PRO SINGER'S first REACTION to REN - FRED AGAIN MASH UP

[@EarthyBlendPOV]

He’s got a Beastie Boys throwback song called “What You Want”. It’s total 90s sounding.

[@cherylmack1260]

If you think he sounds like Marley you should see him do I shot the Sheriff, Road to Zion and or more meshed together. He is so good that it makes you smile bigly.

[@dannytheswedishmusixian1513]

Nice :-)

[@victoriabrooks7009]

Red braces video is the best for this song tho 👌

[@TheAxeification]

Original artist, Fred Again, does EDM house music. Ren envisioned them differently for this mashup of 5 of Fred Again's works.

[@AgnesPerditaX]

Agreed, totally different animal.

[@RainStartsFalling]

For Marley Ren check out his band The Big Push, specifically his "I shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop" mash up, it's the video with Ren in red suspenders. For his own Songs that are sung: "Chalk outlines- live" "How to be me" "Fire" "Heretic" "Everybody drops"

[@jaymccuin4665]

You have to listen to Fred Again to see the magic Ren created. These songs Fred wrote, touched Ren to the core.

[@frankcanonico1036]

For an original Ren song in the genre you appreciate, Chalk Outlines is probably your best bet.

[@MichaelCRush]

[@yilomina2047]

[@eddie1822]

Then, may I suggest How To Be Me-live version

[@teradrew7555]

You're wrong about his influences. He's a student of hip hop and culture and a wealth of knowledge.

[@KarenLaw-th2pb]

I’d agree … there is so much variety he dabbles in everything. Eminem style is just one, he’s influenced by Dead Prez (he preforms the song Hip Hop itself but to his own style (undeniably brilliant rendition), Beastie Boys style, (What you Want, but not a cove), Nas, Sublime style reggae style (like murderer acoustic), sting ‘ish voice, frank Senatra. His original songs have his own humor, either self deprecating or silly arrogance, personal stories, and shock value moments, it’s not for everyone…

[@dannytheswedishmusixian1513]

What was I wrong about? Him singing like Bob Marley? Him rapping like Eminem? As someone who has been into hip-hop since the 80's it's pretty easy to hear the influence eminem has had on too many rappers unfortunately.

[@teradrew7555]

@dannytheswedishmusixian1513 just be careful not to pigeon hole him before you get the whole picture.

[@dannytheswedishmusixian1513]

I listen to each new song with open ears as you can see if you see me reacting to Kujo disliking it to then Back to 74 and loving it. And on and on it goes.

[@teradrew7555]

@dannytheswedishmusixian1513 kujo beat down was a weird place to start without context. If you think of Ren as a musical theater experience you might engage with it differently. A lot of context is needed for someone like Ren. Otherwise you run the risk of misunderstanding his intentions when he decides to write or rework a song. Everything he does is deliberate and with great thought. He isn't trying to emulate but he does pay homage

[@MartaBogucka]

Ren loves old school rap. He did a NAS retake - his own lyrical twist on "Halftime". Even though you didn't like his rap style previously, you could check this out some time later, maybe after other songs recommended here in the comments (team "Chalk Outlines" here :D )

[@kimella995]

He changed the songs very much different from the originals so he definitely worked hard and put his own REN stamp on it all

[@karen-xv2wu]

Exactly! I think Fred is a Dj and not a singer.

[@meggsy82]

​@karen-xv2wu He's a producer and singer. He does sing on a few of his tracks though he doesn't have the range of Ren.

[@karen-xv2wu]

As you will see Ren has a strong cult fanbase. I appreciate your candor, try them all and there is something for everyone. It’s so diverse that not everything will appeal to everyone.

[@dannytheswedishmusixian1513]

Thanks!

[@sharis9095]

Ren went to a Fred Again concert and he said the lyrics "I've been lost" really hit him. So he took 5 songs and mashed them together to make this homage. His song What You Want may appeal to you.

[@A-fn4pq]

A pro vocal coach said something like: raw vocal being delivered in an authentic way, expressing human feelings. In my opinion this sums up why I resonate so much with Rens music. The goal is not to deliver something perfect and sometimes it is only having fun or flexing.

[@kellyt5341]

💯

[@darkmatter6714]

If you likes 90’s rap, then you must listen to Ren’s retake of the classic Halftime, by Nas.

[@cas9065]

I also think you might like Chalk Outlines and How to be me, but if you want to see his creativity in full flow, then it has to be the Tale of Jenny and Screech. It is dark, but poignant, and it is a 13 minute theatre performance rather than a song. Well, it feels like that. They filmed it on the streets in the middle of the night. And if you want to surprise yourself from a totally different rap perspective, then check out Humble, or Heretic, or even penitence. Beautiful the lot of them.

