Cliff! Watching ur live the other day got me thinking, wanted to help u out in whatever small way I could! I spoke to my distributor, I'm basically gona get ur channel whitelisted off any automatic claims, I didn't realise you could do that, so basically any time you react to any of my content from now you'll be able to fully monetise, in the meantime if you appeal any of the automated claims my distribution guys been told to approve ur dispute x just figured id show some love back in light of ur situation

[@CliffBeatsOfficial]

Man thank you so much. That truly means a lot. Yeah they hit me for some of your lyrics in “Jenny and Screech (Trilogy)”. Obviously a very deep and traumatic song/ storytelling but I don’t want you being punished through us. Their new system is picking up cursing from artists and limiting our videos which in turn limits the reach you could have through out the platform. For example “ You F***ng C**t”, was flagged for all of us. I don’t even mind doing it for free because I want to see everyone succeed. But you shouldn’t be getting limited reach due to this. You definitely have “it” man and a heart of gold for helping me while I’m down. I will not forget this boss. 🙏 ❤️

[@DonnaPoynton.]

Ren you are Amazing xx ❤

[@lillyvanpug]

Paying it forward and taking care of each other is exactly what we have too little of in this world. Keep the positivity going. It spreads so fast 🖤🖤🖤

[@zacharyricords8964]

Ren, youre amazing! Keep it up!

[@Proud.American58]

You go @renmakesmusic !!!

[@Sambenzine]

Fun fact: to hype the release of Screech's tale Ren did a bunch of instagram stories with some more details that weren't in the song. Screech's best friend Patrick wasn't home to open the door because he was with Screech's girlfriend at the time.

[@pierssegal5910]

That's really interesting. He also did a poem as part of his live performance of the whole ballad.

[@vivienneclarke2421]

WHAT??? Woahhhh

[@sixjhontongalamar979]

Didn't he also pretended that his phone was stolen by Schreech? Even his friends didn't knew about it for a while.

[@yassinemiri3555]

Screech became his father and Jenny became her mother. History repeats.

[@llchristensen77]

I just caught this also.... Screech killed his sister like his father killed his mother. 🤯 So many unspoken meanings. I love this kid!

[@nadiariggs5110]

The most devastating part😭😭

[@jynxbmd851]

Nothing makes me happier than seeing Ren's growth and so many reactors checking out multiple videos of his lately, dude truly deserves to win!

[@CliffBeatsOfficial]

He’s going to 😊

[@jynxbmd851]

@@CliffBeatsOfficial For real, and when he does he will have earnt every bit of it. That's more than just talent, that's truly gifted

[@jonneateh5815]

I agree first time I heard him was busking singing blind eyes. Had to listen to rest of his songs after that.

[@wanrell]

The recordings are always live, if there are loud noises or such he'll mix in a prerecorded bit to fix it. Ren's the king of doing raw performances in single takes.

[@bookerwills8649]

One take, ren is really special

[@warlord_n_warheads7198]

At 15:20 when rens sings "and her father" was a bastard he looks up into the corner and pronunces louder and changes the sound of the hall way he like tweaked the echo by projecting his voice into the corner ABSOLUTE MADNESS

[@RavenNationIII]

This fucking guy is so God damn talented. I'm speechless. How do you even write something like this or hi Ren. Absolutely insane. His guitar playing, his acting, his singing, his spoken word, his pen, his rapping, his directing. FUCKING GENIUS. How he only has 500k is nuts. He's about to blow up! And i sore KZbin not Cliff!

[@thetalantonx]

Ren is a Welsh busker who performs on the streets of Brighton, and when he was in The Big Push, many of their videos are recorded straight from live street performances. He is used to doing everything live in one take. If he ever does a video that has a take other than the first, he'll label it "Retake."

[@porthmeor1]

They are truly great performances but also reflect Rens skill at mixing back on to the video. Instruments and vocal are recorded on zoom mics before perfectly processing/balancing. It really sets them apart - super sound live street performances..the man is (and TBP) class.

