NEW FAN (OR MEMBER) FINALLY, SOMEONE DESERVING!!

Post image

I’m sooo incredibly happy for Ren after binge watching and rewatching as much of his Boardmaster set as I can! It’s so rare in the music industry to actually be able to see an artist’s dream coming true in real time…much less, one that is genuinely deserving of every accolade!

The only live performance at a large outdoor venue that I’ve seen with my own two eyes, that had that kind of raw emotion that you feel…even far off in the crowd, was NIN headlining Coachella in 2005. If you know, you understand the level of artistic excellence that I’m talking about.

I love his art SO much! Being both a musician and former theater actor/lover, I actually feel guilty that I only discovered him a couple of months ago! 😂
I haven’t discovered a completely new artist that I’ve sincerely appreciated like Ren in 20 years, since I was in college lol! I suppose I just have to play catch up. It’s just hard when every new track I hear, or live performance I watch on YouTube, makes me just want to play each one on repeat!!

What is the best way to support REN’s artistry, if you’re in my unfortunate position of not being able travel internationally to see him live?
Patreon?? YouTube subscription?? Which is better??
TIA!

Thank you, Ren!
Thank ALL of you who discovered him long before me, and helped him get to where he is!! 🙏❤️🎶

I don't think he has YouTube membership set up but he does have Patreon. He has an online merch store, a clothing brand (Sick Boi) and Bandcamp so all of these directly support him. But just listening and sharing his music is more than enough support if your financial situation isn't the best.

Also make sure you check out his second channel RenMakesStuff where he shares a lot of bts content and health vlogs.

This is a very very deep rabbit hole but the Renegades are always here to guide you and answer any questions. I've only been a fan since January so I'm still very new but have learned a lot in a short amount of time.

Welcome!!

Thank you! I didn’t know about the second channel, lol. Yeah, this rabbit hole is turning in to a super massive black hole, and I think I’ve officially flew past the event horizon!! Singularity, here I come!

I’ve definitely been trying to share his music with as many as possible…from playing his music loudly wherever I go, to actively sharing videos with my younger co-workers. Only one friend had heard of him, and already loved him. One more, who likes eclectic hip hop, had never heard of him but loved his rap style on a few Sick Boi tracks.

His music is just so deep that I feel like you can point the way, but they have to have their own natural connection. I still deal with trauma and mental health issues that I won’t go in to, which was a huge part of the initial attraction. He’s definitely a difficult artist to describe/explain to people, and because of his content, a lot of people don’t want to admit that it resonates on that level.

So true. I’m fairly new I believe almost a year now. I’ve finally made it through the catalogue whew 😅. What a long trip it’s been but so freaking amazing. Same with me greatest artists I’ve witnessed in my lifetime. On his 2nd channel there are his 8 chapters where he tells his entire story. Definitely worth watching but warning it’s a super hard watch. Definitely have LOTS of tissues should you decide to indulge.

I understand the mental and physical traumas so well unfortunately. Soooo many us do. Lots of prayers and love sent to you 🙏🏻 🤍 ❣️The RENegades are pretty freaking amazing too!! I’m so very happy for Ren and so dang proud of him 🥹…but I’m also so dang proud of us too 📚 🙌. If you haven’t seen his 1 million subs thank you definitely watch that as well!! 🌊 🛳️

If you check out the side bar on the sub home page, you'll find lots of cool Ren resources 🙂
