No, they didn't want to see you cry. They wanted you to experience the genius storyteller and performer at work. He is such a gem! 💙

we are watching for how people react to Ren and it never gets old :)

We Renegades are just emotional vampires, this is what we are here for 🤣

Am placing another vote for your Ren video to be "chalk outlines (live)". It will be a great gateway introduction to Chinchilla who will, hopefully, be another rabbithole to explore. If you're feeling a bit curious and want to investigate her solo stuff, I recommend "1:5 (live)" and "Little Girl Gone "

Everyone should take the time to listen to at least one of Liya's songs! Troubles tells his life story. Chalk Outlines gives an idea of his vocal talents, but mostly showcases the excellent chemistry he has in a duet setting The Hunger highlights all of his technical rapping abilities And Blind Eye has a bit of all of the above.

He also wrote another great 3 part story called 'Money Game'. He won a bunch of awards for the 3rd part of the story. I'd recommend watching them in order.

"Me not realizing how much worse it gets" lol

Talking about Ren to make a movie. I think his money game part 3 it's almost a movie. he has won multiple awards with that video.

Ren (back on 74/message in a bottle) retake. Ren's voice will melt you like butter along with his 2 beautiful back up singers, he is a beast on his Fender Telecaster and he is pure stud. This one was done only about 6 months ago. He is yummy. 😊

Money game 1 2 and 3 are great.

Its amazing what this man can do with an acoustic guitar, a camera and a story. No giant special effects budget, just talent.

We have already shed our tears. I think we like knowing we aren’t the only ones.

I LOVE that you commented on the "WHERRRRE did he go?" You're only the second reactor I've seen catch that. It really is an underappreciated part of this whole trilogy / work of art.

Hi Liya, I really am enjoying your thoughtful reactions, your insight and knowledge are great, and you may now be my favourite music reactor. I am looking forward to seeing your reaction's to Ren's more mainstream music and covers 'Ren - Back on 74 / Message In A Bottle' or 'Ren X Chinchilla - Chalk Outlines (live)'. But I will be here whatever you decide to react to.

Great reaction; between the rawness and the splendid narration, Ren makes one of his masterpieces. While it envelops us in a Shakespearian trilogy, it hypnotizes us at the same time. The terrible cycle of violence. Ren also gives us small clues between great metaphors: Jenny, silent and her silent mother; Screech, we imagine her father in jail and her mother dead. Surely he was in foster homes and then wandering the streets. Brothers are born next to each other, brothers die next to each other. Magnificent reaction, you have managed to capture, not only Ren's abilities, but the story itself. Congratulations!

His Love Music series is Alot of Fun!!! 😊

Okay, I’m obsessed with watching you watch Ren, absolutely and officially.

Great reaction. Don't worry about pausing. If someone wants to watch the video uninterrupted, they can go to the original. I have to say, after your emotional reaction to Jenny and Screech, I really wanted to warn you about Violet's Tale. Of the three, it's the one that hits me the hardest, maybe because I've known women who were abused

Hi again Liya, We Renegades call this Rencore, just like the Bards of old, they told stories that were the news of the time, an awakening for the public. The rabbit hole of Ren runs deep and wide, and his abilities are like a flowing stream. Keep up the good work on your own talents, you have a beautiful voice.

Love watching people discover Ren's brilliance. You've just scratched the surface. Can't wait to watch your journey.

Ren got the idea for Jenny tale from a news paper he read about a 14 year old boy that kill a streetwalker with a knife

Great reaction Liya! Girl, you need a break. Check out Ren's Back on 74 video next, I think you'll really enjoy the groove!

I think that people wanted you to react to this because it is, as you know, a masterpiece, not because of the traumatic content. You are perceptive enough to pick up many of the gems contained in this trilogy. I am not usually a fan of pausing but you always have interesting details to share. Oh God I envy you as you have so much more Ren to discover. Now, I am going to watch your "Hi Ren" reaction. Thank you Liya. I enjoyed watching this reaction. If you want to see the lighter sider of Ren try some of his rapping like "Murderer" or "Losing It".

