He was 12 years old when he started busking on the streets he really has put the work in to get where he is now.

[@maximus6622]

​@@TheTaffia could you imagine a 12yr old busking on the streets of Britain, would get beaten up and all your equipment nicked.

Yeah he moved from his country of Wales to Bath when he was 18. Study music at the Bath Spa school.

England has a special affinity for Reggae. A lot of reggae artists were supported in their early careers through the UK. I learnt West Indian folk songs in school and a lot of kids my age blended reggae with the punk vibe creating the ska explosion in the late 70s early 80s . We feel the music deep - as does Ren. One love.

[@Hope...M]

You do know that he's Welsh? Born in Wales. He moved to Bath to study music when he was 18. You're exactly right about the English having an affinity ✅

I'm convinced this video / live performance is destined for music archives, to be preserved for future generations. It deserves awards.

[@sammyd8860]

This medley is soooo good ! I think every single live band could learn something from this.

[@JensRandolff]

Agreed.

[@JDogg1971]

I can’t get over how multi talented Ren is! And you’re right, the entire band was dope. Great reaction, fam!!🤓🤠❤️

We grew up with Reggae and Ska ,Motown, Funk all styles and genre of music in Britain. Before Rap but just as every other genre it has been included.

[@josho8888]

it is dead prez

[@JennyAnton]

I was there that day and I have seen Ren and The Big Push playing live many times. They are always brilliant.

[@blueisback3683]

Now that is the way to spend a Saturday afternoon, on the street watching something like this.

[@Lou-xq9br]

The big Push are awesome! I'm addicted to everything Ren! Esp sweet little lady live acoustic version ❣️🔥

[@JensRandolff]

Another enjoyable reaction. "The Big Push" (Ren Gill, Gorran Kendall, Romain Axisa, and Glen Chambers) busking sessions, concerts, and live recordings all are amazing and well worth checking out. All but the drummer sing lead vocals at times. Their covers of "I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop," "Wade in the Water/Nina Simone/Trouble so Hard," "Watch Out," “War Pigs,” “Roadhouse Blues,” "My Generation," “Paint It Black,” "An Englishman in New York," “Bongo Bong” are awesome. On “These Boots Are Made For Walking,” “Praise You” (Fatboy Slim Cover), “What Kind Of Woman Is This,” all three take a turn singing. The songs "Oh My Woman," “Swan Song,” “Sweet Little Lady," "It's Alright," “Dignity,” and so many others are equally impressive. The band, at least for the time being, performed their last official busking session and gave their last concert in September of last year (2022) due to the fact that Ren was leaving for Canada to undergo specialized medical care and surgeries for his multiple health issues. Ren's performances with Sam Tompkins (“Blind Eyed,” “Earned it /Mans World / Falling,” “Walking on the moon/No Diggity,” “Feeling Good/Trouble So High/Masterblaster (Jammin'),” “Latch,” “What Went Wrong” Part I&II) are definitely a must. Also, his collaborations with Eden Nash (“Humble,” “Ocean”), Bibi (“Crutch,” “Ahiahiaoha”), Molly McKinna (“Penitence”), Orlean ("Jessica"), his former bandmate Romain Axisa (“French Song”), are all great. Last but not least, Ren’s busking sessions with Liv Sangster are awesome. I recently discovered that Ren also recorded a cover of “Can't Help Falling In Love (Elvis Cover),” that is simply beautiful.

[@sketchtherapy1218]

Hi Jens nice to see you again i been a fan of these 2 for a long time glad you like their reactions too.

[@NightFogFilms]

I bet standing in that crowd was far better than a stadium performance. Up close and live! Wish I was there.

[@ianrosie4431]

What a great band and so locked in with each other. It was like watching a hydra flowing and changing in front of your eyes.

[@sparkers70]

We should all be so lucky as to have a concert right in our neighborhood! Ren is amazing. His LIVE stuff is out of this world. 👌

[@amydavies2529]

Can you imagine walking down the streets and hearing something like this? Ren has worked his way to where he is. Shout out to the rest of the band, The Big Push. ❤

[@Mezzijah]

Hip Hop is by Dead Prez a real deep cut rap song. Ren is a generational talent

[@bsmith8943]

Honestly Ren is phenomenal.

[@alandoust551]

He sure is Renomenal

[@johnturner5881]

You got a note of thanks from the The Big Push you should pin it to the top. Always enjoy your reactions and Asia's smile.

[@susiejo143]

Well I'm jealous of the citizens of Brighton

[@bewilderedboy1]

Hip Hop is Dead Prez, a real old skool classic from their album Lets Get Ill. This is one of the best street performances I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a ton of buskers in my time. Don’t know if you’ve checked out Ren’s new drop Illest of Our Time, released on his birthday on Wednesday, it’s 🔥🔥🔥

[@PoliticallyPink]

so funny to this old woman to hear music from the 21st century referred to as "real old skool classic"!

