Brighton Open mic w/ special guest !

Why did I spontaneously cry?!

Great pub!

That's it. I'm packing up my cello, my cats and my 8 bazillion medications and leaving Ohio for Brighton - so desperate am I for an organic music scene. Good gravy that was brilliant.

I Love the Bob Marley and Lauren Hill 😍 You Threw In There.

Who is CHIG!! He sounds like an MC from the Ratpack..... Back to 1991 baby 🔥🔥🔥

Can you imagine being the person to follow this at an open mic?! Epic 🔥

Seriously are they just feeding off each other...poetry in motion! *Yeah life is funny.

Feckin brilliant!! Does it get any better 👏👏👏❤️❤️ How lucky we are that you captured this gem Kai, thank you. Big up Chig! And Ren…..phewie 🤯 ❣️

🤗♥️♥️♥️♥️

You had me grinning like a Cheshire Cat from start to finish of this! 😃

Luke

Ahhh this is just so wholesome! I live for these moments, many thoughts and feelings right now 💖

That's what music is all about! Great video.

ado, though, ado <3

You're not alone. You have whittled your way into a lot of hearts and minds. I hope you keep inspiring people. There is goodness, and power, in the beautiful expanse of humanity.

This is just what I feel music is about. Real community 💖

Please Kai we desperately want more of these awesome memories and your back stories please! So excited to see you on the Ren team! ♡♡♡♡

Canada Lynds ♡

One of the first covers that really made me understand how multitalented ren truly is displayed here ❤️❤️❤️ can’t love this enough

That's so awesome!!! You guys have a lot of chemistry. It's really happy to see. Thank you. 🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

So late to the party on this one... life's been so hectic lately. What an absolute treat to wake up to! I absolutely loved it ☺️💕 Thank you Ren 💕

This just makes my heart warm ❤️❤️

sara b

That is the sweetest thing I ever saw 😍😍😍

Ren in himself is amazing. Ren also seems to be catylist for so much more. Reserve your strength and magic Sick Boi. Thank you for just being yourself.

This was amazing! Great time!

Well, I know it wasn't Los Angeles because that car would've been a goner...

Wow, glad he got out of his car, that was amazing. Even happier you got this on video. Thank you

Nothing more magical than spontaneous hype, live & in-person!! Thanks for sharing, Kai!!

Awesome!! Unrehearsed & amazing. Magic happened...more please!

Louise Strauss

If that wasn’t rehearsed then truly is amazing!

that really was Amazing

Isn’t it amazing these 2 havent been practicing for months but just met up outside ? Like WTF ?? That’s the Ren effect .

Music is a language we all speak. I loved when Chig realized Ren could beat box and rap 😆

Pure gold. Cheers for sharing

Ren Boi Ren Boi... That is all

Hi Kai! Thanks for the videos You’re so sweet to share. Love to you and Ren and crew❤️

This was soooooooooooo cool!!! Big up to Chig! Thanks for sharing this great story and video with us Kai :)

This is absolutely amazing. Love moments like this!

Rika Shae

Absolutely love this!!!!!!!

Great job, Kai! Loved it!! 🔥

This was amazing. Kai keep them coming

💚💚💚💚

His reaction when he saw you rap. He knew he was seeing the future in front of his eyes ♥️

Julia

Love.it.this is brilliant more.please

Fun!! Thanks so much!😁

This was amazing! You can just tell that Ren has music in his soul. They look like they’ve been performing together for years. Love seeing this ❤️❤️❤️

That was FIRE!!!!

Very much enjoyed the video and the context! Makes me want to visit Brighton. 😁

Aroha Nui ❤️

Hey Kai!!!! This was awesome ..HELL YEA show us some more!!!!! Ren is brilliant but I didn't realize there are so many others as well. Love Ren and his spirit he just draws people in. This looked like such a phenomenal experience for everyone 💖 I love hearing Ren just sing as well as beat box what!!!!! Boy has such talent and is a great human....hope u all are doing well . Love to u all

Hey Kai! Well this was fuckin' awesome. I loved this (sorry for swearing) What a duuuude, just hops out of his Beemer haha :p. Us Londener's eh? How's the gang and Ren? I've communicated with Flackerz (he is just the sweetest and he does get a bit of leg pulling still over saying POWER was his favourite from the album lmao). Patreon is great for me, as I don't do instagram or discord (I did discord briefly during moneygame and occasionally Facebook), so this is cool. This is all such a lovely distraction as I'm suffering with withdrawals from being on Diazepam for 10yrs. .I can only imagine how Ren is feeling with his antibiotic treatment (I suffer with FND and Fibro) I've been weening by only 5mg for two weeks and (I take 15mg a day -all prescribed I might add). I'm so disoriented and the the muscle spasms I usually have are like they're on steroids. I feel proper alone, tired and shit- but seeing how far Ren has come makes me smile at least. So yes, Hi Ren! You DO go by many names and I DO know you as "hope x Ps would like to see more of Ren's random's All the best x

That was incredible!! They both smashed it!! 😍❤️

That was incredible!! Thanks Kai for capturing it, and if there's more footage of the night (full Gorillaz??) I'd love to see it in a part 2 one day! Chig is such a natural. Collab in the future?