Loved your reaction. No, we really don't want to see you cry but if you do, we'll relate because every one of us did the felt the same thing. Ren posted yesterday asking if it was time for another tale. I think we all yelled a resounding YES! simultaneously. 🥰 Keep journeying down the rabbit hole. There are so many other amazing aspects of Ren's talent for you to discover.

Cant think of an artist as versatile as ren, wait till you hear him really rap he is up their with the best of them not to mention his band the big push, when he collaborates he brings the best out of people around him and morphs to fit in every pocket, i haven't heard anything yet that didnt drop my jaw.... in the last year he has become my all time favorite artist. ❤

I'm 56 and this blew me away. Tears and emotions hit in droves. All one takes and Samuel Flavey filming is so good with no money at all. The neighbours shouting at first they had to take some retakes. Seen so many reactions now but always good to see people blown away. Ren did some videos to begin with and Screech stole his phone. Then uploaded to KZfaq lol. It nearly backfired as friends blocked Ren and subscribers to. KZfaq were going to shut him down 🤣 Something good next. Chalk Outlines with Chinchilla. Losing It the Fisher retake for flows 😁👍 Great reaction ❤️🙏

I wrote in the Hi Ren comments section that your reaction Impressed me and I enjoyed your music as well. Well I had to comeback this time to say WOW! I'm a retired actor and I adore Ren because he's so versatile and everything he touches is fresh and artistic, merging and bending genre's. It's a rewarding rabbit hole and the way your feeling after experiencing & appreciating Ren's work, is allowing me to re-experience that through your gorgeous eye's. So thank you luv! ❤ P.S - Wait until you get to Money Game 3, 🤯Ren just won 🏆Best Music Video, 🏆Best Director, 🏆Best Concept at the 2024 London Music Video Awards.😉

One Ren layer down... suggest him singing next! Like: Back on 74/Message in a Bottle, Fred Again Mashup, I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop, Englishman in New York, or Mansworld at least! 😊

Try this one for an additional view of Rens amazing assortment of talent. Ren and The Big Push - I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop. It's a FUN street performance with his old band.

You want to see his videographer you should watch "Power", I find that tune fun and uplifting. Movie vibe, "Animal Flow" filmed as a single shot video with his friends in a friends apartment building, it's like Rens re-imagining of George Orwells Animal Farm. A strong Live callab would be "How to be Me" one of my faves which he did with Chinchilla, another independent great singer. They also did 'Chalk Outlines Live but how to be i believe is there strongest one. There is just so much to choose from. You do know his last album "Sic Bio" hit number one in the U.K. charts and had never been played on the radio. Then there is the Money Game series 1, 2, 3. Money Game 3 Just won best video in Europe that was also done live and one take. His Pen game is very strong, he makes his own beats, writes his own music, plays guitar, bass, and piano. Let alone before he had to go to Canada last year for treatment the band he was in The Big Push were a well known busking band in Brighton, England. You have a lot to choose from so good luck and looking forward to your reactions to his material.

As a person who worked in the music industry for a majority of my life at record stores, putting up promotional displays for various outlets and working for music product distribution companies, I appreciate your perspective on the genius of Ren's artistry. I wish you nothing but the best on your journey through your endevours of your music career.

I will say it a 1000 times Ren is a true musical Genius...thanks great reaction appreciate you👍

Ren refers to his music as 'Bardcore'. I can picture him as a medieval type of bard with a guitar strapped over his shoulder traveling from tavern to tavern. It's fitting that that he wrote this modern Shakespearian style tragedy.

Great reaction! i don't know if you take suggestions here but i would recommend: ren - back on 74 / message in a bottle. its one of his more recent videos and showcases how talented musically he is and its a more uplifting song.

His attention detail is amazing, the rift he plays symbolising reversing time he plays forwards after Violets assault to bring it back to the present.