[@Jadedxx]

Penitence is my FAVE and hardly anyone covers it 😢.

[@Turntablist_Mk2]

Ren does Remix/Retake/Mashups just for the love of the music and for us to enjoy, can't profit or put on other platforms. He has hundreds of original productions but isn't your average playlist artist. Keep going and you will discover the "Ren' you like in his variety, but he keeps pushing new boundaries all the time. "Hi Ren" is an amazing performance you should check out but it's an art piece as opposed to just a song.

[@DonutCockapoo]

For an original song please try “For Joe” a blend of spoken word and singing played on piano live.

[@sonicfear4472]

Fred Again is an EDM artist, so this is Ren's translation of EDM lyrics to a more Pop style mash-up.

[@dannytheswedishmusixian1513]

Gotcha, thanks.

[@SpudNickleson-im7is]

Although this is a mash up of Fred Again, it's a mash up of a bunch of tracks and the composition is so totally different to the originals that it's basically a brand new song. If you want some 90s style rap from Ren you need to check out "What You Want". He's also got other rap style songs like The Hunger, Losing It or Murderer that are different to the style you checked out previously and more technically interesting. For more singing from Ren, of his own songs, some good options to check out are Chalk Outlines, Diazepam, How To Be Me, Crutch, Patience, Blind Eyed, Fire. There is also the Big Push stuff but once again that is mostly covers and mash ups. He really doesn't stick to any one genre. The songs that have drawn in his most passionate fans though are probably the more lyrical spoken word ones with a cinematic aspect like Hi Ren, Tale of Jenny & Screech, Money Game, or some other songs that hit you like a ton of bricks emotionally like Suicide, Insomnia or For Joe, but those are perhaps not the kind of thing that interest you which is fine. Kujo Beatdown fits in that category but it was a very unique song in a very specific context that really is not an introduction to his general music. I hope you explore more of Ren's work as he's enormously talented and I think you'll find a lot more stuff that you like, but of course you won't like everything and it's refreshing tbh seeing a bit more brutally honest critique from a reactor.

[@dannytheswedishmusixian1513]

[@larka742]

For a song by him do "Chalk outlines". Live version with Chinchilla.

[@stephenpodeschi6052]

Most people start with Hi Ren , & Sick Boi then there are the tales of Jenny & Screech ( trilogy ) , Money game 1, 2 , 3 another trilogy. Then there are dozens of choices depending on genre . It starts with a very young Ren in a boy group Trick the Fox where they were signed with Sony but due to personal tragedies and being bitten by a tick he was misdiagnosed for a decade , finally its been confirmed as lymes disease which he's having ongoing treatment for. All this and more is on Ren's sites and other Renegades can comment with more details. The point of saying this its the reason Ren has exploded on u'tube & getting more well known is his story is a massive part of his music with all his friends and collabs . If you go down the Ren rabbit hole you will understand he is a generational talent..... Anyway cheers for your reaction and if he's not for you that's fine.......

[@MissyGail4eva]

Happily agreed.. but only for reference accuracy (if he does look into it), Ren's former band was named Trick the Fox. Great comment, though😊

[@belinda35]

I agree that you should have started with Hi Ren and then possibly his two trilogies, The Tale of Jenny and Screech with Violet's Tale and the Money Game Trilogy. His band, The Big Push, is the tightest band I've ever heard. You should start with their mash-up of I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion / Hip Hop. You will be hooked. They do everything.

[@twistedpixel756]

Jenny and Screech are in the correct order in the 13:30ish runtime. Also, for Money Game pt. 2, you want the lyric video.

REN is the new gold standard in music today IMO, and he's not pigeon holed by any particular musical genre, that's for sure. Check out his songs "Chalk Outlines" or "Dominoes" both originals, be sure to view the live busking versions! His band "The Big Push" absolutely beats up the classic Rolling Stones song "Sympathy for the Devil", his bass playing is simply outstanding, find the version where he's playing in a blue track suit, it also includes a version of "My Generation" by the WHO. REN is the real deal, and its only a matter of time before he's a household name. Cheers

Fans always come up with weird reasons why not all other people adore their chosen idol as much as they do. Taylor Swift fans are just as convinced Tay is the best ever and many Ren fans feel the same about him. It's just personal connection and taste. For Tay I've heard "You don't like her as much as me cause you don't like hugely successful artists" With Ren we now seem to get "dislike the unison praise of the renegades". I wish fans could wake up and see that all their idols are just human and happen to have talent in whatever field they're in but it doesn't make them untouchable by other artists etc.