That was so much fun! Such a cool moment swing dude just light up when Ren started rapping.

Daniel Farrington

Hi Kai, thanks for the intro, so pleased you are part of Ren's team. Yes more lovely likkle gems kike this please!! 😂

epic moment you shared with us. Thank you Kai

No better way to spread love 🥰

Looks like the best night! Love it!

This is amazing kai thanks 😊 So good to see two strangers just enjoying the moment.

In the words of another great, "Music is a beautiful thing" (mac miller during his tiny desk concert, if anyone's wondering ^_^ ) This was so precious to watch and exciting thinking what little hidden gems you've got on your hard-drives, boys! :)) Looking forward

Rox

He wasn't ready aha well done both of you 👏 well worth the time spent viewing, each time I watched it ahahah

This is so good, love to see creative people just enjoying life doing their thing! Chugs bearing his soul was so good! He was so impressed with REN’s talent love it. More please Kai🙏

This is beyond good. Great to see everyone with such joy, it's moments like this people look back on in their later years and remember what life is really about. All the tech to just whip out a phone and record has benefits as well as downsides. Props to Kai and Chig

Man, this was an unexpected surprise at the end of a long day--the convergence of two musical fireballs (three including the drummer). Thank you, Kai!

This is gold. ❤️

Yes, Kai, more!!!

Belinda Roberts

Wow, what a treat!! Chig is cool! Thanks Kai!!

When a person loves music so much, that person will leave the car running to perform, and the other person loves music so much that he sees a fellow musician in need of song, that's magic! Yes to more.

Amazing moment ❤️ Thanks Kai!

I love these gems!!💜💜

But in all seriousness, I could not stop grinning ear to ear throughout this whole video. Impossibly good, man. Brilliant.

Great. Now I want to see Ren collab with Del the Funky Homosapien. Who knows what those two would come up with together.

This is brilliant. Love the spontaneous creativity. Relationships are a beautiful by product of living a creative life. Love it! ❤️

Just 2 strangers creating an awesome jam session for the locals... And as it happens...for us! 😉 Well, 🤔hmmm...gotta be 3 strangers cuz I'm convinced that the drummer was just walking past the outside of the pub and said to himself "ohh look drums" and joined in the magic!! Thank you for sharing! ❤️

You are absolutely brilliant and that artist was compelling. Magnificently done.

That was soooo cool! I vote ‘yes please’ for more of the same, thanks for sharing this gem Kai 💗

That is an awesome story! I just love chance encounters that become as epic as this one! So much connection through music, between strangers. Beautiful. This is what life is about ❤️

Love behind-the-scenes stuff makes lets us appreciate the work more.. along with special moments :)

Thanks for sharing with us Kai, brilliant, keep it coming!

Agreed, the context made it even more magical to watch!

Alexandra B.

We are so grateful to have you on the team, this is one of my favorite things I’ve ever seen, it’s just the magic of music and bringing folks together across the world. Really special, thanks for sharing these intimate gigs and bts that many of us will never get to experience now that Ren went viral 😂 it’s a good thing, but seriously thank you for sharing these type of vids! That tall man about spit his teeth out when he saw Ren start up his rapping on Life is funny 🤣🤣🤣 life really is funny 😆

Alexandra B.

Ahhhhh... This has put the biggest smile on my face!! 😀😀😀 Thank you for capturing and sharing such an awesome performance with us. I love the look on Chigs face when Ren unleashes his epic talent 🤣. I'm sure we all had that look on our faces when we first heard him!

Love how generous Ren is to share his space with no ego and supporting others - good job cig ! Thanks Kai

Damn that looks like such a fun night and rough and raw, but magic still. Thats Rens magic.

This was great!

Amazing, definitely keep the spontaneous moments vids coming

Phenomenal 🤩 yes please more of this 🙏

Please share more Kai. This is incredible to watch. Wish I was there.

This is amazing! Thank you for sharing this x

The joy of making music is only surpassed by the joy of sharing Music

Would LOVE to have been there that night! Great atmosphere! 🍺

Bloody brilliant! Thanks Kai, these are the best, great spontaneous moments that turn into great nights and great memories.

Big up Chig, Love it man.