[@vmo4136]

After hearing Violet's tale, the fact that Jenny also froze and stayed silent becomes a lot more haunting.

[@stephentrevis2514]

And screech was angry like his grandad and father. Even going as far to getting angry when Jenny would say anything like his dad did to Violet

[@DavidWozEre]

I've watched Ren for years, and I've watched you since your first HMack reaction. I'm so glad you've started reacting to him, you're one of my favourite reactors. To see Ren finally getting recognition from so many reactors lately is amazing, he deserves it 100%

[@sandratjoa9082]

Brilliant storyteller and musician. He's like the male version of Aurora. Both are genius, I think. I'd be interested in what you think of Ren - "money game " and "money game 2". Have a good day, Cliff.

[@donmac8907]

I am speechless, this guy is so original and multi talented , it’s a crime he isn’t p there with the so called greats ! , the ones that sing any old crap , get tons of radio play and awards , are treated like royalty , the ironic thing is , they are talent less, social media clones put them where they are , REN what more can I say , the world and the industry is such a shitty place , because talent like yours scares normal people , but the ones that do get it , get it !! ,

[@CliffBeatsOfficial]

Give it time. It will come.

[@Gaming_Sparky58]

His story is inspiring. I'd suggest watching the vlog he uploaded of him back in 2016 devastating but inspiring knowing where he is now. Sometimes it takes being at the bottom to see a path to the top.

[@BenSmith-gz4qo]

Your the only reactor who offers help and someone to speak to or lean on trust that's it's appreciated 🙏

[@Dlydford]

Never seen or heard of Ren - my god, this is amazing! Kids a true talent, so captivating, engaging and unique - absolutely amazing. Whatever this type of performance art is - I NEED MORE!!!

[@pierssegal5910]

In case it's not crossed your path yet, go check out "Hi Ren", it's (for the next couple of days) his latest track, it's in the same sort of style and is the reason he's finally blowing up everywhere.

[@Tessimistic420]

Ren -Heretic🔥🔥❤️🔥🔥

[@AbandonedLandscapes]

I’m loving seeing everyone discover Ren and there reactions to his talents

[@0CentralMedia0]

You should check out Ren - Dear god

[@tbwkn]

If you want to hear some of his rappity rap check out Genesis, the hunger, power, right here right now. Awesome reaction

[@Wickit96]

Man, when I tell you my jaw dropped in time stopped when the punchline connected, pure talent.

[@nicholasestes4028]

Genesis next let’s go!!

[@rfz_wild308]

This is some immortal technique dance with the devil type shit, he brought tears to my eyes bruh

[@nicolettegeiger3678]

no words exist to explain how Ren makes me feel listening to him, only heard a few in the last couple days and between this, Suic*de and Hi Ren I am so blown away. I never thought I’d find such great story telling outside of country music but it’s in all genres, well, I’m not sure Ren can be placed in any genre except his own

[@bigsmoke4385]

Now that you checked out the trilogy I recommend you look at both "Money Game" and "Money Game part 2" as they're, in my opinion, absolute bangers and talk about some of the world's problems really well.

[@cosmicdebris5260]

Ren honed many of his skills of emoting and performing on the streets as a busker! Live is his thing! Modern-day bard!

[@firstbornunicorn1545]

Yes its all live and also note each tale is done all in one take. Money game pts 1 and 2 next. Honestly, pick anything. Don't forget to check out his band the Big Push. The versatility of Ren will not go unnoticed.

[@sirweebs2914]

now theres someone who knows his crap. I could always go for Money game 1&2.

