Ren: The Unfiltered Interview

[@KnoxHill]

That's for watching!! If anyone wants to see the latest video I did with Sam that we talked about it's here - song is called "Best Of Myself" and means a lot to me 🙏 kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2WxnGR4hqaUetksi=oZefF0XnVgFOwbWb

We had a great chat about societal problems and about "coming together" here. React to Ren's "Eden". It really feeds into that. Very curious what you think about it.

A few weeks ago I walked through the centre of my city which has some 50k citizens and for the first time heard somebody blast Rens music from his open car window. Crazy to see how a passion can spread so far that it can catch up with one irl, so happy for Ren and his success

I live in a city of nearly 200,000 people and I haven’t spoke to most of them, but the people I have spoke to, my friends have never heard of Ren.. I would say only about 2 or 3 people out of my social circle actually HAVE heard of him! It’s fair to say that they are all missing out on this man’s ability!

[@jrmfsu]

I've never met Ren, but I love the guy. I've never rooted harder for an artist in my life. He deserves to live a long healthy life. If there is a god, he'd keep him alive for 100 years so he could continue to inspire those of us battling demons like he already has. He's truly inspirational, and an absolute genius of an artist.

[@natalieelardo3920]

So, let me tell you a little story. A few years ago I came across this kid, (I'm 54 now, so this was a kid to me), I loved his music. I told my then 12 yr old daughter about him. Well, I'm mom so she shrugged me off. Fast forward a couple years and this kid had a new song. I wasn't shocked, but I was surprised how powerful it hit. This little song was "Hi Ren". I sat my daughter down, had her watch it. All of a sudden I knew what I was talking about, I was almost cool. I sent the link to nieces and nephew. They then sent it on to their friends, and so on. So, thank you Ren for making this old lady almost cool for a moment in my daughters mind. Just know I'm holding the KCMO area down for you, and for you too Knox! Love you both!

[@loneranger7535]

such a sweet story

[@sunshynff]

Hey, I'm holding down the other part Missouri just outside of the Lou, and watch that "old" talk, I'm 54 years young 😋. I also need you to have your daughter contact my daughter, and son, ASAP and inform them of Ren's awesomeness, apparently Ren's music hasn't hit their friends circle yet, and they won't give it a chance cause it's "dad's music"..lol. I can't wait til it does though and they have to admit they love it. Is it wrong that I will take pleasure seeing them have to eat their words?? 😂😂

[@natalieelardo3920]

I am a young 52 year old woman who discovered Ren's music last week - Ren is a miracle for me...I have been battling mental health and demons for 5 years watching my young body suddenly develop aging symptoms due to Menopause....I'm not ready to lie down and grow old...I'm just getting started but the fatigue and pain would take over and I gave up but recently on seeing myself in the mirror and not recognising myself I cried out to God in anger...I begged for strength and motivation and then last week I discovered Ren and his music is an absolute gift to the world. More so for anyone that has dealt with poor health and mental health... I no longer feel alone - I love this beautiful soul for giving his all, his heart and soul into helping others even at the cost of his own personal space ❤ I am so grateful ❤

For menopause try chaste tree berry aka Vitex for hormone balance, primrose oil for hot flashes, black cohosh is one of the most common menopause herbs. Also nutrition and mineral balance, B vitamins (natural is beat like methyl b12, methyl folate), magnesium glycinate (if it causes constipation it's due to the glycine.. I take magnesium malate since I get backed up easily).

Ren deserves all the success he’s getting. I’m looking forward to hearing his 25,000 word story.

[@NickP333]

Ren has an absolutely brilliant mind. He’s so on point and incredibly aware. Ren is just plain on another level. I was extremely fortunate to have played music professionally, which allowed me to see the world, but music / an artist hasn’t moved me for probably 10 years. Ren completely changed that. I was starting to think I’d devolved into a jaded human flatline, but this music and message has given me something back I’d thought I’d sadly lost. 🎶💜

[@sejbomb]

So nice to see a genuine friendship and respect on both sides for their talents 😊

[@susanwearn2617]

My husband was going through a really bad time because he has ptsd due to being in the military. I showed him the end of hi ren so he could see there are others who know how hard life can be and it helped. So i have to thank a young man for helping a 66 year old feel much better to the fact hes still here. I think people are more tribal .seems we're going back to the times when we had tribes and clans .but if people just chill we would all be happier. We should all realise we are all 1 race .the human race. Just my oppinion. Just love and respect that's all people need.❤

[@guppie19833]

As a guy in a wheelchair battling health for most of my life, I can’t agree more when he said we need to laugh more about things. Humor relitavizes things and put things in perspective like anything else. My situation doesn’t get any better ever, so I might just laugh and joke about it rather than sitting in the corner crying and being mad at things can’t change. Deal with it, and make the most of it.

Ive written 14 pages of my comic book script so far, which doesnt seem much over the past few months, but its huge compared to years and years with the idea floating around in my head.

