ALMOST GOT ME!! | Rapper FIRST TIME REACTION to Ren - Mackay

[@pepinosylvie8887]

Man ... Next one you have to do is For Joe... Ren sings on his key board and it's... no words... Joe, one of Ren's closest friend commited suicide when Ren was 20 and 6 months later, Callum Mackay died tragically by drowning... The song, For Joe, is a wonderful tribute ... and the song Mackay is also an amazing one ... Thanks man, great reaction as always 👍😘

[@Jadedxx]

Dont apologize for incorporating you're trials and tribulations, loss into your reactions. We Renegades appreciate that 🔥🖤

[@Christinelacroix_mammabubs]

Absolutely right about that

[@tjh5716]

Yes totally agree

[@tundiel]

Ren's storytelling is so elite he doesn't even need words ❤ The shock and joy on your face was wonderful, such a lovely reaction. Sorry for all of your losses too, dude ❤

[@mldkenny]

Disco Doc's reaction to this Masterpiece explains the story behind the tribute and really is worth watching.

[@audivawalsh2983]

If you ever doubted he could play and compose piano pieces, this is proof. So lovely.

[@arielbussart1305]

I always feel 10 miles closer to my late brother whenever I hear this piece ❤ He would have LOVED Ren, their ambitions for humankind were very much aligned. He passed in 2020 (age 28) and Ren has brought me so much peace through his work.

[@garysherwin3316]

Brought a tear to my eye

[@chrisbeleski5913]

I don't know much about writing or playing music, but I know what moves me. And this is genuinely one of the most hauntingly beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard. Your reaction did it justice. Great video as always!

[@dottedlinewent]

Such a great song, you have to do “for Joe”, Ren also plays piano in this one, but he does sing and it’s sort of a mix between two of his songs, freckled angels and su!cide.

[@Mooley81]

Next needs to be FOR JOE! Another tribute to his fallen best friend by suicide.

[@nrsvlda70]

Actually, knowing the background of this song - it makes it even better. He’s telling their story without words.. it’s really amazing. Great reaction, thank-you for sharing. And - I’m so sorry for your loss too.. sending Gma hugs.

[@suzieclarke6744]

I don't think there is an artist out there that touches so many parts of my soul as Ren, he is a bottomless pit of talent, lovely reaction Love from UK

[@krikat3485]

I love that this one shows off not only REN’s piano talent, but the beautiful scenery in Drumheller, Alberta! Ren is full of surprises, isn’t he? Yes, he plays, and composed the music n Money Game 3. He often jams on keyboard in Patreon. He has accompanied Sam Tompkins, also, in some videos. There’s even one out there somewhere with him playing background in a ritzy bar. I think he’s been playing piano since he was 14.

[@MissMeKate]

Perfect song of yours to share at the start. ❤

[@goomymf]

Yo I've never heard this before. Thank you Prada.

[@jasonremy1627]

Ren is made of music. He can tell a story without saying a word.

[@SandraGrabinski-ob8ql]

Thank You Ren. You play beautiful music.

[@LeeAnneCooper-z4k]

Absolutely beyond magical, both the reaction and the raw talent of Ren. I listen to this all the time. ❤ To pradawest, your son and all your supporters ❤

[@vickyknight4461]

So pleased you reacted to this one Prada…I also love the song you wrote for your Mum, super special tribute to her. ❤️‍🩹 Ren evokes so many emotions. His friend Callum sadly drowned along with a friend who tried to save him. So very sad…😔 A few suggestions for you… Big Push -Dignity (original song), Praise You Ren- Heretic, Patience, Streetlights and the live stream with I’m in Love that he did with Liv Sangster. Romain Axisa (from the Big Push) -Tears , Time after Time Sam Tompkins- Lose it all, Thank God you talked to me, Hero (live at the Hammersmith Apollo) Take care ☺️

[@PradaWest]

It’s great 👍🏼

[@MsCheesemonster13]

Excellent reaction - thank you. xx

[@TofferJ-UK]

Bless, I was 28 when I lost my Mom, we were very close. I’m 63 now…. Still miss her ❤🇬🇧

[@stevecody9878]

No words but still speaks to everyone ❤

[@k1k2voyer]

This gorgeous video was filmed in Drumheller, about 45 min from us here in Calgary, largest dinosaur graveyard in the world. Ren did play piano in Money Game 3 and in For Joe, his best friend who died from suicide about 14 years ago.

[@dottedlinewent]

As far as Ren being a multi-instrumentalist, this is super true. He also produces most of his own music. If you wanna see something really crazy watch his retake called losing it. It’s an electronic house song that he raps over and it’s insane.

[@jorice5528]

Such a stunning poignant piece in tribute to his mate Callum. Lovely reaction Prada❤

[@PradaWest]

Appreciate you, the song is so powerful.

