Want to say a big thank you for everyones support over the years. During the years trapped inside with chronic health problems the main thing that kept me going was a belief that one day I would come out the other side, and be able to achieve success through music. I don’t have a label, and sometimes pushing these things as hard as I want becomes a massive challenge, and I find myself frustrated that there aren’t enough hours in the day to push it as far as I want to. I would love to ask a favour to anyone who has ever enjoyed my music over the years, and it will only take a few minutes of your day.It would mean the world to me if you shared these tracks as much as you can, over social media platforms, with friends, over email. Together, and with your help I can hopefully reach people all over the world, and get one step closer to the dream I always had! Thank you so much for the support so far!

One two three Spitting bullets on the beat I'm a sick little puppy Who gets lucky when he speaks Blessed with a silver tongue Chest with an iron lung Extra terrestrial, tentacles, alien Psychopathic tendencies A pathologic entity If everything is set in stone Then this is how it's meant to be Elementary dear Watson, you might find Yourself in side the mind of the illest of our time Lets get it Popping, Hot rocking, Im Freddy Kruger, I’m chopping, I turn it up to eleven, the Demigorgon of Oppin The strangest thing I’m the boss when The danger - lingers I’m plotting Sweet like a spoon full of sugar Because Im Mary like Poppins The double barrel is cocking A shotgun shell to the noggin Im coughing catchy bronchitis Your in your funeral coffin No blocking, stoping me not when I pick the world up - I’m squatting And when I take from the rich i’m in your hood and Im Robbin Four, five, six, spit a crucifix Six six six flow, crucify a catholic Maverick, anti-hero ,villain not protagonist Words are kind of muffled when you’re sucking on my massive… Who’s the fucking illest, who’s the realest, who’s the baddest kid? Call the police on this beat before I damage it A kiddie called screech on the streets I’m a masochist, So far from reach, I’m the type to kill a pacifist Catalyst for chemical combustion I’m the analyst Of metaphors and similes and synonyms an alchemist Evangelist - spread the words I speak like they’re cancerous Pragmatist - think before I speak then I answer it Pull up, pull up, pull up to the place When I pull it, bang, a bullet sang, it shot right into space Music for the hooligans let loose on the estate, call the police and the riot vans the people want to play, hey! Freedom now, has lost all meaning, how can we all be free in a hierarchic breeding ground The poor get poorer while The rich get rich in style Ill be a heretic, kill a king, take his crown Top of the throne, top of the kingdom I own, top of the streets that I roam top of the dome, spitting for britain I show em bars like a cellular phone Hyping like Tyson, an icon, go twice in, left, right in, I’m striking like I’m biting like a python Ready? I’m heavy, I’m Mercury, I am Freddy, So eat my words fill your belly Like alphabet spaghetti I am a rap star Don’t believe me the facts are I spit fast like I’m nascar Don’t believe me? Then fuck ya, ah shit I don’t feel so well I don’t feel so well I don’t feel so well Call a medic for myself I don’t feel so hot my brother Aching, shaking, stop then stutter Things gone wrong Hit by king king kong A Swan-ton bomb like Hardy Brothers I don't feel so fresh my bro Things get slurry speaking slow Head in Hong Kong wonton soup Is what I have for Brains I know That I want to spread these tattered wings hold them high Banished from the heavens but Im knocking on the sky Living with depression is a blessing in disguise Never second guessing, intuition getting wise Want to sink into the pupil of my eye Travel to the corner of my cornea and mind Look for all the answers that I never seem to find Till then I guess I’m still the illest of our time

Ren.. doubt you’ll see this but I want to thank you for getting this 73 yo Gma of 2 20 yr old grandsons to better understand and appreciate rap. I like (and listen to) all types of music, but I had avoided rap. Your posts, and the gazillion reactions to them, have helped me with how this music is structured.. and how better to understand it. You have such a gift and I believe you know how to best use it. I hope you are able to fully recover from your battle with auto-immune issues.. or at least are able to fully live with them and thrive. Be well and take care of yourself; your light is bright and beautiful right now.. don’t let it dim!!

[@j3611]

Same, my 17 yr old son is always throwing out rhymes at me which I usually try to ignore; BUT I'm 48 and sort of finding out why he likes this type of music. I love music that tells a story, and Ren definitely does that in every new video I've been discovering on YT. Might not understand or keep up with everything, but I appreciate how incredibly talented he and everyone around him must be to put these amazing videos together.