More Ren! The Money Game parts 1, 2, and 3 are their own masterpieces. His 'new' album Sick Boi has some less heavy music, like 'Uninvited' and 'Down with the Beat'.

If (or when) you decide to check out Money Game, please consider doing the full trilogy: Money Game 1, 2 and 3. Back to back, maybe? (And please note that Money Game 2 is titled "official lyric video") Thank you for the wonderful reactions! ❤

We recommend because it is a perfect showcase for Bardcore... and we were sure your thoughtfulness would let you understand the dynamic in the end. I have heard so many therapists watch this and comment on the sadness and hopelessness in regard to the main characters... but never the same understanding for what the abusers probably experienced themselves to turn them into abusers. If our main characters had survived...statistics show they would have continued the cycle. This is meant to illustrate generational dysfunction in all its tragedy and horror.

Great Reaction I think Chalk Outlines (Live) with Chinchulla is a perfect follow up to these. Ren has so many songs both by himself in duets and with his previous band The Big Push evry song is different every Genre is covered from Reggae to Blues to Rap to Doo wap ect....

Loving your channel and your reaction style and appreciation of this almighty talent. Back on 74 shows Ren's soul, Chalk Outlines LIVE is stunning and I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop ( Red Braces version ) with his band The Big Push is a different level.

Thank you 😁 Anything Ren does is worth reacting to. Expect the unexpected.

Great reaction 👍 Stick with Ren & your jaw will drop time and again as you start to realise he's a feckin GENIUS Looking forward to your next one 👍😀

Hi Liya - So pleased you reacted to this one next. A great reaction btw.... you combine your natural empathy with your musical observations perfectly. I used to work for Social Services in London for a charity... and sadly this trilogy reflects societal issues in many places around the world.... including London. FYI - Ren has been performing on the streets of Brighton and there are so many videos that recorded him doing this. As a solo artist and also in duets and also with a band. You should check some of them out. There are so many to choose from. Some of his duets with Liv are wonderful. But I first recommend something he performed with the band "The Big Push" (they do covers as well as originals). If you have the time of course.... A really interesting one, is the cover of the Bob Marley track "I shot The Sheriff", recorded live and available on "The Big Push" KZfaq channel. Thanks again for your awesome reactions. PS. I have good friends in South Africa who do reactions during live streams. Would it be ok to react to one of your own songs (or covers) please? If so, which one would you recommend? (FYI... most of the viewers are rock fans lol)

Were just addicts. we cant see ren for the first time again, so we have to do it vicariously. So thanks for watching it so we can go along with you on your first time journey. As for reactions and future videos, Rens kind of like the weather, if you dont like it just wait and itll change. Hes a phenomenal story teller, artist, rapper etc so pick your flavor he has something of all types.

Great reaction video. I will throw in my two cents and say that "Chalk Outlines" and "How to be Me" -- both collabs with Chinchilla -- are spectacular. I can't wait to see you react to them.

great reaction Liya, its nice to see someone actually pick up on so much and be thoughtful and appreciate what your watching rather than say what you think you should say. you are in for such a great time. He had a band before he went to Canada called 'The Big Push', he's done some great collabs with Chinchilla which you should check out. and also Money Game 1 (official video), Money Game 2 ( LYRIC VIDEO) and then Money Game Part 3. Just know whatever you choose we will watch with you and you wont be disappointed.

Awesome reaction, prefect pauses and analysis without interrupting the flow of the story and your display of emotions throughout till the end, priceless; great job! Ren is truly one of a kind.

A really important song, dominoes. A Ren song with a deeper meaning. (as many others)

Your reactions are spot on!! And you are right about Ren's ability to act and tell a story. Ren is great at rapping. Great at singing. Great at creating music! But if I had to pick what he is best at it's his story telling and acting, and those two things help him in all his songs and performances

I think he said something about wanting to make some series... His acting and storytelling are great :) Lets hope and see. Loved the reaction btw :) As someone already mentioned... Money game part1, 2 and 3 should be interesting for you to watch/listen next :)

His songs are powerful on multiple levels so seeing the reactions from individuals like you make the song come alive for us all each time, AND you get further exposed to Ren's masterfully written and performed ONE TAKE videos and songs. Good job!!

