What else should we react to? 🤔 Comment below! Also if you like the song in the intro support the channel & grab your signed album & merch now!! 🤟 http://www.knoxhillmusic.com

In the livestream when Ren released Hi Ren, he said that the pig was inspired by a line in the book, Animal Farm, and it represents mankind's greed.

Came here at the speed of Ren.

Guys quick addition to this!! I just realised those higher pitched strums I thought were string impacts in the beginning are actually his guitar!! If you listen close you can hear the strumming. Very, very cool pace and pitch to it. Anyways carry on!

God the heaving sound and the nervousness when you're on meds, and they're not working, and you spend every conversation trying not to throw up and just trying to be calm and polite when your mind is SCREAMING at them to shut the fuck up so you can leave.

I have complex chronic illnesses like Ren too - and I’ve had this exact conversation with doctors, aka medical gaslighting, where they dismiss your very real physical symptoms as psychological (due to the trauma response etc.). And he highlights the intense frustration of this gaslighting so perfectly. It leads to delays in diagnosis / treatment / management, and just the mental health impacts of being constantly dismissed and pushed aside by the very people who are supposed to help you get better… this video is SO important for those of us with chronic illness x

I like how he's breathing heavily, obviously losing his sh** but when he speaks to the counselor he's all calm "thanks for seeing me" etc.
Its like a call-forward to the line "push it down in public, pose for the pic boy"
As in he's hiding his struggle from everyone.

Came here Knox in hopes this wasn’t miraculously blocked! So grateful for another opportunity to enjoy and looking forward to REN’s new and even better release! So nice to watch your connection and friendship evolve…
Much love and respect❣️

For everyone who's wondering, the video got a copyright strike and now his whole album is in danger. Ren and his team are fighting hard to get it back!
Here is Rens community post about it:
The sickboi video isn't actually just a behind the scenes issue. This is getting out of hand I'm really sorry for everyone who wants to watch the video. This situation is so fucked and runs deeper than I'm even going to say yet. I was sold a beat with a stolen sample which was a fuck up on the producers part but I gave him the benefit of the doubt, producers sample things all the time, so I wasn't massively pressed about it. Partly because of this and partly because of a fuck up on either the publisher or publisher collection society's behalf kujo hasn't received his publishing which I was trying to resolve, even working with kujo on after he and his team removed the song from YouTube as leverage. Now no one ever told me this situation was even happening or that kujo was unhappy which is a fuck up on both kujo and my lawyers behalf (but giving my lawyer the benefit of the doubt i was in brain damage treatment so he probably figured I didn't need the stress) . I was trying to work really fairly with kujo and even willing to take a financial hit myself on something I shouldn't have because of a stolen sample, but the situation has now gotten  ridiculously greedy using legal leverage and unfair loopholes. Honor the original contract. I have receipts of our entire conversation in case any of you guys are in any doubt as to what is happening here.

I've given the person and company responsible a warning that I'm making this totally public unless they resolve it asap. This could affect the entire sickboi album because of greed. They can do what's right or you guys will loose a big part of something I worked so hard on while going through one of the toughest periods of my life.

Even now I want to resolve this amacably but when they're asking for way more than what was originally agreed upon because of legal loopholes it becomes very difficult to keep giving the benefit of the doubt. I really believe in principle and kujo being paid fairley for making the beat which i am chasing (even though its not my department its the publisbers so im going above and beyond here) but honor the original agreement don't start chasing more because the song is sucessful off the back of my own hard work

Acrually fuck it, lets make it public, they also pointed out they could legally claim 100% of all royalities on this song over a youtube content ID technicality and loophole in the contract. Sadly the way the legal system is weighted against small artists there may be weight behind this, so not only are they asking for more theyre threateneing (or as kujo says 'pointing out') that they could claim the whole thing if i dont agree to the terms. Can anyone here tell me if they think its fair they claim 100% when they sold a song with a sample wrongly taken from somehwere else?

Welcome to the music business everybody

This whole thing started because the publishers fucked up and didn't pay kujo properly.

Honestly fuck this industry man

Parasites everywhere

Sick Boi is phenomenal, and Ren had to put it down recently due to a very ridiculous (and ironic) situation. But he will remake and remaster it, so we will have Sick Boi back better than ever, and we have to thank Ren so much for going through all of this and for battling to keep this song out, because it is so impactful to the fans and just the world. So I watched this reaction as a final watch of this phenomenal piece of art, until we are blessed with the new one.

Ren is so good at multiple meanings. "Losing patience/patients with the process."

I'm a 42 year old mom of grown kids. My son actually introduced me to Ren.
I'm in school studying psychology with the goal of becoming a behavioral therapist for adults with developmental disabilities (I've been a home manager at an agency for this population for over 20 years).
Ren's music has made an impact on how i want to approach my future career in therapy. I was touched by his experiences and I believe his songs addressing his treatment will stick with me. It's made me take a deep look at how therapists can come across to patients. I appreciate this look into the system.

I’m so happy Ren is getting the recognition he deserves ❤

I’m as impressed with Knox’s analysis of Rens music, lyrics as I am with Ren.  Super smart guy.

Came here straight from Ren's video message announcement regarding the debacle. Thank you so much for what you do Knox..we can enjoy the original track and Ren and the inspiring message he brings at every opportunity.

On the topic of trauma. I am a foster parent, and I have taken a class on trauma informed care, and it was eye-opening. They have done studies that actually show that trauma changes your body’s DNA in a negative manner. Those that have been through a lot of trauma are now programmed to have a trauma response to most situations. The only way to really break this cycle is to offer actual loving care and get them to trust you in a way they’ve never trusted someone before.  Children and foster care are generally put through one traumatic experience after another, and it is very hard to get through to them and build any kind of trust.  What Ren speaks about in this song is so very true.

Please do ren losing it next. It’s my favourite right now.

I love your Ren analyses! For more of Ren commenting on the state of the world, you might enjoy Money Game part I and II. I hope you'll keep exploring the beautifully diverse world of Ren!

REN is so underrated man

'Crutch' broke my heart, filmed 6 years ago when Ren was having a breakdown and didn't have a proper diagnoses.
But Chalk Outlines with Chinchilla (Live version) would probably be the most requested.
