We are witnessing the rise of a legend.

Yes we are 💯

Damn straight!!

[@philk9227]

A true musical legend and most of all a real decent human being!

[@emilianoserranosouza1991]

Thats a fact!!

[@francesdoll4039]

I am loving that smile he gives straight on right before he opens the cans. He's turned down offers. I am loving his raps and I am 73 and never liked rap!

[@bethcote9978]

If Ren ever toured US, his audience would be all races, ages and genre fans. It would be awesome!

[@Silkytoaster]

True dat . I am in my 60’s and love this guy .

sadly if you guys over the pond continue like this there won't be any "all" left, but a lot of "me" =(

No one ever said to Ren ‘stay in your lane’. He’ll try anything and be exceptional at it.

[@Hexenkind1]

He has no lane, he just cruises on the whole highway.

Ren doesn't have a lane, because he drives a hovercraft. 🚀

[@aimeekeel]

“How can you be this good at everything ?” This summarizes my entire Ren experience.

[@adam.4487]

Ren is an enigma and a genius. Surprises around every corner. Everything Ren does is either fun, sad, outrageous, crazy, deep with meaning, or educational. Sometimes everything combined in one track. Amazing! Right? ☺ I am always here for you Jamel and just waiting for another Ren or Chinchilla.

[@willasacco9898]

That is an excellent description of Ren. What else will he do? We will all find out, to our satisfaction and pleasure👍

[@jessehelton9031]

His versatility. You nailed it. It’s truly one of a kind. You just don’t have anyone out there doing everything he’s doing at the level he’s doing it in the way he does it. Discovering Ren 2 months ago completely rocked my world and re-ignited a deep passion for music that I haven’t felt about in artist in a very very long time. I’ve been on a journey down the Ren rabbit hole ever since….He lead me into the world of reactors like yourself where I could share the enthusiasm for him and watch people feel what I felt. Truly grateful for Ren and the journey I’m on with him.

[@iainwilkes3669]

Exactly what you said Jesse, sums up my thoughts and experience of Ren.

[@mikeoliver159]

Ren is the gift that keeps on giving! He's got the deepest and richest treasure chest of any independent artist. He's remained humble and is truly appreciative of the success that's deservedly coming his way. And I love that he supports reactors and understands that they help drive awareness of his music. It must be great for reactors like Jamal to discover dope music to share with their subscribers without it being de-monetized after they've put all work into editing it.

[@cradlegrl]

One of my favorites!! Ren can rap!!

[@heffegrande]

This guy's an "ARTIST" serving us a buffet of musical talent. More reactions I love what your doing..

[@5siggi]

"How can he be this good at everything?" I asked myself that a lot. Love your reactions and love Ren 🥰

[@stanphillips7277]

I just saw Ren doing "Jenny and Screech" and "Violets Tale" which are all part of 1 tragic tale... this is who I think of when I think there's nothing good in the music world anymore! It's autotuned, overproduced, computer aided, talentless garbage and music's best days are behind us. Sting once said doesn't like songs that don't surprise him . The song has to have an element of surprise. Ren, man what I've seen of this talented dude is unpredictable and filled with surprises. I like his guitar playing and singing, talking, using his guitar for sound effects like a door knocking or a gun being fired. This brother does it all! I'm not into rap though but, I can tell he's really good at that too.. what can't he do? Man Ren! Thanks Brother Jamal, I love how you find something you like and just roll with it... like a binge 🤣✌️♥️🎸🎶🙏

[@cholst1]

Theres an incredible amount of great music coming out these days. Just gotta look for it. Other top notch UK artists are Little Simz and Alfa Mist.

