Ren Lost All Faith First Reaction

[@jasonremy1627]

"Hi Ren" is a must. It's the song that made everyone sit up and take notice.

[@mvlpix4419]

although ren manages to cover all the genres, you cant just jump onto the ren-train at a random station. you need to start your journey with “hi ren”

[@IronRaspberry]

Hi REN is usually the starting point for most people who find REN.

[@LadyGX]

Oh, hon, you're just barely scratching the surface. Ren's like no other.

[@peachpreview]

I’m quickly discovering his versatility!

[@JoH4LH44]

Great reaction. Thanks ❤

[@arielbussart1305]

There are 2 things I love most about Ren. 1) Always expect the unexpected, you never know what you're gonna get. Not only does he do multiple genres, he's a genre bender! 2) How genuine he is. He's the same in his music, interviews, and live streams (he goes live usually after dropping original art, not his retakes). I always recommend new Ren viewers to check out his YT 1 million subscriber speech, helps you understand his overall message. Enjoy your journey, he's worth every moment!

[@knyoung2]

54 year old Hip Hop from the 80's Boston. Music is my life. Ren is by far the most talented musician I have ever heard.

[@debthecpn]

That’s high praise indeed.

[@T_Witti]

Eventhough I'm a hardcore Renegade I see why people think his voice can get annoying, but the only thing that it tells me is that you haven't heard enough of him :D As the others have pointed out Hi Ren is usually the start into the rabbit hole, but this time I would go with Ren X Chinchilla Chalk Outlines to hear him acutally sing

[@EV4RY]

The kid has noticeable and recognisable lyrical and writing skills, new generation is here!

[@BLIND82]

He's 33 soon to be 34!! He ain't no kid!! He's extremely strong and wise and immensely talented.

The female voice at the end is a sample.

Yes I completely blanked on the sample at the end.

[@ESTOverEverythingXX]

Ren is one amazing artist. Absolutely love him.

[@kazpwright]

Me too!

[@UnbiasedNews853]

If you’re gonna dive into REN ya need to understand his story. A best friend who ended his own life as a teenager (The song For Joe covers that story). Wrongly diagnosed with various mental illnesses and put on heavy meds for it that ended up really messing up his brain. Then finally being diagnosed with Lyme and has spent the last year in Canada having treatment for the Lyme and to try and get his brain functioning properly again. (Songs like Hi Ren, Chalk Outlines, etc speak on that stuff). He really is a warrior and his story is inspirational to say the least

[@Shiroar]

Oh no please don’t recommend watching For Joe before Freckled Angels and Suicide. The experience is so much more special when you know those songs.

[@sciaticsfletcher]

Thank you for taking my suggestion brother. I did forget about the sample of the woman's voice at the end. My apologies for that. But love this song and thanks again! Cheers!!

[@im2yz4u17]

Every Ren song is different to some extent. You do not get the same person each time. Renegades value that considerably. Ren's rap is not the same as contemporary rap; he allows those of us who historically hate rap to appreciate it to an extent we look at rap differently. But I think his fans enjoy his music simply because he is the most genuine individual we can find in the music scene today! Genuine as in a truly good hearted and amazing person. Ren does not sugar coat anything, especially his idealism. It is refreshing in a world of horrid commoditized music we hear today. You have experienced two very different Ren's so far. You have 79 more to go.

[@ESTOverEverythingXX]

I recommend you watch more Ren like Murderer, Chalk Outlines, Ren, Sick Boi

[@TWFydGlu]

An old favorite from before he got super good at production is Crutch. I really like Loco from the latest album.

[@samuelsomething6059]

I would HIGHLY recommend listening to Crutch as well. Beautifully devasting.

[@francesdoll4039]

I concur on Crutch. Devastating and powerful and artistic.

[@Shiroar]

Crutch is one of my personal favourites! Absolutely stunning piece of emotional art.

[@AnnikaAyriss]

Listen to REN’s song Loco when you get a chance. I believe every sound you hear made with just Ren’s mouth, from the wrap to the percussion and everything in between, no instruments other than Ren.

[@analisasmith7927]

So glad you decided to try another Ren! 😁👍So many to recommend next. Have you heard Hi Ren? It’s got over 25 million views in just over a year - with no radio play or concerts! Also, I definitely recommend you watch his 5 min thank you speech for getting one million subscribers called Defining Success. Best wishes X

[@cody2oo]

Hi Ren, seven sins

[@5Seed]

Rend voice is lovely when he's singing in his band The Big Push.

[@TobiiRheaStarr]

Ren doesn’t have two songs the same, he has multiple voices and can do EVERYTHING musically 🔥🖤

[@iamsquatty]

Hi ren is a must after this! 😊💜💜

[@Irmelinis]

More like this one? Try out "Illest of Our Time", "Seven Sins", "Sick Boi". Good to see you giving him another listen!! Awesome reaction, subscribing for more Ren ;)

[@Oitsugina93]

Glad to see ypu jumping right in❤❤. Most reactors start with "Hi Ren" Up to you.