[@johnwesch5926]

Hello, I think you would also appreciate the greatest ever freestyle rapper. Harry Mack is incredible and his Omegle Bars series is his most popular work. I recommend OB 79 & 80 to start with or you can start at OB 01 and watch how much better Harry gets. Peace

[@zan821]

@@randal_gibbons oh yeah harry mack is the goat

[@RuinedTemple]

I can only guess due to how little I know, but there's a rap artist who goes by the name NF who you may find that you can appreciate & value for the same or similar reasons. If you decide to give any of his songs a listen, & in case your tastes in listening experiences are comparable to mine, I suggest Googling their lyrics so that you can read them as he raps them (if you're able to read & listen/watch simultaneously). It's something I used to do when I first began listening to rap because I wasn't yet used to the speed at which the lyrics are often delivered so I wasn't yet able to understand the words without reading them; but I also wanted to be able to understand a song's message at the same time that I listened to it because I felt that it allowed me to have a more comprehensive, cohesive, immersive, & emotional listening experience overall... so that's what I did until I eventually learned how to actually HEAR rap lyrics in real-time.

About this time last year I was in the process of putting together the videos for the Sick Boi album. My friend B**** had just bee made homeless, he was kicked out of his previous flat for having some wild parties, and covering the walls in graffiti. I bumped into him one day and he was full of excitement. "Ive got the sickest place ever to film in" B**** had just moved into a squat in an old shop across the road. He told me the place was massive, and that there was a small homeless community living there. I arranged to go check out the place a few days later. Me and my camera guy Sam headed over, we had to enter through a small side entrance, a big green metal door. There was this kid outside, probably about 18, 19, waiting to get in, obviously twisted on a universe of drugs, who started telling us how his girlfriend had stolen all his things, halfway through the story he broke into a double time rap and told us he was gona be the biggest rapper in Brighton. The big green door flew open, there was screaming, three lads launched another out, covered in blood. I knew him, i'd met him at one of B***'s partys a few weeks before. They told him he wasn't welcome anymore. I guess this was the place. A guy with his hood up got in my face and asked what I wanted, but then recognised me from making music and became instantly cheery. I told him B**** had said it was a good place for filming, and he asked me if i'd like a guided tour, this place already seemed perfect for what I had in mind. The place was massive, 4 underground warehouse floors, an old industrial lift, cables ripped out the walls, and a big cage where I assume they used to keep stock. My guide told me that they'd have organised fights in the cage most nights, they'd get drugged up on ketamine so they couldnt feel anything, and beat eachother till one gave up. I found B**** in the middle of one of the giant ware house floors making a small fire, he was in the throws of addiction at the time and it showed. B**** is undoubtedly one of the most witty and charismatic people I know, but at this point the claws of addiction had sunk their hands in and he was illegible and erratic, ill be honest it was really difficult to see, I love him, and before that i'd tried everything I could to help him, but until people are ready for help you cant. Speaking from a decade of sobriety life can be very beautiful without chemical escapism but I digress. We set up a week later, the shoot was chaotic. During it the 19 year old kid we met outside stole a baseball and cricket bat we were using for props, ran upstairs and smashed through 4 of the upstairs windows. Another person living in the squat proceeded to accuse every member of the crew for stealing her iphone, followed by lots of screaming and kicking, which obviously hadn't happened. Despite this we got through the shoot, making the most of each spot, wrapping up in the early hours of the morning we'd brought something together that looked awesome. The atmosphere was constantly tense, which was perfect. The video ended up one of the best we've ever filmed. It looked way better than if we'd spent a stupid amount of money building a set, because it was real, and that delivered an unmatched rawness. Illest Of Our Time comes out on the 29th of March! Can't wait for you to see it

[@glammauniqorn406]

Can’t wait for the song to drop, intrigued by the video description. I spent a lot of my teens and twenties living in different squats, some nice, some not so nice. You summed up what squat life can be like pretty accurately. I now work with addicts in homeless hostels, everyday is a different heartbreak but the success stories make it all worth it. Hope you’re still continuing to improve everyday, we’re all thinking of you. And I hope things improve for your friend B.

​@@RenMakesMusic Ren. Depression. Doctors. Blessed with a brain: How much longer will I endure this pain? Like a parched desert flower desperate for rain, Looking to the skies, Sliver of hope still remains, But at the end of it all it's clearly in vein. There's only so much a person can take, Only so much they can forsake, The torturous hurt ~ the betrayal ~ the heartache, Clasping my hands I pray for sanities sake. But it just doesn't stop; In fact it gets worse, My tears drench the page, As I'm writing this verse. I can't carry on; I want to go home, Where there's peace and there's light, No more darkness to roam. Will you love me just as I am? Will you deliver me like only the Lord can? I'm asking the impossible, That's plain to see, Because hope's not enough, And I'm losing my identity. I've lost her - Her is me. Where did I go? Where can I be? I just want to 'be', No pain or plight, I'm praying for rain, Because I have no more fight. I'm caught in this circus, An endless charade, A clown's painted smile, So tired of the facade. Like a Möbius strip, I'm bent out of shape, Forced into situations, In which I don't want to partake. They've pushed me so far, That's its hard to pertain, It's hard to remember, When my life wasn't their game. I don't ask for pity, I'm just trying to explain, That I'm a parched desert flower, Begging for rain. #sickestbelieve #keepshootingalchemyrennyboi