[@stanphillips7277]

@@cholst1 I checked out Alfa Mist "Borderline" and I'm not into rap . I'll check out little simz (that sounds like rap as well) but, having said that, Borderline was free from the "N" word and the promotion of violence against police and that whole mentality so as rap goes , if I had to listen rap it was mellow and easy enough to understand. I'm a guitar player so I'm into music with _real_ instruments being played by real people. After the 90s ; with bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam, Soundgarden... autotuned singers and drum machines with backing tracks seemed to take over. The whole EDM thing right? Electronic Dance Music where DJs and rave stuff got popular it's hard to find music of quality like of the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s, (with exceptions of course but, few and far between) . That's what I like about Ren. He's a musician and a Singer and he raps of course but, I don't have to love _everything_ he puts out, just 1 song can be enough and, he's got plenty more than that. I'll check out a few more from each so as not to judge to quickly but, honestly if it's all rap like borderline...it's just not what I'm into, even from Ren. I see Ren is good at rap, but I can treat it like a salad bar 🤣 Take what you want and leave the rest Thanks Brother Pyotr though, you're a good human and enjoy your music man! Whatever moves you ! That's what it's all about right?✌️♥️🎸🎶🙏

[@melissat6890]

Awesome reaction ❤ Thank you. He is definitely an Artist in every sense of the word. No big team behind him, he does everything himself and he does Everything so well! Love your reactions

[@JerryPaulTreeCreations]

Ren seems to be hitting a lot like the Beatles did, back in their day. There are times that he reminds me of Prince. Next, I'm hearing Bob Marley. The story telling makes me think of mediaeval bards or minstrels, from way, way back. The words, and the way he can string them all together so seamlessly, just blows me away. He can really grab a listener's attention, and pull out some seriously deep emotions. This guy is someone special. I've binge watched musicians that I enjoy before, but I haven't binge watched any of them as much as I've binge watched Ren's stuff. I swear, it's almost becoming an addiction in itself! I've seen Ren's music being described as revolutionary. I disagree. Revolutions are violent. I would describe it as evolutionary. Cheers!

[@snakelite61]

He's hitting it hard on KZbin. The trick is to break out of this bubble. There are artists whose entire fame has been limited to KZbin for years. I don't know what it takes to break out to a wider audience. A label is the first thing that comes to mind. Are they all bad? I don't know but a lot of great, unique artists are signed and doing well.

[@loadedorygun]

Prince 100%. He’s fully in control of every single aspect of his craft, musically, lyrically, visually, style wise…and is bored with the same thing. He doesn’t have the catalog Prince does yet, but as an empresario I see a strong parallel.

[@asmodeus5326]

@@snakelite61 only problem is labels invest into the artist alot of money so they will get there money back from the artist which will end up with the label telling him what music to make because labels are stuck in the mindset they always have been in and he won't own his masters there's alot he can be huge but it will just have to be by people sharing which I think is better builds a better fan artist bond.

[@Hexenkind1]

The authenticity of 2pac but from another angle. That is what I see here with him. Over and over again.

[@loadedorygun]

That’s his bag reel-fuck the game, completed every level! If you notice he says he puts rhymes together like Frankenstein…and then the song is a series of different flow styles and cadences that don’t match, all stitched together like…he made a monster. Clever af.

[@neilandfi]

I love that you're getting into Ren's music. By rights he should be a household name, and maybe with help from people like yourself, he soon will be. If you haven't yet seen it, there's a full length interview with him on the "Justin Hawkins rides again " channel. Interesting not just because it's Ren, but because at times it's like eavesdropping on a conversation between 2 great musicians... Which they both are.

[@Proud.American58]

So glad you are enjoying and recognizing all the things Ren excels at. Please check out What You Want, 1990s and Power next. More Ren diversity

[@tylerlove2052]

Loved when you just put your head down and are basically saying I give up trying to explain this guy! 😂 As you were talking I was thinking, he also plans out these videos and knows exactly what he wants it to look like down to facial expressions and what angle he wants the camera. Limitless talent combined with work ethic! Joy to experience!

[@MsPoeticVisions]

I still just can't get enough of him. I'm 55 yrs old and I feel like a teenager again hearing a new band.

[@jasonbyassee7541]

Never seen this guy before. Dang

[@nancys9698]

Oh are you in for a treat! Start with Hi Ren 1st

[@Hexenkind1]

Oh gawd I envy you. You have a super special rabbit whole to dive into.

