If you have seen this lad what stage do you think would suit him.

I think he's probably out due to a long term illness. Would have placed him on the John Peel stage otherwise 

[guypjfreak]

Yea agree.. Be rammed.. 

[Alvoram]

I've got a feeling he'll be there, I know about the 6 month in Canada thing, but the dates, if taken from the time he travelled, and if all goes well, are very close to lining up. 

Obviously I hope he doesn't rush anything, and that the treatment goes well... But I've just got 'a feeling.' 

Probably has to be John Peel, but I expect it will be very very busy.

Open the Pyramid for me

He’s just released a version of Bittersweet Symphony. This guy is superb.

I hear about him all over social media, he went viral a few weeks ago with Hi Ren. All over tiktok and other playforms. 

There’s a million and one reaction videos on Youtube. 

He was also in the charts recently, as an independent. 

Around 2 weeks ago my (guitar playing / obsessed and rap hating) friend came to me and said he’d found this guy who raps and plays guitar, and that he actually liked him, went to play it, and it was Ren.

Yea that bitter sweet symphony was great.. 

 

Apologies for having to repost this to start a conversation but due to the man up on his high horse who knows fuck all about REN he deleted my first post.. 

Little tip for newbies on here 

Careful who you write things.. If the man dont understand he gets the hump lol..

Absolutely love Ren, hope he does play, and isn’t still in Canada. He said he’d been offered a slot… The Park would work well as an early slot.

[Miathedog]

I hope he plays! I heard Hi Ren a couple Of weeks ago and loved it but really fell down the YouTube rabbit hole yesterday watching his stuff and I’m so impressed. Donated to his medical bills and keeping fingers crossed things will improve for him in time 🤞

[Wherethewildthingsare]

He’s great! Love his version of bittersweet symphony walking down Western Road in Brighton

I think this is such a bad barometer for scale. 'My friends don't talk about him...so?' 

His 'Hi Ren' Video has 4.2 Million views, in a month, as an independent. The bittersweet sympathy retake has 230k in a day. People are talking about him, people are listening. Just not in your circle and that's okay.

He could announce a 3 night residency at eg Roundhouse/Shepherds Bush Empire/Brixton Electric size venue on socials and sell out in a minute. A bit like Fred Again. Over on the Fred Again thread there are people there saying they’ve never heard of him, yet I’ve failed to get tickets on three occasions. 

[Bike_Like_A_Mum]

All I can say is....I love him, and wherever he turns up I will be there!

[guypjfreak]

I find this a very interesting thread...

Not a patch on Stimpy

Missus swears by his revitalising night cream. 🤷‍♂️

[astrowerks]

I’d watch MC Ren

[D-Low]

Sounds like a copy of early Plan B. Heard the one song that's going off on Youtube etc, and he does mention that in his lyrics, so he's not wrong.

[fred quimby]

Mentioned him to my Nephew the other day, saying he should listen. Turns out that he went to Uni with him and did a few sessions in the studio together. Says what a lovely chap he is, but obviously troubled, which I will not go into here. Hope he gets the treatment he needs and that it helps him. Will certainly catch him when he does play

So talented really hope it all works out for him. Some great Ren vids on YouTube
