So what about Ren?

[Aosta]

Just stumbled across this guy who seems multi talented and somewhat gifted in the way Eminem was but seems to be much more musically talented.
Thoughts?

"Hi Ren" is flat out amazing IMO. I binged on him after seeing that video and was not disappointed.
He is what I would call a music artist as opposed to a musical performer (though he is also that).
Such creative writing, so emotionally raw and like his songs are a direct message from his soul.
Equally at home with a guitar or a sampled track, in the studio or on the street.
I don't know what else to call him, he's far more than just a rapper.
Check out his vocal and jazzy/soulful guitar playing on covers like I Shot the Sheriff:

It's a Man's world:

There are tons of his street busking and live performances on YouTube for anyone also looking for a deep dive…

Yep. Hey,Ren. Awesome.

I can't believe he's dumped Stimpy and gone solo. What a ratbag.

Yep, had a binge last night and this guy is extremely talented

The guitar work on the Jenny and Screech Tales trilogy is insane especially Violet's Tale,

Also can't get these two out of my head at the moment...

Considering what he has been through in his life it really is amazing what he is creating

Yeah I saw an interview with him where he talks about using Reason, funny he said "I got hold of a copy of some software called Reason" which I took to mean he was using a cracked version bless him, probably didn't have the cash at 12 years old.
