still has bits of music but it's sporadic. In 2015 he was diagnosed with Lyme and 2017 when Ren started busking with The Big Push.

00:33, nope, this is 22 year old Ren. He just looks young for his age because of his baby face and because his illness caused him to lose a lot of muscle mass between 19 and 21 years old. In this case, the video upload date of late May 2012 is spot on with when he and Charlie filmed this video. They discussed creating this song and video in their social media at the time. It was one of the first songs they released after they reformed their old band Trick the Fox. They had yet to reveal their new drummer, Tommy Frampton, so this and their previous song "Lost Boy" have no drum track. The first video that revealed Tommy was the one for their new arrangement of Ren's song "Run Away". In fall 2011, Ren and Charlie had finished recording about 20 tracks for Ren's solo album. In 2012 they decided to revive Trick the Fox and make it a band album. The old version of the band from 2010-2011 had 5 members - Ren (vocals), Charlie (bass), Chris (guitar), Jim (synth/keys), and Mike (percussion). The new version was a trio - Ren (vocals/guitar), Charlie (bass), and Tommy (drums). Unfortunately, Ren's health problems caused the album release to be put on hold. By July 2013, Ren's health hadn't improved, the band had split up, and the "Freckled Angels" album was still unfinished. Ren finally finished the album in 2015 and released it independently in December 2015, when he was 25.

Great reaction, great insight

Delightful ☺ this was fun

Hi Cliff, emphasizing your point This video is crazy, I enjoyed the music, dancing, references, beat, singing, rap and young Ren...Peace🤙☝️😌

I liked that .😊

This is an amazing throwback. Thanks for this❤Much love from Canada Cliff❤🇨🇦

Aw dude glad you covered this. You gotta see the Elements song from Trick the Fox its another gem.

Oh, this is so good

#Ren's Human.

I know what you mean that a lot of rappers are monitobe, or they are limited to a few flows ( is that the word I want ?). They don’t present it with thought put into besides Will it fit the flow I want to use. In one of the recent interviews Ren described that he hears rapping as like drumming, he’s not saying the words as words, he’s saying them to make a pattern and beat, the one the song needs.

Great to see him when he was healthy. Ren started mixing when he was 12 and probably 17 here.

Thank you for this reaction, I love seeing baby Ren💚🤗🍀

This was the "day" before the "long night" and 10 yrs later the dawn broke with "Hi Ren" .

@Cliff...Ren- Ahiahiahohah.....I thing you'll enjoy. It's got that old school Digable Planets, Bahamidia kinda vibe And another trick the Fox is The Four Elements. It's short but Just vocal, guitar and rest beatbox. Cool seeing young talented Ren and where his skills have now taken him

Hey Cliff you have to check out "Ren - Eden". Not from the album but the final chapter of the Money Game(s) challenges

I think he was close to 19 here... But I could be wrong

The “I made a sound” thing made me giggle big time considering his twitch bio is literally “I MAKE NOISES”

Could you do some more young Ren? Lost boy? Patience? He’s got some real 💎 I’d love for you to do those. 😊

Hello everyone

Bud you're looking a bit healthier. I know with everything you had going on the past while, you got quite a bit burned out, & it was visible. But you look like you have a bit of colour back in your cheeks & a little glint back in your eyes. Hope all is well m8.

@Cliff Beats Please react to Ren - Streetlights

🪽🤍🪽

He looks kid kid in this😅

Ren has his 10,000 hours in. That’s why he is so good

Hi Cliff. We missed you reacting to Morissette. She dropped a lot of new live performance music vids in her channel. Hope you react one. Thank you..❤❤❤

I remember when they released this, they have great music together
