I discovered Ren around the same time as everyone else (Hi Ren release), and haven't been able to stop listening to him, his collabs, and his band The Big Push. I'm obsessed.

In 15 years I'll bet money most people will not remember the title or any lyric from Drake, Adele, Sheeran, Beyonce, Timberlake. But in 20 years I'll bet people will remember where they were, who they were with the first time they heard "Hi Ren"... He is our Elivs, MJ, Queen, Prince, Beatles, combined. 2023 is Ren's, Bohemian Rhapsody, Moonwalk, 58 Comeback Special, Purple Rain, and Yesterday in 1.

Love listening to Ren and Sam busk. The addition of them breaking into their own stuff on this was just icing.

You’re completely right. Ren was born to be on stage. There’s just something about this man that demands attention. I have said similar on some reactions to the Big Push too. All members are talented but you can’t deny how important it is for their success to have such a charismatic frontman in Ren. He is special. All while being humble and building up others. He deserves all the love and recognition ❤

Mindblowing, as always with Ren. He just exudes music, and he attracts intensely talented people to collaborate with.

Dude... I hadn't seen this one yet. I've seen enough of their work to know to expect something awesome, but I'm still blown away every time.

I love the way they aren't afraid to just jam, try things, and play around despite there being a big crowd. They could pull out their guaranteed big hitters but instead they're having fun, making the music they want to make, and drawing the crowd in with their enthusiasm.

Two of the most talented musicians alive today. Sam and Ren can do absolutely any kind of music and make it sound fantastic. I cannot put into words how much I'm rooting for these guys.

Watching these two perform is so amazing. Their energy and joy are SERIOUSLY contagious. I hope you feel better. Remember to take care of yourself. Your channel isn't anything without YOU.

They are so freaking talented ❤❤

I could quite honestly watch Ren performing all day, all night and still be mesmerised, captivated, Renergised, hungry for more and even more in love than I was the hour before lol. Last time I felt even close to this was my early teens 40 years ago swooning over the heartthrob bands of the day and they didn't have an iota of the talent and presence Ren does. I almost feel sorry for him as pretty sure he's gonna get swamped with girls and women of all ages clamouring to touch him in giddy hysteria one day in the not too distant future😁😆 Would love to see Ren and Sam colabbing together again - fingers crossed You can make that happen with them both in Chicago and film every single second for all of us who can't make it there

I was very lucky to have been introduced to "The Big Push" a couple of years ago, then naturally watched the music evolve. An immense talent and they all deserve their individual successes.

I was speculating last night that if Ren tried busking in Brighton now, Brighton would be screwed. The police would be overwhelmed with the number of people turning up to watch, they'd have to shut him down.

I've seen this awhile back but didn't remember much of it, hot dang Ren! Could this be his longest/fastest flow yet? Super impressive!

I am shocked ! Again ! Ren ! and Sam ! endless joy when these 2 come close one another or to you !

He’s so amazing. If only I was 60 years younger 🤣🤣🤣. And I’m a sucker for anyone who plays the guitar. My husband was guitarist in the 60’s. Ren wishing you good health. ❤️❤️👵🏼

Just jamming... the amount of talent... off the charts 🔥🔥🔥👌 Give me a sec to pick up my jaw 🤯

Ren - Love Music 1,2&3 plz x🖤🐀🖤🐀🖤🐀

I love watching this video- two guys just loving what they do and totally wrapped up in it. Their energy pulls you along and I love it. Thanks for reviewing this 😀😀

Please do Love music 1,2 & 3!

Hey cliff! I'll give you some credit. It's been 7 days since I saw your Hi Ren react and I've must have seen 150 more since. Definitely hooked on anything Ren now.

I don't think I can pick a favorite of Sam's and Ren's collabs, but this comes real close - this can turn a bad day or a week around in under 7 minutes! If you haven't done Blind Eyed ft. angry park attendant - it's super fun!

I live along the crystal coast of North Carolina and would make the trip in a second to see Sam and Ren in concert in Chicago. Let's make it happen 1!

Sam's rap is a cover of British rapper Jme's song "Man Don't Care."

Two great talents indeed no question 👍🏿👊🏿💯

I hope Sam gets a lot of attention too now that Ren has blown up!

I hadn't heard you say that before about women driving music sales and I find that super interesting. And I will say this as a woman ... of a certain age ... lol ... while I am 100% obsessed by Ren and all things surrounding him right now, it's not in a creepy, cougar way. Yes, he and Sam are good looking young men, but their moms are probably my age or younger than me and that would just be super weird. I might need an extra session with my therapist if I was looking at them that way. 😆 If anything, some of his music just makes me want to hug Ren and fix all the things that are hurting him. However, having said that, I am completely drawn into the music because of the sheer talent. I love being surprised! And these live performances give an instant injection of energy that comes with watching people love what they do, do it well and hit you with blinding charisma all at the same time. It's an easy addiction, honestly. And one that won't make you gain weight or go to jail, so ... there's that. 😜 (And stop saying, "Even if you don't like me ..." We like you!)

So pleased you found this gem. You are only the second reactor I’ve seen react to this (and I recommended this to the first one). Would love to see them perform live in Chicago!

Second time watching this.. well, I save this for when I have down time. I hope Ren and Sam will someday come to Chicago and perform and do podcast with you, Cliff. That will be so awesome!

I live in Elmurst. Only seen 4 concerts, in my life. I'd love love love love to see them here. Yet since they are underground and low key, til explosion, Im DOWN!!! Used to live on Southport AND Addison tooo!!! We WILL out run the po-po

Ren had the police close down a road, he put the location of a busking session, when he turned up the police had closed it off as about a thousand people turned up!