[@YorkshireRippler]

I knew you would change your mind lol. You are in for a joyous and emotional ride. If you think this is a 10/10 you are gonna need some bigger numbers. I would suggest 'Hi Ren' before you go any further as it gives an insight in to why Ren raps/sings about the things he does, plus it's a fucking masterpiece!

[@samuelsomething6059]

Ha! Beck! One of my favorite artists from the 90’s and someone I’ve compared Ren to in their versatility. although Beck wasn’t much of a rapper, he was most definitely schooled in all forms of music. Ren is very much a fan and student of many genres of music. For more on that, I would check out Ren’s now defunct band, The Big Push. Would highly recommend, I shot the sheriff/road to zion/hip hop” as a starting point down that rabbit hole. It’s not my favorite by them, but probably the one that shows just how great they were live and being able to seamlessly mashup songs. link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4TIdKiIapalm80

[@gingerroo123]

I LOVE this song! Love the layers. Amazing lyrics and storytelling as usual. Chorus is 🔥. Video is insanely good. Check out: Seven Sins, Sick Boi, The Tales, Chalk Outlines (live). Great reaction - thank you 💛

[@mandynoske5809]

Rens catalogue is very deep 😊 there is something for everyone ❤ ❤

[@sampanther8854]

Honesty is the best policy 👍 even if some don't agree.. Most Renegades want real reaction not fake to Ren as he does draw out alot of emotions out of us all so just be you don't change for anyone ❤️✌️ this song is one of my favs but there is so many 😂 Welcome to the World of Ren enjoy it ❤️✌️

[@gingerroo123]

💯‼️ This

[@RayasRealm]

Welcome to the RENaissance! Ren is exceptionally unique and his music reflects that (as well as his incredible musical talent). He is truly an odyssey and you won’t regret diving into this rabbit hole!

[@itsakittyting]

Start with Hi Ren it is an introduction to himself ♥ welcome to the Renaverse

[@NilZed1]

His lyric videos are top tier, produced as a value added experience not just a money-grubbing crutch to help you learn the words.

[@CindyBaucom-sb1hd]

Great reaction. I hope you enjoy REN. Dont let some of the RENegades scare you off ….. they can be very passionate. Look forward to seeing your channel grow.

[@Dr.Brummel]

Ren produces all his songs himself. He has some references to Kendrick Lamar in other songs.

[@francesdoll4039]

The female voice is a sample. I knew you would love him. And of course be honest. We got a couple fan-atics, but we basically a bunch of lovers here.❤ you are gonna have so much fun! LOCO is a capella. All the sounds come from his mouth! Animal Flow acoustic version is full of Ren noises that i love and so many songs from the Big Push. Think i already suggested his busking with Sam Tompkins, Earned it/A Man's World/Falling I'm here for it. Subbed.

[@Shiroar]

I appreciate that you’re continuing down the Ren rabbit hole to figure out why he has such a dedicated fan base. I predict you will soon become a RENegade yourself this way 😂 A suggestion on how to get to know him: Hi Ren -> Sick Boi -> Crutch feat. Bibi -> Chalk Outlines (live version) with Chinchilla -> Seven Sins. And then maybe his 1m subscribers video on defining success. I think this will give you a good picture of Ren as a relatable voice for people with physical and/or mental health issues. It is one of the main reasons he has gathered such a strong and supportive following #NotACult 😉 😂 Another reason is the variety and unpredictability in his catalogue. The above suggestions will also start giving you an idea about his range, but for a deeper understanding, check out the trilogy of tales (there’s a 13 minutes video containing all 3 songs in order and they’re best experienced like that in one go), The Hunger, Illest of Our Time, Humble feat. Eden Nash, Penitence feat. Molly McKinna, and then definitely also check out the band The Big Push. Maybe even go all the way back to Trick the Fox where Ren was around 20. The Ren rabbit hole is wide and deep, but I promise you that the journey is well worth the time. And the RENegades will be here to support you on the way ❤🐰🕳️

[@TheRealRobM]

welcome to the Ren rabbit hole. buckle up for the ride, subbed. the more you listen, that voice will become an ear worm. trust me. you'll hear the lyrics and music when you wake. most I've been excited about an artist in over 25 years.

[@pamthealmighty]

Exactly!

[@CirTap]

👍🏻This is one of 4 tracks on his UK #1 (hip hop/rap) album "Sick Boi" where he didn't write the music himself but only made some minor edits. The female vocals are part of the original instrumental. The album features 18 distinct songs in total plus 1 extra on the deluxe download edition. His earlier albums and EPs are also very different as id the work he did with his (live) rock band The Big Push.

[@frankensteinfpv]

As much as this one is a banger. You are in for a real treat the further you dive down the Ren rabbit hole..