[@sympathyforthedevil1553]

The song feels like an act of vulnerability and authenticity because he's showing us a darker side of himself, that is just as true & real to him as his other sides. We know from his previous songs he has at least 2 sides: the genius side and the physically ill side. It's easy to empathize with these, appreciate them, and value them. But with 'Illest of our Time' I think he shows us a 3rd side that is harder to empathize with -- the dark/twisted side of Ren. The lyrics are brutal, twisted, violent, to some degree. And they are also him. And that's fine--we all have some 'twistedness' in us--we just conceal it to different degrees. Ren in this case is revealing his darkness, putting it on display for all to see. His final scheme lyrically here ties it all together by suggesting he is a 'fallen angel' with tattered wings, banished from heaven. But then he says 'Living with depression is a blessing in disguise, never second guessing intuition getting wise.' His depression helped him grow wiser, more self-aware, & Ren exposing his dark/twisted side like this, unapologetically, could be seen as an act of self-awareness-borne-from-suffering, authenticity, and vulnerability. His wearing white, I think, is meant to contrast the partial perception we might form of him (heroic, savior, goodness, vulnerable, soft) against the violent backdrop of animals fighting each other in an abandoned warehouse.

[@sorrellsons4440]

😢😮 wow this is a very twisted up song/rap. I truly hope he gets the help he is searching for. To me this song is him calling for attention... he is wearing white as a symbol of spreading his wings far and wide, has rebelled christianity perhaps, struggling with religion... everyday society anxious issues, financial struggles, living expenses, all rolled into one.

[@DistrictWitch]

Haha nah, he's just not religious, simple as. Was kinda strange seeing allll these Americans thinking he was a Christian tbh! Why worry about a man who writes bars like 'I am the demigorgon of oppin'? That shows you exactly his depth of the wider, hidden world, and it is entirely not Christian, dude is a Gnostic if anything. Interesting interpretations from the OP but the comment that was worrying about him is misplaced imo. He's leagues above most religious people when it comes to serious existential thought - this vid is proof enough

Ditto. Last week I had my therapist's appointment on Monday, and then my GP visit on Friday, and I have social anxiety, and not "being in a crowd makes me anxious", that's actually very okay, even going to the store is okay, because I'm basically invisible, but it's stuff like doctor's appointment, when all their focus is on me, that I really dread that and freak out. Anyway my GP told me my liver is showing signs of distress and she signed me up to go to the hospital to get an abdomen sonogram to better look into it, so, more dread, more social anxiety waiting which I'm already dreading, on the 28th. But then I saw on the 29th this will come out, and it's like I changed from thinking "5 days till I have to go to do the sonogram..." to "yes, but 6 days till we get a new Ren's song". The anticipation and excitement of it almost cancel out my dread and anxiety. And even if it'll be a horrible experience, I'll know I'll soon have something amazing to watch. Sorry that I blabbered too much, I'm literally unable to be brief. But all that just to say, this also completely changed the outlook I have for the rest of the month. Not many can do magics like this. Ren is one of the few.

51 year old Scottish fan here. Really looking forward to this Ren. Words can't describe the impact that "Hi Ren" had on me and since then, the privilege of listening to so many of your songs. I'm sad I didn't know of you until a few weeks ago, but happy I found you in the end 😊 From the amazing, lyrics, singing, rapping, music and artistry, I have been amazed. You even brought happy tears to my eyes, even making me reminisce about a time in my life I first listened to the Beastie Boys ☺️ (What you Want) I've struggled with mental health issues most of my life and I'm in a really bad place right now, mostly cut off from the world. I want to thank you for sharing your extraordinary talents and please know that they impact people like me in such a positive way ❤

@debi Hold on & hold on tight 💚

I am a 56 yr old neuro divergent woman. I used to have a saying, "Can't spell crap, without rap" You've changed all that! This is the music my soul needs. I live off grid, 30 miles from anything. I live alone, because mostly, people suk. But this music has given me something I thought I lost a long time ago. The inspiration, the drive, and the determination to create my dreams. Thank You, For being here, at this time. When everything is so chaotic, your music is my peace. Thank You Ren. ....and to all the Ren-a-gades, out there! It's so wonderful to see all the oldsters like me, being touched by this music. ❤

Keep it up Ren! love hearing all your music. would love to hear you sing more like you did at the end of Hi Ren.

Ren what you do is mind blowing to me. I can relate so much to these two sides you are portraying in your art. The one side that is struggling with mental health issues and illness and the other side that is so wild and unstoppable and wants to conquer the world. I have never experienced as many goosebumps with any musician as i do when i‘m listening to your stuff. And it‘s so interesting to think that everything you‘ve experienced enables you to produce art that i can consume and be like „i know what he feels“. You are the greatest artist of our time.
