Always be honest. Ren's pretty big on authenticity and, understandably, most of his fans are too. No art can be enjoyed by everyone, so there's nothing wrong with a song/person/band/etc not being a fit for you. As others commented, Ren is independent and a true lover of all sorts of music, so his discography is all over the place. I gravitate more towards his singing work or his storytelling. IDK your interest so it's hard to make a suggestion. There's one video that is a cover medley, mostly singing but with a little dead prez at the end, "I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop" that is posted by his fomer band, The Big Push "Genesis" is a favorite for many hip-hop heads. "Ocean" by Ren & Eden Nash is a favorite of mine and mixes a few styles. "Seven Sins" is the introductory track of the recent Sick Boi album I love it because it's like 5 songs in one.

Much appreciated to be honest I’m going to be listening to more Ren based off his fans. You all seem very humble and graceful. I appreciate that there are very few fans dumping on me for my opinion quite rare nowadays. I’m a big fan of hip hop dating back to the 90’s and I love R&B as well. To me rap (Rhythm and Poetry) has always been a deep layered genre that explores individuals existence and vulnerabilities in this world. So I’m looking forward to seeing how he ho it’s the culture with his take. Def stay tuned and I appreciate the recommendations!

Hey man, you don't have to apologize for being honest, at least not to us, I respect you that much more and just dropped a sub! I'm an old head myself, been into hip-hop since the days of Run DMC, The Beasties and Public Enemy, trust me when I say, this kid is a true student of the culture, but he also does just about any genre you can think of, with a special love for 90s East Coast Hip-hop. And he's got a lot of tracks that are real talk about issues we face today, and he's big into community and lifting each other up. I would say at least give him one more shot. My suggestion, and it's just that, not trying to demand you do either of these tracks, would be either "The Hunger", which is a track he dropped a couple years ago when he was just starting to gain some popularity and people questioned whether he could "rap rap". I call it his rap resume', 2 in half minutes of straight bars, lots of flow switch ups, and crazy cadences. The other track would be "Genesis", another fairly short track, but it's usually the song that convinces even the hard core doubters of his hip-hop abilities, that Ren does indeed, deserves to be called a rapper. His pen is ridiculous too, I think you'll enjoy either of those tracks. Again, great reaction, and much respect for staying true to you!! ✌💚

So, I’m not one to comment on videos. But you listened to the wrong Ren video for your first experience. Troubles is good, but it’s like a filler chapter in the book of Ren. There are many other videos that you should watch that are way better than that. Hi Ren is a proper introduction to Ren, The Hunger is a video that will show you the many pockets that he can rap in. Ren is not just a rapper. He transcends genres. I really hope that you do listen to more of Ren. He is an amazing artist and has a lot of songs. None of them are alike. They are all unique in their own special way.

If you are going to react to him again, might I suggest some hip hop tracks that resonate with many in the community who do great breakdowns. The Hunger (tons of flow switches and technical), Genesis Official Music Video, Nas Halftime Retake, (give it 30 seconds as it keeps building, and Wicked Ways Lyric video, you might catch some of the references there. Ren is a student of hip hop and the 90s are his bag. I say that because you recognize his storytelling ability already.

I can understand why you were not smitten with this track, this was a TLDR song dropped after he had done a 8 chapter reading of his life experiences and struggles with his Illness. Ren is source of light to those of us whom suffer from a myriad of ailments and diseases. But make no mistake, Ren is a multi-genre, multi-instrumentalist, produces his own beats, directs his own videos, his vocals include Rap, Reggae, R&B, Pop, Rock and even Beatboxing. He truly is a once in a generation artist, it's quite common for reactors to be tepid in their first exposure to Ren. Often because like you, they get dropped into a track without a reference or context. Btw Ren is from Wales and spent much of his life living in Brighton, where he busked and was discovered and signed by Sony. Alas due to Ren contracting Lyme Disease via a tick bite and fell seriously ill, his contract was terminated. Ren spent years trying to figure out what was wrong with him, mis-diagnosed and given medications and treatments he didn't need, meanwhile the Lyme Disease ravaged his body and brain unabated. It wasn't till a Belgian doctor properly diagnosed him that Ren finally had his answer and thus began his search for proper treatment. This is where the Stem Cell Doctor came into his life and though a Stem Cell Transplant, Ren was given back his life and a semblance of day to day normalcy. As others have said, Ren's album "Sic Boi" charted #1 in the UK, going up against the likes of Drake and Rick Astley. Keep in mind he is totally independent, no radio play, no marketing or promotion, relying mostly on Reactors and Fans. He is a big supporter of Reactors and insures any copyright issues are dealt with quickly. Forgive my diatribe, but I do truly hope you take some time and do more Ren Reactions, for starters..."Hi-Ren", "Sic-Boi", "Tales of Jenny and Screech" (13 minute full version), "Money Game Part 1-3, "I Shot the Sheriff" (His band "The Big Push"), "Castles in the Sand" (This one is straight up Hip-Hop Rap and goes Hard)...These will give you a more linear and clear picture of Ren as an Artist.

His accent is British, specifically he is Welsh (also speaks Welsh) , but has spent most of his adulthood in Brighton England and absorbed that accent too. His life with undiagnosed/misdiagnosed illness WAS dark, and so is the song. But eventually he has found treatment and a level of recovery. And yes, after so much suffering, he forgives god for the illness which has added to his artistic vision, made him something the cute boy teen boy pop star he was contracted to be and being groomed for might never have matured to. The song is ultimately positive.

Bro, it's really hard to make that decision based on one song. Especially this song. For you, I'd suggest Ren's Halftime Nas Retake, or Losing It FISHER rap retake where he raps over a mostly instrumental track by EDM artist FISHER. Don't worry about "the type of rap" that it is, because he has seversongs that are different rap styles. And that's just talking about his rap. He also does Reggae, rock, storytelling. He's a musical chameleon. Lastly, it should be known that Ren is not a rapper, he just likes to rap, and write lyrics, and decided to do a hip hop album. The album is so much more than hip hop though. No hate here man! I respect your opinion, and you had a great reaction to it. Check out more Ren on your own time, just so you don't miss out. He is very special. If you choose to not react to more of his work, i respect that, but do yourself a favor and listen on your own time. Thank you, and have a great day!

Not saying you can’t do other genres of music but in hip hop especially we have a long history of cultures and I won’t stand for it anymore.

But I think you will get a lot of joy from it, if you are open to experiencing music in a different way than you have before.