[@jorice5528]

@@PradaWest ❤️ it truly is, the visuals in my mind created by the depths of his playing are so vibrant.

[@iamsquatty]

Even without words, ren says a lot 🥹i think youll also love "for joe". And i believe this was filmed somewhere in canada but cant remember the name of it. 💜💜

[@davepykett4427]

Respect my brother.. I can't say anything else.. love brother ❤

[@MaureenKarnow]

One of the byproducts of diving into Ren is finding yourself in the process… I’m sorry to hear of the loses you’ve endured, especially your mom. I have a feeling that she would be very proud of the man you’ve become.

[@PradaWest]

@@MaureenKarnow thank you so much for the kind word and encouragement. Appreciate you my friend.

[@AdalineK]

This sounds like a movie score! The man is a genius ❤

[@cradlegrl]

This his one of his best masterpieces. It tells the story without lyrics!

[@mcguigance]

He says he had no words for McKay he couldn't actually put lyrics to it ..but this doesn't need lyrics..you feel it.

[@PradaWest]

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@mariemyousyousv1661]

Wonderful song ❤

[@heartwork8318]

This always gets to me! It is beautiful! You are so authentic! Keep doing what you do! ✌🏻🫶🏻

[@drewlester4313]

Prada that into to your music was FIRE!!! Great reaction as always.

[@mstewart109]

The scenery is amazing. This piece is also. Makes me choke up knowing the story. 😢❤

[@Irmelinis]

This piano piece is amazing. The melody is so touching 😥😥❤❤ hugs to you, Prada. Your reactions are PHENOMENAL (love hearing you say that word lol 🤩)

[@johnarmstrong759]

Great reaction...the Piano you've seen was the intro to Money Game Pt3 when he played with the sack over his head...the guy's incredible 👌

[@PradaWest]

Agreed very talented

[@Cindy_Love_2025]

I really love that song about your mom🫶🏼😇🥹 Sweet hat🔥 Wow… amazing skills🔥🎹 He plays beautifully ❤️ People deal with pain…the loss of a loved one differently…. Often times, words can’t express what the heart feels… The pain; numbness; overwhelming… There will be times where many will feel like they’re alone… some might not understand what you’re going through…. GOD DOES! You’re never alone…God cares & loves everything about you! He will help you through whatever you’re going through! God Is Love💯❤️

[@mstewart109]

Gabriel Henrique “and I am telling you” is amazing. This guy can sing!!!

[@StephanieJohnson-nk7ov]

That was so beautiful loved it.💗💗💗💗there are so many classical pieces I miss playing thanks for sharing that.

[@crackednut78]

Love your honesty, never be afraid to share your story and emotions. We are all human.👍🇺🇸🌵

[@stevecrisell108]

Quality.

[@phillippyles3613]

One of those hidden gems. When you know you know

[@AnitaTsenova]

He is self taught on piano also😅

[@PradaWest]

Brilliant

[@christina_ellis]

🖤

[@PradaWest]

💜🙏🏼

[@saragates2255]

I'm really enjoying how much you relate to Ren's music! Thank you for your vulnerability, Prada... And hugs and condolences for your losses ❤️‍🩹 P.S. LOVED the intro 🫶🥰

[@jjkehrley]

Dude, I was 29 when I lost my mom. She had an undiagnosed brain aneurism. I'm here for you bro, and I'm sure all the Renegades are here for you too.

[@tharealrezzmares]

This was a good night THANKX

[@payntpot7623]

This always reminds me of a movie score. From what I understand, Callum and Ren shared birthday parties for some years. After Joe died and Ren left Wales, Callum got into difficulty in the ocean as did a friend who tried to save him. An interesting note is that Prince William was the pilot of the rescue helicopter which looked for them both for many hours. Have you seen *For Joe? The song Ren wrote to honour Joe? It is also on the keyboard. I understand that crossing the hand on the piano means you can carry on with the main keys and just add the odd highlight with the other hand. More practical than it looks. Your song is really lovely. Very poignant What is the main tune from? I know it is triggering memories of a very familiar song, but cannot for the life of me place who played and sang it?

[@CynthiaSwain-bt4gc]

My favorite song ❤️

[@elisabethstermo9396]

I was 29 when I lost my father. I can relate. 🙏🇳🇴

[@kellyt5341]

Mr multi-talented at it again...😊

[@ChillsHills72]

This was shot in Canada while he was under going treatment for Lyme disease, he also played piano at the beginning of Money Game 3.

[@isabell.369]

Lovely reaction, fun to watch you watch Ren. If you haven’t check out Penitence and Fire.🔥

[@Christinelacroix_mammabubs]

This song is amazing

[@zoelefevre3974]

I think he plays piano in Money Game 3, Murderer (Live), For Joe. Glad you played this song

[@welle5086]

❤

[@DeadlyVvenom]

Self taught also it kinda gets frustrating sometimes how much talent he has but at the same time if anyone deserves that much talent its him❤

[@Stiffspeed]

Even the very best artists out there need to step up there game to even come anywhere close to Ren. Somehow, I can't see that happening anytime soon.