[@Shiroar]

One of my favourite songs by Ren. Along with Crutch feat. Bibi. The only problem with The Hunger is that it’s too short! I need more of this 😂

[@BrettShadow]

Humble is a song that could easily have been a #1 chart hit anytime from the early 90's to present. And should be now. It has elements of Lauren Hill (pre batshit crazy), Fiona Apple/Norah Jones, Marley, Ceelo Green, And you could associate probably 100 other major artist that sonically and/or stylistically could connect.

[@annefirethorn3847]

Yep.. "how can you be so good at everything??"...asking myself that very thing with every song lol

[@anastasiagreene5967]

You almost wanna cry at how good and brilliant and genuine . He is sending us messages that are souls crave. I feel like I ingest his songs in body.

[@bsmith8943]

Ren has been refreshing for me. Youth that is this telented gives us hope.

[@rebeccarose7405]

I think “incrazy” could catch on! He does post lyrics in the comments of his videos-which can be helpful when he goes off! ❤️☮️

[@christinekroening74]

Just amazing 😍

[@terrieb13]

Genius! Thanks for the reaction! ☮️🥰😎

[@blueisback3683]

You are so right, it's everything, right down to the locations he shoots from. And he just seems like a great guy from the interviews, we all need to support him to keep him doing what he is doing. Hope he does more with the BIg Push also, they just seem to enjoy performing together. This is going to seem strange, but this, this is like Dimash talent.

[@jeffreyclark456clark8]

Ren is a mutant, an X-man. His ability is the manipulation of sound waves and the ability to blow humans minds and turn them into Ren-zombies. Like some kind of pied Piper. His code name is wavelength. Unfortunately he is only a level 3 mutant but his mutation is growing inside giving him the potential to be off the charts.

[@petefranchella9125]

Has there been an artist since Marley, that has been able to connect with the human side of humanity in the way he does?

[@greynoise1409]

I am glad that Ren is going to stick with being his eclectic self and move from style to style. This current window of proving he can rap rap and it isn't just some gimmick is important to him and I do look forward to how he goes about presenting this latest music in a more performative setting (and I am not foolish enough to limit him to "concert environment" because who knows what he is going to dream up). But I also look forward to his going back to the guitar and singing for a stretch and whatever one-offs he can come up with (including the various varities within the hip-hop segment, the duets, and BardCore). Hopefully he hurries up with it all because I am impatient.

[@jeffmartin_UK]

I'm glad you got to this, it's superb! I love watching reactions to his work and on this you get the same kinda deal, he starts spitting and everyone is like 'woah big fella slow down' and I just smile because I know what's coming next.... "Pump the treble" 😂🔥🔥🔥 467 words in a track that's 2:30 🤯 Makes his own beats, directs the video, one take video and his own beat boxing It's borderline ridiculous 😂 What an absolute talent this man is.

You'll love his hommage to the Beastie Boys in his track What You Want. Can't wait and keep it going for all the good humans. :)

[@buskingbritt]

I watch so SO many reaction vids and this is my fav for this song ❤

[@Silkytoaster]

You nailed that - ‘ as soon as they get you - you’re gone “ . Ren needs to stay independent . It’s a tough road but he could then develope his art in the way he wanted to with out being pigeon holed. If Ren had continued to be represented by Sony they would have owned him . Told him you have to be the next Eminem or the Justin Bieber and you have to stay in that lane . Love your reaction by the way - love from Canada

[@user-ew3yt4kc1q]

The artistry is just phenomenal. He is the greatest right now (sorry Em). You put in the work for artists like Ren.

[@77zhenry]

Where ren differs from so many new artists ive heard is he is a scholar of music. Not just hip hop but music. Lyrically he mentions lenard cohen here. Rage against the machine is mentioned in one song. He covers so many others as well. Dont short change him by thinking this guy is just a genius. He has obviously worked hard to hine his craft. It is amazing. Musically this is the culmination of most music combined into a futuristic blend of the best of everything. And it comes from a dude called Ren. Its freaking mind blowing.

[@ladonnahafen9938]

Your reactions are great as always because they are genuine and relatable. ❤ Love Ren and his crazy Mary Poppins bag of skills