[@craigbullard8163]

[@Tokin420]

Check out the Tales of Jenny and Screech its a 13 minute trilogy. Also Chalk Outlines the live version by Ren. I seen ur fred again mashup reaction. Yes i was a lil perturbed when u said ud be tired of his voice by the 7th track. But at least u gave him another go. Dont quit. Hes awesome

[@familybizon795]

Check out Lolco. It's all with just Ren's voice. Beatboxing etc. Its pretty freakung awesome. He has some serious skill.

[@pamthealmighty]

One of my favorites!!! Power is also at the top of my list too ❤

[@tammys8711]

Older stuff too…I love Power, Genesis,1990s, Valium, and any busking with The Big Push. The Hunger and Chalk Outlines are fantastic. Next to Tom MacDonald’s, discovering Ren was my favorite rabbit hole!!

[@PoliticallyPink]

Know which song is ALL REN? Loco! So much fun, and pretty impressive when you realize it's *all* him! But "Hi Ren" is definitely up next! Or soon!

[@debrashrider4062]

Thank you for reacting to Ren.

[@Kymlaar]

Thanks for an excellent reaction! Love that you're taking the time to move through different songs and get a feel for the artist. The sounds of Beck kind of does make me think of Ren, in that there is an honesty and unapologetic joy to the musical exploration and artistry, even if the subject matter isn't always smiles and rainbows.

[@Bonjovicrzy]

Hi, thank you for doing Ren .do not let the Ren fans scare you He does not disappoint if you dig deep into all his music and know his story,,, He is a musical genius , and a poet of words ,,, knowing some of his story helps understand his his music better, I love all his music and listen to it all but love his fun, band, busking stuff along with his live performances better but that is me Ren's song LOCO that is all Ren voices, music, instruments .and all … And he did part of it a cappella even and he beatboxes more in Loco personally I love both songs and both are on my playlist he released Loco and Lost Faith about the same time. And there is some similar. of the two songs, Even think the same people did both lyric videos.

[@WitsEndGirl]

Hi, nice reaction. I look forward to seeing other reactions of Ren and others in Ren's talented group of friends. The female vocal is a sample, that's the only other vocal on the song. If you decide to explore Ren's catalogue you'll get a very broad experience. See you at the next one.

[@shestu]

There is a bit of 21 pilots sound in Ren's stuff, although I don't think I've ever heard him identify them as an influence.

[@kazpwright]

New subscriber.... Welcome to the world of Ren. Another Ren fan here of course so I'm biased but.... he is a breath of fresh musical air... I look forward to your journey down the rabbit hole. 'Hi Ren' started it for me... released Dec22. and 💟 from the UK. ps. no auto tune.

[@Create834TY]

When you hit a Ren track blind, you never know what you're going to get. 🤯

[@yinunit]

Although Hi Ren is an absolute must watch I think your individual journey is fine - It is interesting to me as a Ren fan to watch your journey

[@nada-8-4-2]

A lot of rens stuff is around his struggle with Limes disease which he really struggled with for years because he was misdiagnosed. Understanding that helps understanding many of his works. Hi Ren is perhaps the best way to come to grips with how good he really is and is a very deep song. But along the lines of what you just watched, try the official lyric video version of Seven Sins

[@andrewpike9320]

[@mama-llama4527]

[@jasonklenetsky5687]

Hi Ren

[@inspiredfunkmark]

Lol... welcome to a journey!!

[@salishseamermaid]

Hi Ren is a must, because there's nothing else like it (in spite of obvious influences). The Money Game series is fantastic social commentary. Chalk Outlines (live version, with Chinchilla) for beautiful vocals. The Hunger for straight up rap. Suicide, if you need a good cry. Murderer, because he kills it. (Those last two had me, a nurse, walking around at work singing lyrics about death and murder--super inappropriate! 😂) Animal Flow, if you like dystopian literature. Back On 74/Message In A Bottle retake if you're in the mood to sit in a dim lounge at 3am as an after party winds down. ... That's just a start. There's a Ren for every mood.

[@peachpreview]

I think I be doing Hi Ren next. But I did just do his recent message in a bottle retake, that I’ll probably have up tomorrow. I love a good cry/emotional music but for as long as I’ve been playing and through out my I’d be surrounded by music I think I could count on one hand how many times a song has made me cry. If anything.. music videos get more to me than the song along on an emotional level. Thanks for all the suggestions!

[@mikenighbor4524]

You definitely will say better ane you might have already. I'm behind o your journey. His voice can sound like anyone. Maybe it's great productio but he does so much live

Ren has no Genre - he is like a box of chocolates, you literally have no idea what you gonna get. If you are open to that concept you will love him. I didn't see your original reaction. However, the Fred Again Mashup must be taken in context of the fact that this was a retake of five EDM tracks, done soulfully and with visceral emotion. I hope you enjoy your trip down the rabbit hole. It is deep. Otherwise, no hate, Ren probably isn't for everyone. No artist is.