[@belindamelville2270]

Ren❤❤❤😢

[@majbrat]

❤❤❤ RIP Mackay - it was an accidental drowning. So sorry for your loss dude. Hugs Suggestion: Nightwish. Most start with "Ghost Love Score" live from Wacken 2013

[@JoeYo77]

Joe jumping off a bridge plummeting to his death is the only thing that kept the rim from taking his own life because he couldn’t put his mother through what Joe mother went through, so after he saw the devastation it did to her he decided at that point in time he was going to let his disease take his life, but found some solace in the fact that he was sure it would happen in the next several years. Six months after Joe’s death, he finds out that his other best friend accidentally guilty that he had a writer block and couldn’t come up with a song as a tribute for him until the day many years later when he sat down, and this poured out of him. He said anxiety was basically instantly alleviated. So losing your two best friends to the water when you’re sicker than both of them combined. she’s literally been to hell and back and a lot of that is why he is his religion so many times.

[@Christinelacroix_mammabubs]

When musically inclined you have a nack for all kinds of music avenues

[@LaShayHaynes-t8f]

Prada that was Renegade impressive think i maybe have to go down the Prada west catalog. Great job - his friend also has new music check out Viktus. Oh that is another piano piece this one is for Callum. check out the one for joe it is called "For Joe". they both died only a few months apart.

[@cherylwitter5038]

🔥❤️✌️

[@laurajaramillo910]

I love your Ren reactions. You should check out Pentatonix, then Pentaholics will flood your channel! Start with Sound of Silence and Daft Punk and then I think you’d like their Can’t Hold Us Macklemore cover and then their originals Love Again and Coffee in Bed. They have a HUGE Christmas catalogue, so now’s a great time to discover them.

[@ryanjackson645]

that oening joint sounds as if it was true banger to ears be blessed on journey

[@ryanjackson645]

piano adds magical touch thats for sure

[@ryanjackson645]

the whole closeing notes sent chills down whole body

[@KarenJones-ce2no]

I love this. It's a tribute to his friend Callum who drowned, I live on the coast and can hear all the different moods of the sea, so appropriate ❤️

[@tomaszbielak]

NOW you know Ren... (a bit!)

[@PradaWest]

Haha yes a tad

[@aaronb4493]

👌🏻

[@dmasters1970]

Ren could play his foot if his toe's had hole's in them 😂😂😂. Great reaction bro ❤from D in the UK 🇬🇧 ❤

[@feathersz1952]

As someone who has been through my best friend getting hit with schizophrenia, and he “ooofed” himself. Ren literally said he couldn’t write his feelings, so he had to be “in” the feeling with a piano in front of him.

[@phillippyles3613]

Got too do for Joe🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@Jadedxx]

AMAZING SONG! BUT HERE TO RECOMMEND YOU CHECK OUT PAW PAW BRODNAX AND JAMWAYNE PROBLEMS 🖤🔥🤘

[@suesee4855]

If you read what he wrote about this song, you can hear the story. Much love ❤️ Sue

[@Mikey-DiLo]

Miss your Queen reactions. Here are a couple you haven’t done yet….Rock It (Prime Jive). Do the lyric video. You’re gonna love it. A Kind of Magic live at Wembley.

[@PradaWest]

@@Mikey-DiLo it’s not the end of queen for me. I’ll still do lots of reactions to queen and whatever else I’ve just been going hard with the renegades.

[@Mikey-DiLo]

@ sounds good! You’re one of my faves!

[@PradaWest]

@ cheers bro I appreciate you. I’ll definitely do more queen reactions.

[@Mikey-DiLo]

@@PradaWest lol I’m not a bro but cheers to you too! My name throws everybody off haha!

[@PradaWest]

@ haha my bad appreciate you either way my friend

[@ryanjackson645]

[@tharealrezzmares]

Please react to "CIVILIZATION EPIC RAP | Dan Bull".

[@KimmyPayton]

Money ties REN cheak it ❤❤

[@ceg2235]

You must react to "For Joe". Warning, bring the kleenex!

[@darkmatter6714]

Is you want to see him play an instrument no one‘a seen before try Swan Swong with The Big Push

[@sharis9095]

I'm always fascinated by people who can create (especially if untrained) because that has to be something you are born with. I'm a copyist. I can copy, but the ability to make something out of nothing is just not there.

[@tetsumcneil1545]

He destroys the base Guitar among other things

[@whiskers1776]

Watch chinchilla cut you off a great song

[@dottedlinewent]

I second this! I also would love to see a reaction to her song “1:5”

[@darkmatter6714]

And then they try to compare him to Eminem 😂

[@lisamarie79]

🫶🏻🎶🥺 Thanks for sharing your experience.