[@angelb-oo7ob]

Hi…I don’t see that it will eliminate a chance to see him. He’s said touring will be difficult as he’s always going to be in some form of recovery. For now he needs to be close to his Drs in Calgary so basing himself in America makes sense, and whilst there he has an opportunity to network with the people he needs/wants to for creative reasons plus I think him and Sam discussed wanting to do a Netflix series. He’s too loyal to his fan base and who knows who’ll get to see him first but for me he’s just a guy catching up on all the things he’s missed out on, gap years travel 😊 time for just him and America is big enough to allow him to have his cloak of invisibility….for now.

Ren is not only schooled on all different genres of music, he is educated about geopolitics. This guy is intelligent and he's put in the work. He's one of the few recognizable people out there who I recommend people stop and take a minute or two to really listen to what he has to say. Ren knows his history. Much can be learned from Ren and people like him. They are few and far between but I feel a shift occurring. I feel a good shift in people yet I also feel an evil shift amongst the controllers. It's a race now. The only question is who will make it to the finish line first: Good or evil. Props to you Ren.

What a great interview. Knox is really natural and giving Ren space to share. Really enjoying this

[@teraferguson6660]

Ren mentioned the reincarnated Ren and the old Ren and to some it might not make sense but I resinate with him as I was dealing with my mom with Alzheimer’s and read a poem called My Two Moms in which it talked about the mom that she grew up with the living and caring mom and now her new mom who doesn’t even know her name or remember who she is. That concept hit home and when I went to visit my mom as my new mom I was more joyful to visit my mom and get to know my new mom and still cherish my old mom. Once I separated the two my emotional roller coaster smoothed out and I was ready to spend her final days with a smile, comfort and support instead of tears and anger as to why this happened to my mom at such a young age. Now I can say I Love both of my moms!

[@serendipitish]

I feel this so deeply. ❤

[@nickparsons337]

This comment hit me hard. I lost my mom to Alzheimer's on the eighth of January (the day before my birthday) this year. I took care of her for almost an entire decade. She had an aid during the day; but at night it was me caring for her. I watched the decline from the very beginning; which was actually the hardest part. (When she thought that she could still do things that she actually couldn't anymore.) It's the hardest thing I've ever done in my entire life and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. My mom was a great mom. Only people like us know what it's like to miss someone who's right in front of you. I'm glad you managed to have a brighter outlook about it than me

[@TrishiDowns]

Hi from Saskatchewan Canada. I just found your music and I want to tell you I’ve really connected with it in a few different ways. I was just diagnosed with autoimmune after about 12 yrs of doctors telling me it was all in my head and feeling like I was going crazy. The other reasons are regarding my children my daughter is 16 yrs old and has always had complex medical issues but this last year everything has progressed and get really bad and nobody knows why. This time last year she was running around and riding a bike and now she’s in a wheelchair most of the time and is only awake for 4 hours in a 24 hour period. On her 16th birthday (July 2023) she could only manage to sleep and was heart broken. Also my two boys have struggled with mental health issues and I’ve had 2 sisters who have committed suicide. To me your music touches on so many of the battles my kids and I experience in our brains and our emotions, with our bodies, regarding medications and the pros and cons, doctors, the trauma, trying to explain it to others, fighting desperately to remain hopeful . Thank you for putting into words what I’ve been experiencing for many many years with my health and with watching my children go through the same. To be honest I’ve really been struggling this last couple of months and your music has reminded me that I’m not a quitter

[@bethellen1962]

[@optimistinmyprime]

I'm at a loss for words at what you must be going through personally and with your children. I see you. Hugs from Ontario. ❤

[@TrishiDowns]

@@optimistinmyprime thank you- the hardest thing any parent can experience is watching their child deteriorate and be in pain and not being able to do anything and so far none of the doctors can figure out why it’s happening. The cherry on the sundae is my daughter is going through so much physically, emotionally, and medically and understandably is struggling with her mental health saying her life sucks because she’s always in pain and or sleeping and my son is struggling mentally with having to watch his sister go through all of this and he’s stressed so bad his auditory hallucinations are returning and the doctors are refusing both of them mental health help. Both of them begging for therapy/counselling. They’ll put them on pills but won’t offer counselling or any other kind of talk therapy because they are autistic and delayed. The doctor straight out said she refuses to refer them because she doesn’t think they are capable and it would be a waste of time. I’ve been mentally, emotionally, and physically overwhelmed and heartbroken and felt like I was sinking. One night while I was up all night watching my daughters seizures, tremors, heart rate, and breathing I discovered Ren and watched Hi Ren, Sick Boi, and Chalk Outlines over and over all night long bawling because those three songs resonated so much I felt it in my soul. That night renewed my strength and stubbornness and I became a Ren fan

The energy and outlook of Ren… I’d actually call it forward thinking is just wow… And let me say this about Knox Hill. For one his interviewing skills are just WoW. Also he single handily made me listen to music differently.. listen is the wrong word… I HEAR all music and appreciate music all music differently now!

[@GGRemington-hf6gf]

The illest of our time. Got me back into music. Respect for both Ren and Knox.