[@ianrobertson7823]

Great to see you guys over the pond respect talent. No gimmicks just guys having fun for the local people. Great Show by the way.

[@gothbaubles]

Peace and love to you both. One of the many layers of Ren. Love the reaction to it. Can you imagine, knowing what you know now about him, his versatility and his music, seeing that live in the streets?!! He still plays with them. Dope. I would pay for that experience.

[@jamesthatswho8687]

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Ren can do ballet, hip hop, contemporary or whatever style of dance he wants to do. I love seeing your reactions to this. Asia, that smile is so beautiful and infectious. Much love and prayers ❤️ 🙏

[@hilarycharman-2924]

I'd love to see him doing ballet 😄

[@Mr.Ekshin]

Well yeah... at this point, looking through various videos of him floating around on KZbin, I've seen him play bass, play the drums, and an assorrtment of acoustic and electric guitars (in a variety of styles). I've seen him do a dozen different styles of music, sing his ass off, and rap at goat levels with a wide variety of flows. And to top it all off... he's a really good actor with an absolutely commanding stage presence.

[@maximus6622]

​@@Mr.Ekshin well said. There's also a video of Ren playing the piano and apparently he can play the cello as well. I wouldn't be surprised if he comes back from Canada a fully qualified doctor lol. Seriously though, he's a musical genius.

[@Mr.Ekshin]

@@maximus6622 - Ahh yes, I DID see a couple clips of him on piano! And I also forgot to mention perhaps his best talents. He's a helluva good writer and storyteller. Most of us wish we had that kind of talent. But if you asked us if we were wiling to spend a decade suffering to achieve it... I guess the answer would be NO.

[@maximus6622]

@@Mr.EkshinTotally agree, from his tough childhood to the present, he definitely has suffered. We forgot he's also a talented producer and beatboxer, probably can do other things that you and I will never know about. I suspect you're also right, that he would give it all up for a healthy life. He certainly deserves all the accolades, admiration and respect he is receiving these days. Long may it continue.

[@francesdoll4039]

One of my favorites. And right after this he covered Black Sabbath's War Dogs! So awesome! Good reaction!❤

[@slayerrocks2]

War Pigs.

I loved reliving that session with you two reacting. Brought me a big smile of pure happiness. On the "Hip Hop" song, it's by Dead Prez. Perhaps one of the greatest hip hop songs for me - the lyrics get me every time. Peace and love

[@testpattern23]

from reggae to ska to rap...I can't believe how talented he is

[@vornamenachname9905]

Big shoutout to my man Romain Axisa on the guitar! He's an incredibly talented guy who also has his own channel on youtube. Give him a listen people.

[@sammyd8860]

The guitarist Romain Axisa does some solo stuff - I really like a couple of his guitar instrumentals &5 Beat to the Minute and Blue. He is dropping a new track on Monday 3 April

[@sammyd8860]

Typo : should have read 75 Beats to the Minute - sorry guys

[@JensRandolff]

Romain responded to one of my comments a few weeks ago and said that he is releasing two new albums this year, one being an instrumental-only album. I can't wait.

[@TheSlash666jl]

Great reaction. Please do the Ren and Sam Tompkins street performances as well they're amazing.

[@iaincphotography6051]

Glad you loved the band is superb and Ren is a magical. Love the reaction guys, champion.

[@elizabethdemerie13]

The song hip hop is from dead prez...however the lyrics he uses 'the thing about music when it hits you feel no pain" is actually a quote from Bob Marley... .so it is fitting

[@leehargreaves7473]

Punk, Reggae & Ska were intertwined in late 70s Britain. There was such a fantastic merging of musical culture then, possibly summed up best in "Two-Tone". If Britain has a musical speciality it's taking influences from many musical sources and reinventing it as something new. I firmly believe that BBC Radio has a big part to play in this. Nobody in the UK had a chance to listen to just one genre. There was no "R&B Station", no "Rock Station" ...etc. You really got to hear everything on BBC Radio, and later TV. Specific music Radio Stations mean you just don't get a breadth of influences.

[@bethscott4330]

Loved your reaction! I can tell you two really appreciate music.

[@ClearTheRubble7]

As part of the same performance, they also did an excellent Black Sabbath medley: "War Pigs," "Paranoid." Ren is my kind of musician: versatile, eclectic, unpredictable, tugs at many emotions.

[@Hope...M]

He's Welsh. He moved from his country of Wales to Bath England when he was 18 to study music at a school. Welsh accent has similarities to Jamaican so it's not a gigantic transition. He was classically taught by a relative before he moved to Bath England for music performance and so on🙏💯 I love this performance. Great reaction ❤

[@Biempje]

Thank you for your great reaction!!

[@AsiaandBJ]

[@robertsaaf1467]

Love your reactions! When he's singing what sounds like "With a little bit of love we can make it through the night" he's actually covering the unnamed song of the Video called "A Little Bit Of Luck" by DJ Luck & MC Neat. From 1999! Which completely took me by surprise!

[@joshuak2810]
