Ren - Sick Boi (Official Music Video)

[@RenMakesMusic]

Were close to being able to hit a top 10 record spot, maybe even a number one! Pretty unbelievable for an independent record! You can help push that even further! Pre-order the Sick Boi album by clicking this link! bio.to/Ren-Sick-Boi Sickboi is out on all streaming platforms now!! renmakesmusic.lnk.to/sickboi As always here are the lyrics for anyone who wants them Hi Ren thanks for coming today” “Thanks for seeing me” “ looking at your file here it seem s there’s a very apparent interplay with your emotional state and your physical body. Have you heard of the trauma response?” “Um, I don’t think so” “Basically our bodies can get stuck in a negative feedback loop. Our subconscious can repeat patterns from the past which can have a pretty drastic downstream effect on our biology.. Essentially… your mind is making you sick” Sick boy sick boy, Bitten by a tick boy, Looking for that fix boy, Anabolic steroids, Stem cell poster boy, Pass out, white noise Quick fix, snake oil, I'm about to break boy Oh, what a shame he’s in pain have another go, Take another pill, here, take a couple more Let see how your doing in another week or so You’ll be feeling worse when the side effect’ll show De-realization medical patient Loosing patience with the process Walking hand in hand with satan Complications with the medication Inflammation, dehydration, inhalation aggravation Building up a toleration Drown sucker, drown sucker, drown sucker, drown Ive been feeling like I’m drowning with my feet upon the ground Ive been screaming I’ve been shouting I but I never make sound Ive been looking for a way out but I always seem to drown “Is this all making sense Ren?” “Yeah, I think so” “Good, what I propose we do is try to pinpoint the exact experiences from the past that are keeping you stuck. What can you tell Mme about your childhood?” “I can’t really think…” “Its okay if nothing comes up right away, What id like you to do is take some deep breaths with me, In and out, In and out Good now tell me the first thing that comes to your mind…” I feel like its not me, its the world that’s sick Were given everything we need and we commodities it We consume, we destroy like were parasitic Science tells us that its suicide and still we commit Im not sick, we are sick, we are standing on a cliff In the name of progress we jump off the precipice Im not sick I’m the virus, you’re the virus, hypocrite! How can you sit there with that smile on And tell me that I’m sick? Sick boy, sick boy, looking for a fix boy Push it down in public quick pose for the pic boy Record label meetings that commodify your gift boy Why you so upset? Don’t you wanna be a rich boy? Fuck no Industry is cut throat Ive been doing bits by myself swimming back stroke Walking on a tight rope Rapping with a slit throat The way that we persist is like the ending of a bad joke As the people evolve Were complacent to assailants And we do what we’re told Counter intelligence, a sight to behold Rape the earth of all resources and we bleed it for gold We bleed it for wealth, we bleed it for fame But when you bleed it can you tell me what the fuck will remain? And I bleed in myself I bleed in my brain While I’m bleeding, I’m the reason Cause I’m doing the same

Sick Boi is more than just a song; it’s a poignant exploration of mental health, identity, and the complexities of human emotion. Ren’s ability to blend relatable lyrics with an engaging musical style makes this a powerful anthem for those navigating their own struggles. By opening up about his experiences, he not only connects with his audience but also encourages others to embrace their vulnerabilities, fostering a supportive community in the process. Can never get enough. ❤

I'm 53, and it seems from the comments that your music is connecting with a lot of us older people. Maybe it's because we grew up with music that meant something and have been starved for this. Suddenly because of youtube, we have found something that transcends the commercial meaningless garbage and it shines like a jewel when we've been stuck in a lake of shit. Ren, you deserve your fantastic independent success. Keep it up you sick boi.

Aa a 50 year old, I 100% wholeheartedly concur!! Well said

[@SoZen08]

Yes! I relate 100%. Ren is REAL. He creates music with a passion. He keeps surprising but I don't think that he'll have to keep doing that forever, because the main thing to me is that he's so genuine AND goes beyond "boxes" (genres). It really does evoke the same kind of excitement in me as when I first discovered Cocteau Twins, Joy Division, Depeche Mode, and so many other great, original, bands that don't care about sticking to conventions. It's unique and it unites.

I also have ADHD, ASD, Anxiety. And Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome...I also overcame depression and Dissociative Identity Disorder but still have PTSD and BPD too. Ren speaks so much truth! Many times, I feel like I am not the one who is sick. Everyone is sick! But to speak against Capitalism and the Greed Machine, gets a person labeled as a Commie and an enemy of the state. They say Capitalism is what made us great! But when your conscious struggles to justify it all, you get labeled as mentally ill. Normal people just stuff it all into the blinders and get along with life? We face a lifetime of abuse for just not getting with the Program. We get labeled as Sick, Dangerous, The Enemy, as we watch humanity walk...run, straight for the hellfire. And we jog trepidatiously like...shouldn't we be going the other way?