[@brandyborder-rodriguez9254]

I can listen to.ren tAlk endlessly , he is so articulate, thoughtful, funny,introspective, and the accent & cadence lull me to a happy place! Lol. Not that U knox are not as captivating, because I can listen to you breaking down bars & beefs and being a goofy smarta$$ or should I say "cheeky bugger"?! lol. Love you both 2 bits& pieces guyz.😘

[@yvonnewyke6897]

Oh Ren we will never disown you ❤❤❤❤

[@sylv772]

Hadn't expected this and pleased to have stumbled across it. Listening to two interesting people talking to one another makes a good way to start the day.

[@davelafferty4382]

You can almost watch his mind working when he talks. Brilliant mind. Keep doing what you are doing. Both of you.

[@lisarussell2914]

Being sick, physically and psychologically for half your life is something very few people understand. I do. I am 38 and have been sick since I was a young teen, so over 20 years of talk therapy, cbt,dbt, electroconvulsive therapy twice. I connect with your journey. Stay strong hot stuff ❤

[@yolandescheepers7262]

😂😂 actual books for the book club..😂😂 loved the interview.❤

[@sicmuvva11]

I’m 65yrs old and I have life-long friends and even though we can have opposing opinions or beliefs, the common denominator is we can all agree to disagree. just respect others opinions simple.

Same I'm almost 36 I had a stroke at 33 though and my entire life and body has changed drastically n not for the best I feel so much older than I actually am even before my health issues I have been depressed my entire life pretty much and then just adding stroke & violent seizures in me as well it's just too much but Ren is a voice for us suffering in silence 🙏 he truly is I can't wait for everyone to know and love him and his beautiful art❗he's a genius Long Live Ren 💪

[@muttonjeff105]

It must be great to be able to just park one thing and go back to it after something else exciting was happening. No signed artist would be able to do this without massive pressure from the industry. So glad Ren has stayed independent and is doing well enough from his music financially to not have to lose his soul to the vile, manipulative music industry. It's joyous to watch this, honesty and integrity with no f@cks given and no one censoring the conversation.

[@AlexMH1991]

LOVED the interview, it really felt like watching two mates having a chat. The mutual respect and understanding and the good relations between you is lovely to see and really enjoyable. You both are fucking great!

[@davidpearson6785]

Ren and Knox, two multi talented, intelligent interesting brilliant human beings. Equally proud of both of them , long may their deserved success continue 🙏🙏🙏

[@prettypinkpuck]

This man is absolutely exceptional. In every way, I am at a loss for words by how awed I am by him. His talent is hard to comprehend, but it’s so inspirational to keep learning more about him. He’s an even better human than artist, and if you sit with that, it’s just exceptional. It’s impossible to not love this man. Ren is an absolute gift to humanity, music, artistry and the pinnacle of perseverance. Ugh. My words don’t seem big enough.

Such a great interview. It's so great to be able to learn more about Ren from these chats. And they didn't even know what's coming with Kujo Beat Down 😅

[@COUNTYGAINS]

Ren is my favourite Welsh person! Great interview

[@rebeccaburnell9319]

"This Ren doesn't belong to the old Ren; he's a reincarnation" ... jfc, I was just describing this about myself to my therapist like 3hrs ago. It's essential to how I'm able to process my cPTSD and move forward.

[@rickgiles3633]

Knox and Ren talking together is so awesome.

[@ClearTheRubble7]

If I'm ever feel down, self-pitying, self-doubting, etc., etc., there's nothing like a dose of Ren music or Knox-and-Ren interview to knock me upside the head and make me come to my senses. 🦁

[@jhayley72]

Thank you Ren and Knox. Love your friendship ❤

[@jenniferfoster1692]

Smart move for Ren to relocate to the US. Once he hits in the US his career is going to explode even more. And close to the Dr in Calgary is great.

[@caupain66]

F the top my blood the people who found your music respect it! Ren bro put that same drive into your health! You’re loved respected and people who do will respect you for it! And if you fall off for a second soo freaking what! Your music and message will carry you right back to the top! I got bats in my belly when you said you’re coming to America! ❤ all of us here

[@Vikkigamesbadly]

i cant think of anyone who deserves success more than you and ren

[@yolandekruger7048]

Ren your are wise beyond your years! I have the greatest respect for you ❤❤❤❤❤

[@yaboyreege7158]

Ren is the best man I had only recently found him but I was instantly hooked. The sheer talent, the musicianship, his flow and even his singing voice is all top tier. His guitar playing is some of the best I’ve heard and then what he does on top of that is just wild. He truly understands mental health issues and it makes you feel like you’re not alone at least that’s how I interpret it and it really helps. When I get depressed or get cravings I usually go to rens music and it truly helps more than most things

[@DavidLindes]

Funny to come back now[0] and see this interview, and find 46:52 [edit: and 57:13]. 😂 [0] after Kujo Beat Down.

[@robertarce5377]

I feel for Ren I struggled with mental health illness and there’s days where you have to take time off days to do the inner healing and as frustrating as that can be cause I am constantly on the go i have to listen to my body if not I end up crashing!

“I don’t know if there are any Shoulds in Art.”

[@bethellen1962]

Right?

[@wogge]

It should be artistic? 😂😂😂