Really enjoyed this reaction as well. Great combination of your musical knowledge with your own personal insight.

One of the best J&S reactions I've seen and I've seen most of them! Don't worry. Ren has a bunch of fun/silly songs as well. (Ren has a bunch of everything songs.)

It's so fun to see people reacting to this. In the beginning they are all happy and cheerful, and then they just keep getting more serious. :D Also love the "sound design" on Violets Tale, so well done.

I've watched Jenny and screech about 300 times... and it still makes my eyeballs water every single time I watch it!! Love your reactions by the way 🙂🙌

Appreciate your reaction to this song. This is a VERY SAD tale; But, what I LOVE the MOST about "The Tale of Jenny and Screech" is that in the end it points out that Jenny and Screech were siblings. This gave me insight into Ren's compassion for humanity and the recognition of how wrong violence is. It should not be this way. We all brothers and sisters. We are divine spiritual beings in mortal bodies. We should treat each other as such. Jenny and Screech grew up in the foster system so that they didn't know they were siblings. But, if were taught like we should be taught that we are ALL BROTHER and SISTERS! That is the way we should ALL treat each other! This is what I like about this song. Hopefully, one day we will all know this. "Every so often there comes an artist that says things on a certain level that just resonates." Like Oliver Anthony? (I admit that Ren is OA x100 in a good way. OA did six months of suffering compared to at least six years of hellacious suffering for Ren. They both are prophets, in my opinion. But, I started on the OA rabbit hole before Ren. I love them, both.) Can't wait for your reaction to Ren's video, "Eden". Just curious on your take. Have a nice day!

I’d love to see your reaction to Chalk Outlines, Money Game part 3, and two of his busking videos: 1) Earned it/Man’s World/Falling w/ Sam, and 2) the I Shot the Sheriff mashup w/ his band, the Big Push (pick the red-spenders one). I’m pretty sure you will freak at the vocals in the Earned It mash-up and in Chalk Outlines, cause remember, these ones are all live one-takes. He’s incredible, particularly having gone through what he has! Enjoyed the reactions 👍💜

Check out Chalk Outlines with Ren x Chinchilla “Live” Ren considers Chinchilla his musical sibling. Great reaction, so glad you got the plot twist at the end. 😊

Say thousand times wow and beeing speechless is the very right reaction to this piece. Heard it hundred times now and still feel the same every time.

Renegades seeing someone smile at the start of The Tales: "Grab some popcorn and place your bets on when this naive soul breaks down!"

Danke! I just like reactions from other musicians, i often learn somthing

Fantastic reaction I think Chalk outlines live with Chinchilla next then maybe some big push his band who he busks with for something lighter .

Enjoying your reactions! You need to check out money game 3 also

Loved your reaction!! Heads up for the other songs he sings that pull out emotions by Ren are "how to be me" and "chalk outlines" with Chinchilla(live versions are best). Also "For Joe" and Suicide.

hello dear!! speaking for myself, this is my fav ren vid to see reactions to. i'm old af, jaded, and i love to see tender hearts breaking from ren's talent, as i quietly giggle, cuz i know what's to come!!!! i know it's twisted of me, but there's a bunch of us out here doing the same thing. at 72 yo, i'll get my grins and giggles where i find them. ren rocks my world, just sayin'!!! kathleen 🙃

Just found your channel and am really enjoying your music too! Remember Ren has some really upbeat irreverent songs too in addition to his deep ones and amazing rapping and singing across the whole range. He will make you laugh, blush, cry, and think.

