I've been listening to Ren for a few years now.

He definitely knows how to hit you in the feels with his lyrics. Was glad to see Hi Ren was getting such high views cause I feel he definitely deserves to be more well known.

Money Game part 1 & 2 are also worth a listen, and I love the song Dominoes.

He's currently in Canada for some pretty intense treatment so I hope we see more songs coming soon.

Ren’s a god-damn genius, but I can only take his stuff in small doses. Two or three songs at a time.

I was introduced to him by someone recently, he's very talented, but I have a greater appreciation for his understanding of mental health and how he articulates that in his creative art, he's very cerebral and that I really appreciate

If you follow him on YouTube or FB you can probably find out where he's performing if you're interested in seeing perform live

I put it on a music thread a couple of months ago on here, it’s very thought inducing.

He is an exceptionally talented musician (rapping, singing, production, playing instruments), see some of his live stuff (busking in Brighton) with his band “the big push”

Definitely, he's very cerebral and I related to his song Hi Ren a lot regarding the battle with mental illness, that split personality between the light and dark learning to accept that it's a part of you

The fact he understood that part of living with mental illness was very moving for me. He learned to welcome his demons into his life and accept them for what they are rather than trying to fight with them

Somewhere else

I saw that video I guess a few weeks back and my jaw absolutely dropped.

Then I went and saw the rest of his work, and now he’s my new favourite artist at the moment.

That song is POWERFUL. I wanted to reach out to everyone I’d ever met who deals with illness and suffering and make sure they’d seen it too.

I was so enthralled that my now ex thought I fancied him when I wouldn’t stop watching his videos. But I’m an amateur musician and when I see that much talent in one place, I almost forget an artist even HAS a sexual self.

Check out some of his other work. I’m not even a massive hip hop fan. But yeah. He is astounding.

He's a musical genius, very left field and gritty.

The faint hearted will hate him because they don't understand his performance.

Genius is a very overused word but feel in his case it’s very genuine

Hi Ren kept coming up on my YouTube recommend and I kept ignoring it. After a few weeks I got annoyed and clicked it just to stop it coming up on my feed. 9 minutes later I was sat with tears in my eyes and applauding his skills. Not a song I would listen to in my car or out jogging, but as a whole performance its absolutely masterful.

Hits home that you're not the only one having tough times too. At the start I was wondering why he was making that silly noise, by the end I was cheering him on doing it.

It's one of those pieces of music that I am in awe of and moved by but wouldn't just put it on and listen to it like most other music. It's more of an event than casual listening, much more so than doing a Pink Floyd marathon.

A refreshingly original and thought-provoking piece of mini-theatre (not really a conventional song). It's about the struggle we face between our conscious and sub-conscious selves. The performance is emotional and atmospheric. In it, Ren appears to portray the inner self as 'dark'. But in reality, sometimes the inner voice is a force for good, a moderating influence saying "maybe that's really NOT such a good idea!".

He has a new song dropping tomorrow night, 8pm on YouTube.

From his hints and video stills it looks like something Animal Farm-esque.

we love Ren, he is very under rated but give it a while and we think he will be big.

Provided they sort his health issues out.

Poor chap.
