You say he's been writing about the same things, but a disease that took everything from him for a 10+ year period of his life (and still affecting him) is going to be something definitive in his life. He talks about multiple subjects in other songs: - Hi Ren (Battle of internal dialogue) Sick Boi (The medical industry) Money Game (Politics, Big Industry, Personal responsibility) Tale of Jenny and Screech (Circularity of domestic violence) Bittersweet Symphony (A commentary on modern Britain) Suicide (About the loss of his best friend) Halftime (A tribute to Nas) This song isn't just a re-hash - it's coming full circle - the whole story and the message of hope for those suffering.

May is mental health awareness month, so he put this one out to let people who struggle know they aren't alone #hope

Ren said to his ME/Chronic disease community (blogs/vlogs online) from years ago, that if he ever crawled out of this sickness and got a platform he would fight for them (the voiceless). He is doing what he promised. Also the Doctor that gave him the free $25,000 Stem Cell transfusion asked Ren to document his progress. So Ren just kept his promise there as well and is spreading the news. He did an in-depth story on it during his videos called "Chapter 1-8". He did them for the release of " Troubles". Thanks for the reaction and keeping it real, whether I agree or not.

Read his chapters. It is all real! This guy is amazing and is a beacon for humanity!

This was filmed in Calgary, Canada. He’s been in Canada for the last 18 months or so getting treatment.

Ren is a multi instrumentalist He can perform, & sing many genre's soul, blues, regge, rap all to a high standard. Writes directs and produces all his music, and vids, Here's a few fun Ren songs, "Loosing It" Fisher Rap retake. What you want. Also when Ren was with the Big Push. I shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop. The red braces version. Back on 74/ Message in a Bottle retake. And the piano instrumental Called "Makay" dedicated to his friend who died in an accident. And his duets with chinchilla.

Yeah this song marks the end of the Sick Boi era. He’ll be writing songs just for you from now on. Songs about Love, cars, sports, money etc. Can’t wait - not enough of them about….

This is the thing where I get what you were saying. Though if I may shed some light here, Ren has been battling his medical issues for the past 13 years and only within the last two years has been able to take on this level of Music Writing, Production, Directing, etc. So of course his main thrust for the past 2-3 years has been centric around his messaging. Keep in mind this man tons of music out there in many different genres, a lot of which isn't about his struggles. Some are retakes, some with his band "The Big Push", many with collabs with various other artists. "Troubles" is his entire story encapsulated in one track, which he had told in a spoken word series called "Missing", an eight chapter video series he dropped before "Troubles". Trust, Ren has a vast catalogue and cover many other topics.

I wouldnt be so worried about comments if i were you. They help you whether good ir not. Many of the songs Ren wrote were at the time he was going through his suffering from his illness and the aftermath and PTSD from that. Lyricists write about their experiences. Its unusual to have an artist that spent 8 years in torment without a day without pain watching his 20s go by. However, he does have other passions that he writes about. You just havent heard those yet. Ren has spoken about closing this chapter of his life and putting out music that reflects the present. For something different, check out his mirr recent Back in 74/Message in a Bottle retake which is more focused on his singing and playing,with a bit if hip hop in the middle

Appreciate ur reaction to our sick boi my friend xx he is still in canada for treatment where he is hooked up to IV bags 5 days a week. When he's got time he and his boys go scouting around canada for good locations to shoot his music videos. U should check out his Back on 74 /Message in a Bottle Retake.

Ren is great, and I believe you are too. The most important thing, is it gets all to speak. And we all should.

Some people don't like it when people repeat their experiences that they've gone through. But those people need to remember you are lucky you didn't go through the shit they went through. And start moaning about it. And they say I want something different. But Ren has the right to say the same story as long as he likes. Respect.