Such a wonderful reaction. You might as well and admit you are a renegade like us lol "one of us, one of us" lol

You are on a whole journey now that youve entered the world of ren, haha. If you wanna cry then watch Chalk Outlines or For Joe. I also wanna point out that in Jenny's tale, "her intuitions bugging her and making her so scared', its said twins can sometimes share intuition so its like she knew screech was around and up to no good. Great vid!

Great reaction!! We all went through that meat grinder last year. Next: Ren & the band he was a member of…The Big Push Band. This is a busking session, it’s a mashup of Bob Marley’s, “I Shot The Sheriff”, Damian Marley’s, “ Road To Zion”, DJ Luck/MC Neat’s, “Little Bit of Luck” and Dead Prez’s, “Hip Hop”. Here, Ren is wearing RED suspenders. It’s a classic!! Thank you!

Liked, subscribed. Your in for a journey down the Ren rabbit hole. MG 1,2,3, GENISIS and how to be me 👌 back on 74 also. So many.....

Welcome to the Ren rollercoaster! He's such a diverse and talented artist. The Money Game series is fantastic. Genesis is one of my favorites. The Hunger shows off a bit of his rap side. Ren X Chinchilla - Chalk Outlines (live version) is a must watch. Ren busking with his old band The Big Push - I Shot the Sherriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop is amazing. The rabbit trail is deep! Fantastic reactions on your end. Keep them real and honest and you'll gain plenty of Subscribers!

Amazing Reaction!!.. Money Game trilogy next please :D

Hi Again LIYA..You're emotional reaction says it all. The twist at the end gets everyone, and has left many a poor boy and poor girl speechless. Bravo for getting through it, because the way he portrays and acts out each character, the narrator and different visual perspectives simultaneously grabs you and holds your soul to the fire until the end..even peeking through terrified fingers. As many have said here in the comments, Ren has so many sides to his music, and if/when you choose to watch/listen or share we will all be here for it. Musically, "Back on 74" is a vibe and his raps and beats will have you bouncing along with "Losing it" and "murderer"...I can't wait for you to hear Chinchilla collabs because you will appreciate her voice and self promotion as an independent artist yourself. "Chalk outlines" and "How To Be Me" are two with Ren and Chinchilla that are kind of heavy too, but remarkably beautiful. I could list them all but you will find all the nuggets if you choose. Have fun....we definitely are, tuning into your reactions! Sending positive vibes and peaceful energy your way.✌🏼

You have turned the key, opened the door, and stepped through into the wonderful world of Ren. There is so much here for you. Some pieces will hurt - you know that already, but there is joy and laughter too. Keep Reacting!

yay another Renreaction from Liya. Bed can wait i guess xD Well, hope you didn't get nightmares from that one 😳So know you experienced his own Musicstyle Bardcore. There is soooo much beautiful poetry in this dark piece of art. For a change to a bit more light i'd suggest Backto 74/Message in a bottle. Talking Movies: it could be (i'm not up to date on this) that he and Sam (Videographer of, but not exclusive, this one) have a thing with Netflix running :D PS. you'll be blown away to the next room watching Money Game 3 (begin with Money Game 1 though).

You're well started down the rabbit hole now :-). take your time with his works, well worth it. I'd like to point out his collabs, who are all incredible too. check out chalk outlines with Ren and Chinchilla and find another great artist. That song is amazing...

Great reaction Liya your doing a great job 👏 Ren has the ability to make you cry but also laugh in some of his other music has I'm sure you will experience ❤

Well I'm here to watch you fall into Rens rabbit hole. I Started nearly 2 years ago, so its deep, very deep and his own life story is intriguing to say the least. Ren is Raw and uncut but beautiful at the same time. A true artist's artist. Loved your Ren reactions so far, so buckle up for this emotional roller coaster😂😢😮 ❤ from D in the UK 🇬🇧

Your first reaction was fire. Second reaction? Even better! Money Game Part 3 would be a great next one but really with Ren you can't go wrong with whatever you choose!