[@selenadepriest697]

I started listening to Ren 3days after he released violets tale. The first song I ever heard was Jenny's tale (released 3 years ago). I had the privilege of hearing the whole trilogy in one day. Everyone else had to hear jenny, wait a year, then screech, wait another year, then finally Violets tale. He put his time into this trilogy and it shows! It can be analyzed and further broken down if you feel the desire to do so. Jenny took on Violets submissive nature where as James (screech) had Stevie's volatile abusive traits. Fascinating! Keep going Cliff. Ren has been at this for many years and he has his own personal tragic tale. He was signed by Sony records at a young age but they dropped him from their label when he became deathly ill. Bet they're regretting that decision now eh? He struggles to this day with auto immune disease (it's mentioned often in his lyrics). Anyway, yeah, he's got a vast catalogue of really insightful tunes and they can get pretty dark (as I'm sure you've already observed). In the interest of keeping you from burning out on the darker material, I'd like to introduce you to the lighter side of Ren. Check out his Collab work w/ his long time best friend Sam Thompkins on the original song co-written by the two entitled "Blind Eyed". In my opinion it's the best song to show case his vocal abilities, his rap flow, and his effortless ability to Collab. Also you have the benefit of being introduced to Sam, with whom he collabs often, who has in his own right a vocal talent to rival even Ren. Keep going Cliff there's plenty to see. And when you're ready for new AMAZING talent please move on to check out Devin Townsend. I'd consider it a personal favor. I survived my own version of violets tale because Devins music was powerful and relentlessly positive enough to make me realize that I didn't want to die. Music absolutely saves lives. Don't ever think otherwise. Keep writing, and keep reacting my friend. You may never know the impact you have on others just by doing what comes naturally to you. I'm alive today because Devin wrote a song, and someone reacted to it. And I'm not alone. I've heard similar stories in comment threads over and over.

[@chrisslater3870]

Blind eyed is still my all time favourite video I've ever found on KZbin. It's phenomenal

[@selenadepriest697]

@@chrisslater3870 have you seen the live w angry car park attendant version?

[@G3NK5T42]

I found him a few days ago to, watching his HI REN and then SICK BOI video. Then yesterday I got a chance to watch the full Tale of Jenny, Screech, and Violet and it just blew me away. It's so much more impacting when you watch the trilogy in full as opposed over a 3 year period.

[@cosmicdebris5260]

I've been blessed to listen to Ren for the last 7 years or so! He's a true hero to all who are fighting to fill their potential!🌿💔 he is the One take King! Greatest modern storyteller!

[@brandonprice6448]

Tale of screech begins with “Our story it starts right at the end”, referring to someone dying, being Jenny. Then the song ends with “Our story it ends right at the start”, again referring to someone dying just as it was at the start of the song, this time being screech. Just great writing!

[@BenSmith-gz4qo]

Now this is story telling in music form🔥This should be on Tarantino's next film getting those vibes 💯

[@MrBurnout22]

What a freakin ending, what a plot twist, what a crescendo, this is soooooo damn cool! This music or work of art is made for reaction channels if you think about it cause yes I have seen this before but for me its almost more exciting watching people that dont know what coming next and then to see the actual shock on your faces just the same as I did.. Its like reliving it for the first time agian but with an extra element of excitement on top! It such great story telling I can perfectly visualize everything word Ren says! And with an accent that is not easy to do! It reminds me a bit of like medieval times like the Jester singing tales of old in the courtyard! Doesnt it? lol Maybe its just me

[@markphipps9463]

Don't know if anyone has mentioned yet that he was recently in a band called the big push check out their song wade in the water-trouble so hard

[@vickireynolds3195]

If you want to hear him rap rap then listen to his song called “the hunger” … love your reactions by the way 👍

[@MaidenThailand]

Oh, could you do Hunger by Ren, too? It's more your style and also super fun!