Ren even said it himself. It means more to him to bring awareness and that's what hes gonna do. He said he promised himself when he was younger. That being said, no he has all types of subjects he touches on. I can see how a casual listener would get that vibe though.

good reaction, real. I think this subject is not enough in songs compared to breakups, falling in love, or with literally no meaning, etc. But I can understand that it's not what you like. Maybe try is Big push band, or What you want, or his retake Back to 74, etc. They are also great and entertaining.

He's got lots of different tracks about many different topics or just goofing around. People just suggest the same shit. So I can't blame you for that. Edit: Suggestion, if you're interested: check out "Ren- What You Want" it's a lighthearted Beastie Boys throwback you might like.

Thank you mate, for a great reaction!

If you spent 10 years suffering, you would want to talk about it as well. Many have empathy for him, on top of that he is an amazing talent, and he has great empathy for others. He is an all around great human. I have none of these issues, but I watch and appreciate all of his songs for what they are. By the way, he has MANY songs that are not about this subject at all, check them out, FIRE!

I appreciate your attempts at being genuine which I think you're successful in doing. It feels jarring though for you to always bring up how honest you are and how the audience should understand this. I'd rather you just be honest and accept whatever comments you get from the audience without having to preempt what they're going to say and to also preemptively virtue signal about how especially honest you are

Ren is the best

Check out Ren - (back on 74 / message in a bottle) remake. He sings harmonies with female back -up singers, his singing is top notch. He plays his guitar of course.

Try listening to other tracks. The money game trilogy, tales of Jenny, Screetch, Violet, love music, his performances with the band The Big Push. There is NOT a dozen tracks about his illness. The fault is yours in your choices. To be honest you were boring by repeating how bored you are!

Thank you 🖤 Tre07 🤍 for your 🐷 Ren - Troubles reaction! #ren #verahall #troublesohard #troubles #slaughterhouse #calgary

There is a healthy trend in professionalism and also in art, that you should profess, refer and talk about the things you actually know about, that you have encountered first-hand, and that are currently affecting you, or have affected you, that you are dealing with. I am personally very glad, artists like Ren, Chinchilla, Sam Tompkins, Knox Hill, Black Pegasus and more are on that track. Ren's life basically was illness and being told to go away for being a nuisance to the medical profession. Ren is actually healed from borelliosis/borelliose/Lyme disease. But suffering is far from over now: he is still suffering from what's called Post Lyme, and probably will for most if not all his life. His ailments are numerous, the effects of M.E. are still there (but no longer nearly every day, more like every 5th day or so), MCAS is still going strong, and there are a number of other autoimmunities still going, limiting his diet to "about 5 things" as he keeps saying. Bodily and mental "tick"s as described in his "Missing: Chapter 1" don't seem to want to go away either. You can see his leg muscles twitching whenever he tries to stand or sit still in his videos and interviews. In Ren's case, the doctor was successful. And he was in many cases. But wasn't in all cases. He got sued, and lost his assets in the U.S. (but was able to keep going in Germany, where Ren was able to run a second course of treatments, see Chapter 8 above).

I understand what you are trying to convey but I don't think Ren uses his illness in every song. His catalogue is pretty diverse/eclectic if we're being fair to him. I think what we do need to try and understand is that his condition and many other are treated as less important. Why is that ? If you've spent 7 years in bed I think he should be cut some slack. He now has the platform to raise awareness and maybe bring some change within the medical field Last thing. I know you're trying to funny but comparing Swifts boyfriend troubles to a guy that couldn't walk or go outside and even coming close to dying.........c'mon man