Welcome fellow RENegade. I'm so happy you found Ren. Money Game Part 3 is a must. 👍🏼

Well done Ms.LIYA. More Ren please. He does many different genres of music, most not so dark as this. I suggest Money Game 1,2,3, Back on 74, Ren x Chinchilla. If you like rap ...anyway I see other commenters saying the same. Great reaction. Looking forward to more. Luv ya.👍

if you was wondering what the sound was at start of Jenny tale that was Ren beatboxing trumpet

Great reaction. Never gets old watching reactions to Tales ❤

It's always captivating watching someone watch Ren's work and feel the emotion of it. I'm sure you'll watch much more of his work and the people he collaborates with. The Big Push, Chinchilla ,Sam Tomkins and Eden Nash to name a few. There will be many suggestions. One of my favs is Penitence a piece of work he did with Molly McKinna please take a look.

❤ another great Ren reaction. Thank you! ❤ I'm not going to pile on with suggestions, Ren's catalog is varied and deep. Keep them coming!

Suic*de by Ren is another emotional roller coaster. Especially if you read Rens story in the comments beforehand.

Hi Liya Ren often posts the lyrics in the comments of his post. Can see your very impressed with Ren he has so much more enjoy discovering more he will make you laugh and cry and think deeply. 💥✌️♥️ New subscriber from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿.

Your reaction to the plot-twist, and especially "the woman was too stunned to speak," was perfect. PS I always cry at the end, too.

Love your reaction! If you loved his writing and rhyme schemes, you should do Genesis and The Hunger. You'll love them! 🤘🏼🎶

So happy to see another young artist connect with Ren....aside from his pertinent messages..Ren's talent and creativity certainly can no doubt serve as fine inspiration for others who are likewise working to share their perspectives with the world.....At the same time!!! your obvious vocal intelligence has me eagerly looking forward to meeting Ren's acknowledged musical sibling, Chinchilla!.... His live collaborations with her on "Chalk Outlines" "How To Be Me" ...and the live busking performances of "Sexual Healing" and the "One Dance/Drunk In Love" mashup are not to be missed......but I truly would like you to check out Chinchilla's solo performance on the "Fingers" live for Hunger-TV video.....really curious to see what you think about this very theatrical and memorable offering.... Thanks again for the honest and perceptive reactions and...btw...have thoroughly enjoyed the couple of your videos I have thus far checked out!!!! Keep having fun...will be watching more and looking forward to your future work!!!!!

KEEP THEM COMING!!!

I love that not only to you bear your soul to us through your reactions but you watch his ads too? You are a good person, we all see it. We love it!

MORE REN REACTS PLS 🙏 This is the best/realest reaction ever ❤ Recommend his whole catalogue. I would love to watch you pick ANYTHING of his at random and react 🙏💯🔥

This guy is awesome. Found him a year ago and I watch every reaction video because I love to see their first time reaction. Assuming you are on the Ren Train, and depending on yoru mood, he is a DIVERSE artist. You want Rap? Watch "The Hunger". You want another Bard Chord masterpiece, Watch Money Game 3. You want the follow-on story of HI Red? Watch Sick Boi. Finally, If you want to see the love he has of friends and family, Watch "Suicide", followed by "Joe". EVERY ONE of these is fantastic. Then for a good upbeat Hip hop song, I can only recommend "Power". He is phenomenal. :)

you should also do Ren Money game 1 2 3

Your reactions are great! Enjoy the ride that is REN - he does every genre and does them all better than most. He is a modern Shakespeare. That said, your songs are great too!

The look on your face was priceless! I love watching real reactions, and yours was real. Great reaction young lady 👍. I'm subscribed.

Thanks for putting my comment up made my day x , I knew youd like that , Rens a modern day bard . and this is his masterpiece .

Liya, your reaction is perfect I'm looking forward to the next... one of my favourites is Humble ft Eden Nash and power......hold on....... love music 1,2,3,4 ,I think 3 is my favourite so difficult to choose though anyhoo hope you have a fantastic day/night/evening ✌️

Great reaction, you have a big heart.