It is hard to put Ren in a certain genre, he plays multiple instruments, sings, raps - many different styles, he is 34, he is a producer, he arranges most of his own material as well. He has been in several bands, "The Big Push" is the most recent. I would like you to check out a video that the band released about five years ago, very different style. "Swan Song". Just really to showcase just how vastly varried Ren can be. Thank you, love your reactions of many different artists, and I appreciate your honesty.

Thanks for taking the time to listen to Ren cover another musician's music. He likes to re-imagine other artists' music for fun and to experiment a bit. If you want to hear something he wrote with mostly or all singing definitely look at Su!cide, Chalk Outlines, How to be Me, Freckled Angel or one of his bands' music Trick the Fox was one band and Big Push is the second.

Ren covers music and reinterprets them because he busks ound Brighton. You can't really play original music and expect a crowd to listen. If you want to hear original music check out "Humble" or anything from his album called "Freckled Angel" along with his demo tapes albums. There are two volumes of demos that are amazing and really well produced. You have about 36 original tracks there. He wrote "Sick Boi" (his rap album) because he wanted to see if he could. The dude breathes music and has become one of my favourite artists in a long time and I've been writing music for over 20 years. His new album is going to be more avant grade which is exciting to hear. He jumps all over the place and doesn't have a lane. He just does what feels right to him. I really don't even consider his "rap" to be traditional "rap" because it's mostly spoken word poetry. Very few "rap" artists are able to accomplish that/

He is dropping a new song this week. Will be an original. I wonder what you would think of Seven Sins. 1st track on Sick Boi album?

Diazrpam is a good one, Ready for You, Everybody Drops. These have visualuzers rather than videos and might have been released during lockdowns. Ren is independent, so didn't have the health or money to do videos. Seven Sins is a powerful window into his fall into psychosis and was yhe intro into Sick Boi album.

Original song: Chalk Outlines. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWbccn-olNSjm8ksi=gxPk_M8OTOhhI_N5

Reacted to and will be uploaded soon. Thanks

[@guyincognito7442]

Don’t make assumptions, do some more research. Ren can do it all, has been influenced by MANY different artists and genres and is completely self-taught, all while dealing with unimaginable challenges.

[@magdalenadziewiecka8441]

Chalk outlines is original. Live version is great ❤

[@KAT-xs7lj]

Have you watched Hi Ren?

[@dannytheswedishmusixian1513]

I'm not sure, I think I might have before returning to doing reactions.

[@KAT-xs7lj]

@@dannytheswedishmusixian1513 many people find Hi Ren as life changing. Give it a try.

[@KAT-xs7lj]

I would think Hi Ren would be remembered. It’s that kind of song. Then there is the trilogy of Jenny, Screech and Violet. Money game parts 1-3.

[@dannytheswedishmusixian1513]

Yeah I'm not sure if I saw the video or if I just saw the image of him in a hospital gown.

[@fatalimbalance8577]

If you like 90's rap try the hunger by Ren he does not have one style of rap he can do it all hands down and his inspiration is 90's rap so I just find it funny that you keep saying that.

[@dannytheswedishmusixian1513]

Yeah I'm not a superfan of Beastie Boys but the great rap of the nineties.

[@fatalimbalance8577]

@@dannytheswedishmusixian1513 like Ren's tribute to Nas? Illmatic was one of the greatest albums to drop in the 90's.

[@dannytheswedishmusixian1513]

I dug nas but was not a superfan. Great rapper though.

[@fatalimbalance8577]

@@dannytheswedishmusixian1513 the difference between Ren and every other artist out there is he finds value in all music he is about lifting people up not knocking them down. Does not matter if you are Nas the Beastie Boys or Em he appreciates all music and artists.

[@dannytheswedishmusixian1513]

@fatalimbalance8577 It’ll be interesting seeing him make a mashup of his favorite K-Pop song and even metal songs.

[@lukede6555]

Check out humble, chalk outlines, diazepam… I think they will give you a better idea of REN’s originals

[@GeorgiaNash-ul7qh]

Hi ren you need to listen to

[@Caketime2]

Please at least listen to go ren before you form your opinion😊 hiren the tale Jenny and Screech and money game are all live performances

[@gregbeard6057]

You really need to check out the live version of Chalk Outlines; Ren and Chinchilla

[@dannytheswedishmusixian1513]

Recorded and will be published soon.

[@LB3_tx]

For Ren originals, after Chalk Outlines, try Humble and Ocean.

[@seancallahan6661]

If you want to see original work check out chalk outlines and I forgot how to be me. You are really missing out my friend.