I have quite a few criticisms of the reaction community, especially in the last year, what's sad is, when someone like you, who I think should have way more subs, has to walk on eggshells through a reaction simply for keeping it real and being honest with your viewers, fearing people will be butt hurt. I hope you realize that's a compliment, there's so many reactors out there that never STFU about how "they keep it realz" yet very few that actually do. You can't be a die hard listener to every artist out there, there's just not enough time in the day, and to the casual Ren listener, there's no doubt he's got a lotta songs where he talks about his struggles with his mental and physical health. He says himself it's therapeutic for him and until it stops being so, he'll continue to make music like that, but he also stated that he understands if that's not everyone's cup of tea. I feel the same way about NF, he's got some bangers that I absolutely love, but if I'm being honest, his entire catalog, as a whole, is a little bit to dreary and sad for my taste, but I still respect him as an artist, and all his fans that find solace in that type of music. Ren released his whole illness story, in detail, via spoken word, he read it out loud, a chapter a day for 8 days leading up to dropping this track. I think it's something he's been wanted to do for a while to finally get some closure on all of it, and move on to other music, that's not to say he still won't occasionally still drop a track about it, but I think you'll see a little less now, of that subject matter. There's no need to react to them, not many reactors have, cause there's not much commentary to really add, but I would highly recommend checking them out, even if one doesn't like his music, it's a moving story. A brutal and tragic story, but also beautiful, full of perseverance and hope, definitely not for the faint of heart though, one things for sure, it'll make most peoples life struggles pale in comparison. All 8 of them are on his 2nd channel... www.youtube.com/@RenMakesStuff I think you'd really enjoy them. I know I've babbled enough, so I'll reply to my own comment and leave some songs Ren has put out that have nothing to do with his health issues, and are just bangers on their own. I've been a sub long enough that I think I can tell what kind of tracks tickle your fancy..lol. Take care, again great reaction, never apologize for keeping it real. ✌💚

Same song over and over again, ok. Yes, this was his story, but did you hear the "ending this story now, ending this story now, ending this story now" through a talkbox (?) effect in the end? To me it sounds like he's about to move on, make music from other stuff next. I don't know.

When you started in that he is a one subject performer, i thought, Oh maaaan, the fans will eat him alive😂 Then i got a little wound up myself because blanket statements like "every song is the same" are irritating lol Newsflash, the album was called Sick Boi, yet even on that album, there were songs that were not about his illness. Even if it IS about his illness, he mixes up the beats every time. His illness covers more than 10 years of his 34 year old life. He was left feeling insane & alone & he wants to assure others aren't out there feeling that way. I think it's inspiring. (You were redeemed at the end btw, big time, lol) I respect your opinion, of course, but you should either explore his other works if you like him, or walk away.... if you feel he is redundant, your commentary will be redundant as well✌️

I'd say you generally lack proper empathy. I'm speculating, but since you don't connect with the message, you have no experience in that realm. Mind you, I've also been relatively lucky with my health. Conversely, however, I empathize and admire what Ren's using his modest platform to do, which is work to bring change to a broken system. It's why i respect the hell out of him. Taylor Swift? There's no part of that name that belongs in the same sentence. If even a QUARTER of MOST of these famous people took on the things Ren did, the world just MAY be a brighter place. It's funny that I've never heard ganster rappers be asked to rap about something other than violence, or... i could go on. Nonetheless, these songs are the man's experiences, and his story. Most likely it lays in a place that makes people uncomfortable, consciously or sub. But these subjects are like shining a light on the shadows, and for a person like me who hasn't gone through it, the duty to listen. Important work in my view, and something to aspire toward. One's trying to change the world, others are simply trying to further pad their pockets. In that context I wouldn't care if he's rapping about paint drying over and over again. But that's just my 2 cents, anyway.

Your thinking of Sting - Fields of gold.

It's very weird that you are okay with artists singing about the same situations over and over again as long as those multiple moments were fleeting parts of their life, but can't handle somebody writing multiple things about the one thing that has been central to their life for nearly half their life. The way I see it, every good artist writes about what they experience and what they know about. And they pretty much all have one or two concepts they return to frequently. The fact that the girl's name changes doesn't change the story.

Can't like them all i guess! Hope you continue down the ren rabbithole 🐇🕳

Such a stupid reaction. Comparing Taylor Swift with what Ren went through? Wow.. Also,hes from Wales,but currently in Calgary . Thats in Canada.