[@markschoch9509]

@@RenMakesMusic I don't know if you've heard of Tom MacDonald (he gets so much hate. Ill probably get hate just saying his name), but he's also 100% independent. As he always says: "No record label, no distribution, No co-sign, no publicists, No manager, no teammates, No money to make up my budget with, No groceries, no studio, No bookin' agent, no bucket list, No PR and no marketin'... Just fans." He has the independent artist thing down. He writes his lyrics, makes the beats, raps and records the song. He has one guy who mixes and masters his songs. Then him; his girlfriend; sister; and brother-in-law build all the sets, his girlfriend shoots all his videos and does all the editing. They design all the merchandise, he autographs all his CDs (yes, he sells CDs and they sell like crazy), they package Bd ship everything themselves etc. At one point he put out a video every two weeks for over a year and grew his fan base quickly. All his videos get millions of views with several 10 million and 20 million views. Same with his streams and downloads. He gets more views streams, and downloads than top mainstream artists do whren they release on the same day. In 3 - 4 years he has made well over $20 million easily. His self promotion and marketing strategy is on point. He now has 21 #1 billboard plaques. You don't have to like him, but you have to respect what he's accomplished as a 100% independent artist. He is arguably the biggest fully independent artist in the world. A lot of "independent" artists (Tech N9ne, Royce Da 5'9", Joyner Lucas, etc) have industry management, publisists,, distribution, etc. If he can do it, so can you. If possible find a way to contact him and talk. He's a cool guy, he'll tell you what he did to blow up, how he monetized his success (even monetizing off all the hate/haters), the mistakes he made what he would do differently, etc. You already have a huge buzz right now, so you can easilyblow up even more than you have and turn it into more money than thought possible. The money will allow you to pour 100% of yourself into music with no worries about food, bills, mortgage, etc. Sorry for the long ass comment but hopefully it's helpful. If so, I have a public relations degree and have worked in marketing, promotions, management, etc.... if you need any assistance. Just sayin. Haha

@Ren I am a 57 year old woman from the southern US. I have seen many musical genres come and go. I've seen many musical platforms come and go, i.e. 8-track, cassette, etc. Thank goodness vinyl seems to be making a comeback. However, I can honestly say, I am truly thankful for the internet and KZbin, because I'm not sure when, or if ever I would have been exposed to your music. The feeling I had when I gave it that first listen, reminded me so much of the first time I heard the Clash way back in the early 80's. Oh the chills I had! It was nothing I'd ever heard before! I was late to that party and had to catch up. Teenager, living in rural south...I was late to many musical parties. This one, I feel like I may have arrived to right on time. After watching Hi Ren, which, honestly, I'm still not sure why popped up on my KZbin feed, I felt like I had just had a conversation with myself. I have an autoimmune disease that affects my cognition in negative ways, causing all sorts of horrible thoughts that have always been there, but have always been quiet, to become very, very loud. I was moved to tears and watched over and over. I shared it with everyone I know, explaining "This is what goes on in my brain on a daily basis. This is what I've been trying to explain but never could." And I sent it to all my musician friends because you're brilliant. I've caught up on a good bit of your catalog and have loved it. This release is also incredible and I'll have to give it quite a few more listens to take it all in. I can't wait to hear what else you have in store for us. I can't wait to hear you sing more because I really dig your singing voice. It's beautiful. Thank you. Love from North Carolina, USA. Good luck in Canada! 💜

I'm just another musician/actor/performer that was led to this kind of career because singing was a conduit to let out or skim a little bit off of the trippy top of the surface of some of the pain i have lived with all my life. emotional leading to physical leading to all the things i took inside to keep hiding what was inside. I have never seen or met an artist that is doing what you are doing. Please keep doing it. In setting yourself free you are helping liberate others. yours is a sirens call.

[@frostfang1]

Yea I'm gonna be 33 soon and was on medications from about 14 to 19 and going to therapy that time. Got off of them at 19 when I realized no one was forcing me to do it anymore and it wasn't making a difference. I wanted to do it for me, not to "do the homework" for a therapist so I didn't feel guilty I was wasting their time when other people wouldn't be. It felt like it was forcing things, that I had to meet expectations by a certain time as a teenager. I was treated both too much like a child, and yet too much like an adult at times. They didn't give me enough credit for my intuition and intelligence, but expected me to have a way higher emotional and social intelligence than I had, especially considering I was in therapy at 14. And yea sick n tired of being sick n tired of the world. Am I really the sick one? " It's no measure of well being to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society." Why am I derailing my education even more than I was because my pills need changing up, or the system is shifting and now I don't have access to my uppers and I am expected to just stay on the downers on their own? Wtf? I can't even clue in on my own extreme emotions as they are, and now you are asking me to notice and manage the more extreme effects of medication and side effects? I was a teenager who barely hit puberty yet. Of course I haven't figured it out. I didn't have someone teaching me how to manage extreme emotions before that, let alone during and after! So now I always feel ten years behind. So yes the duality of understanding their trying to help within the limits of what they have, but also the burning anger and frustration when you know it's not helping, that it's reductive, you aren't healing, you aren't progressing. They aren't trying, they are just sticking to the books and going through the motions. And oh gawds somehow worse when you get a good therapist, and you see it in them too. That it kills them you have to stop connecting and improving for a moment to play at art therapy. Fucking patronizing. Is this kindergarten? WHAT COLOR IS RAGE?! WHAT COLOR IS RAGE!!! IM SORRY CAN I PAUSE THERAPY FOR A MOMENT TO TALK ABOUT COLOR THEORY AND IDFK INDOCTRINATION OF "EVIL COLORS" IN DISNEY MOVIES THAT GET ASSOCIATED WITH NEGATIVE EMOTIONS? No? No...well I'm just gonna feel weirdly hurt and like they think I'm a child and don't respect my art the one thing that's mine and I value. I'm also gonna later be frustrated all I could say was "can I choose two colors instead?" And not talk about color theory. That shit will stay with me. Luckily I have the pottery he made as well.