Your dream of them performing in Chicago sounds fantastic! It seems like it would be great for them, too.

Loved this😍 Thank you, Cliff! 🙏❤

Just imagine if you could get the Fantastic Four--Ren, Sam, Chinchilla, and Eden Nash! Chicago would be rockin' harder than the Beatles. A second British Invasion to rival the first! Edit: You know, putting them downtown would get the people rockin', for sure. But you might have it best as a non-venue performance. Find an empty parking lot of an abandoned building or out in the parking lot of a closed down mall or something like that where the space is already big enough. Depending on how public transit is over there, I know Chicago's got the L-train, but I don't know how reliable it is. Best would be to find a location that converges along public transit--trains, busses, easily accessible for using a parking garage and walking over. Get the permits you need for live performances. Hell, if you've got any law enforcement friends, play Hi Ren, The Tales (full), and How to Be Me. Infuse the spirit of Ren into those whose help you might need. Make it all low-key. You don't need billboards or flyers to get the message of any performance out, just Instagram, TikTok, and KZfaq. The people will come. In the busking he did of The Tales, he said busking is where he's most comfortable. If you know any stage hands from local theaters, they could help build the stage for him. And the easiest way to provide concessions at an event like this is to do what y'all do best in football season and call for tailgate parties. Cash App, Venmo, PayPal, I'm sure there are others. The apps could easily be used to not only pay the tailgaters for the food they cook and serve, but you could probably also make sure there's one who has a grill set up to Ren's diet which--you'd have to check to be sure--I believe is chicken, ribs (beef or pork, I'm not sure) and like 3 vegetables, I believe he said in one of his Instagram stories, with cracked salt and cracked pepper. Others with hamburgers, hotdogs, brats, and such. The only thing you couldn't serve would be alcohol, unless the bar you've got an in at would have the ability and willingness to set up a booth of some kind. The money apps could also be used to tip Ren and his entourage the same as one would toss money into his guitar case. The other option you could do for this, too. I know Chicago, like any big city, has a population of homeless. You could encourage such a thing as a "meal for me and my friend" where a person buying food off a tailgater would pay double to amount so that if there are homeless near/attending they would have a meal already covered for them. It may not be much, but it's something. Doing things like this can also be considered a tax write off, so you might be able to get local grocers to donate food to be cooked. Even just hotdog and burger buns and some chips. May not be much, but it can go a long way. Bring busking to Chicago and make it mainstream. The only way to get the industry to change is to show them what the people actually want. All right. I'm going to stop rambling now. Loved the reaction! Okay, last edit. Planned with enough time and whatnot, and getting all of them or even just Ren to get the word out to their community about a live show in Chicago, even if it’s only for one night, I’m sure you’d have people from the UK and other countries coming over to see him perform which would have an increase for the hotel/hospitality and tourism industry in Chicago. Okay, that’s it, now I’m shutting up.

This is just incredible! Another great choice!

Cliff!!! Thank you for this one! Love me some Ren x Sam Tompkins. Appreciate you continuing to promote them, and other artists! See you on the next one 😅 - Fatboy Slim Live?

Why my woman …by the big push !

I love how much they just have fun together xx ❤ xx

If they come to Chicago, I'm so there. Not maybe. Not possibly. There.

Love Ram Jam

Magic

Ren! Chicago & Minneapolis! I know a venue in chi town and will find one in Minne! Let’s make it happen!!

I live in Evanston so kinda near Chicago. (Not really but you know it's close Lol.) I think your idea is fantastic. I've had fantasies about seeing Ren and friends come to Chicago. Great reaction 🤘🏼🎶

"Fix up look sharp " Dizzee rascal.

Great jamming session out on the streets. If you manage to get them over to Chicago, that would be a sight to see. Love ya Cliff! Will be waiting for you when you get back.

Good morning everyone

Happy Monday everyone

I'm just wondering if Chicago is even safe right now, from what I can tell their seems to be riots all over the place IDK where exactly all I know is Chicago. anyway, this is one I had not heard before, it was great and great reactions always.

So glad you reacted to this 🔥

Wow 🔥💙🔥💙🔥

Great wish list cliff !

You'e the best dude ❤😂

I can see Ren and Sam at Lollapalooza 😁

Hey man, always enjoy your reactions. You really need to see the most legendary moment in modern UK music. 60 minutes live dizzie rascal bbk etc (its a 20 minute freestyle)everyone needs to see it ❤

Don’t think it’s safe for Ren to busk in Chicago, better if you go there lol , don’t want anything happen to my boy , I was going to ask him if he wants a free body guard lol

IM 62 YEAR OLD, BRITISH and NO Music, Surprises me ..

Hey could you check out Polo G - Diaries Of A Soldier / Luh Da Raq | From The Block Performance 🎙(Chicago) I think it's a great example of showing off his melodic side and then his drill side.

Can you pleasee react to sam tompkins lose it all and die for someone ❤❤

you need to react to Sam opening for Justin Bieber

The only thing I don't like - and please understand it's amazing Sam can hit the real high head notes but when he goes real high the soul goes out of it. Until I saw this I had no clue Sam could rap. The fact Black Betty was in there.....

#like 11:51

To be honest I definitely like Ren's singing voice a lot better than Sam's. Sam uses his falsetto a little too much. He gets very pitchy with it at times to the point that it's almost annoying. I'm not hating on him. I am just voicing my opinion. Ren's voice has so many different textures to it. Great reaction ,Cliff!

Ren was rivaling Eminem`s speed there.

Sam can rap?