[@junction6_m27VNC]

The great thing I really like about Ren is that you can hear and understand every word he says, even when he’s full of emotion the clarity of his words is amazing, a true artist

[@scottlaurenson3390]

Just found Ren a month ago ❤️ Your going to love his back catalogue dominos gets my vote or money game 1 and 2 enjoy ✌️❤️ new sub from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Great reaction Cliff! Please listen to money game pt1 & pt2 and also blind eyed, my favourite songs from Ren. 💚

[@con-jp]

Gotta hear your reaction to blind eyed by ren and Sam Tompkins. Live version busking on the streets is what first got me hooked on ren

[@Audiostyleable]

great version but i love the M.C sessions best of both worlds (rawness of live but polish of the studio)

[@con-jp]

@@Audiostyleable honourable mention to the version feat. Angry car park attendant😂

[@bookerwills8649]

Ren is by far my favourite artist on earth right now please keep reacting, he has an album finished ready to come out in a month. Money game is a good react both part 1 and 2, he also has some pretty good rap songs

[@Pikez98]

The tech to record is in his pocket, honestly would'nt be surprised if its just a small usb c mixer plugged to his phone, tech is crazy nowadays. You can literally record live wherever you want in high quality, sadly a lot of musicians just don't do that.

[@chrisrisher6045]

He’s a modern day minstrel for the masses.

[@G3NK5T42]

This was the most amazing storytelling I've ever heard in music form. I came across Ren just a few days ago for the first, watching his HI REN video. I'm so glad I did because I've never seen such an amazing talented Singer, Rapper, Guitarist, Musician, Writer, Poet, Storyteller, Actor, and an overall Artist! It's insane how all the recognition and awards go to shit like Cardi-B's WAP, while a REAL ARTIST like REN has less views than The Island Boys clowns. It's truly a shame!!!

[@Tessimistic420]

#Ren 🔥🔥❤️🔥🔥 Here for you and Ren always ❤️

[@natalinahuot884]

when i discovered ren, violets tale was my first. Was instantly taken back, and have been listening to everything by ren every day. great reactions. very genuine, and i can relive hearing them for the first time :')

Ren is the real deal! His talent is off the charts!

[@nicolettegeiger3678]

Pentatonix does a lot of one take videos/songs and never thought I’d find anyone to rival that, then I discovered Ren and he’s just one person doing it all!

[@DyllisDead]

Screech was violent like his dad and Jenny stood still and silent like her mom, the more and more I listen to this trilogy the more things I realize, it’s mind blowing

You are by far the best reactionist I've seen so far. I subbed to you on Hi Ren, then watched some others of your, and now this... I was waiting with baited breath to see the reaction at the end. Nice to see someone else go, "Noooo." That was my reaction as well. I've followed Ren for about a year I think? ...different, but good, check out Hardy, wait in the truck.

I am so happy you are finally listening to REN, i asked you 6 months ago because this man is a story teller with his words.

[@johnnyeproductions]

Cliff his riffs remind me so much of Sublime. The lyrics, "It was a cold dark night in a London street." is a throwback to Warren G in Regulators. "It was a cold dark night in the LBC, on a mission tryin to find Mr Warren G." I love these references, the inspiration he takes from all over, and then his magnificent word play and beautiful guitar skills... He is a musical genius! Also seeing him comment showing love back to all those who have done reactions to... I cannot be more high on this guy than I am now and I only found him a few days ago. I've listened and shared Hi Ren to freaking like EVERYONE I know, even my parents and they're in their 60's lol but still enjoyed it!

[@MaidenThailand]

Each of the Tales have their own videos, and they all have more number of views than the compilation. I believe Violet's Tale is the one that has the most though; that was the one that YT promoted in my recommendations.

[@kirstyoneill6609]

I love his story telling xx you need to react to more REN please xx ❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭 xx

Wow, this REN guy has given a voice to so many people. The world can't help but change. Great reaction!

[@DaRealRenegade]

Great song. Great storytelling. Amazing artist. It's different and fresh that he does his videos in live form. What's great about your channel is I get introduced to new artists/music from rap or different genres that I would've never heard of.