Music is magical. I love this. Thank you!❤️

Agreed!! 🥹

Wow!!! Soo cool. Bloody brilliant 👏

What a night that must have been! I love being able to share in the joy.

Great stuff. I think Chig wanted to adopt Ren. Thanks for posting this.

Oh wow....that made me cry, so beautiful, life....and real! Thank you for sharing this Kai 💙

Now my cheeks hurt from smiling 😁

Kai, thank you so much for this story and for capturing these moments as if I were sitting in the audience. What a generous flow of energy between both guys.. It was a real treat!

Thanks Kai, loved the stories and the video. Sometimes the timing is just right for great things to blossom 🙌🏻🖤

This is great! Yes, I would love to see any other archive footage that you might have. I swear talented and awesome people are just drawn to Ren like a magnet 🧲

Elizabeth J

Hi Kai. Thanks for sharing this. I really enjoyed it. Chig was pretty cool. I'd love to see more of these sorts of things.

Thanks Kai for sharing your captured moments of JoY with Ren and friends☺️💗

Thanks Kai that was magic. I hope this will end up on YouTube one day so everyone can watch 🫶

I love Chig's commitment, even leaving the car outside with the keys still on, just to join in and enjoy life to the fullest!! Love that kind of energy, really enjoyed this one!! Thanks for sharing Kai!!

meiwai94

Love to hear the backstory to these vids. I think we're all happy that you are here to grab those behind-the-scenes moments and share the people that you, Ren, and the rest of the team are beyond just the music. Looking forward to more from you, Kai! ❤️

Live and unplanned. Brilliant! 🔥

To the moon........

I grew up around all kinds of musicians and have always been so heartened by their generosity of talent and spirit. Thank you for sharing this, Kai. It’s a beautiful example of community and pure joy. ❤️

Fantastic..looked like so much fun...

Brill insight 🥰 love seeing bits like this xx

Loved this ! Chig was great and of course so was Ren !

Pure bliss

Loved this! Thanks Kai!

Classic in so many ways 🥹

EPIC.

Tanya TMS

Nice!

Nice one Kai!

That was so unbelievably awesome!! Loved especially around 4 min in when Ren started beatboxing, too! Thanks for sharing, Kai!!

Thanks Kai, for sharing a bit of your story and the footage of the open mic, I loved it.

Thanks Kai, great 👍❤️

Wow, that was brilliant, what a great spontaneous collab, couldn't stop smiling, thanks for sharing Kai

Angie

Thanks Kai! What a vibe - brightened up my Sunday afternoon, for sure!

That was a top moment 😍

moments like these are worth living for

Thanks Kai! So nice to see Ren before he blew up big time. I guess he (and we) won't have the opportunities to experience these spontaneous artist/fan moments anymore. I am happy that he is getting the success he so well deserves. At the same time, I feel sad because he will be very limited in his relationship with the fans. And because I will probably never get the chance to meet/hang out/talk with him.

Wowza, just gold! Yes, this is the stuff of dreams. Ren in an open mic with friends. Stuff you’d need a Time Machine for. The reason we do open mic at our place…. these golden moments. I don’t want to see ren in a crowd of 20,000 ( though I do want that for him) …. Intimate is everything and you were there, thanks for the share Kai, and glad this patreon is enabling that 😍

I love this Kai! Thank you for sharing! 💞

Love this!

Love this. Keep it coming. Great job man.

Bryan Shoemake

I love this!! Couldn't stop smiling throughout! What great energy!

When planets align, magic happens :)

Love this. Big up Chig : )

That was brilliant. 100% would of loved to of been there when this happened 👍

Dave Smith

Love it, Kai! Thanks for sharing.

Feel privileged to see this, so awesome x

And what do we learn from this? Practicing together is absolutely overrated. 😂 I am really impressed how tight they were together though they didn't know each other.

IG: chigyoung2021

Love this! Seeing Ren just enjoying music 💙

This is just beautiful. Thank you Kai for this story and wonderful video of that day. Magic once again happened and showed us once again how beautiful and connecting music really can be.

Harry Haller

Chig is very talented! I loved his rapping. Great content Kai, keep them coming ❤️

Keep making memories together, it is these moments that will get you through hard times. Fun times and community will keep you from coming undone! Thank you Kai, this is exactly the content I was hoping Patreon would deliver. 🐇🕳️🖤Big Love!

This is so cool, I wonder where this guy is now 🤣 I'd love to see bts from illest of our time vid 👍

I love the encouraging look on Ren's face and the eye contact he has with Chig around the 6 min mark!

This was absolutely delightful to watch! The love and excitement they both showed for the music and each other, absolutely lovely! Thank you for capturing and sharing this moment Kai! 👍🏾👍🏾

So freaking cool! Chig can say he stumbled onto stage with the next superstar! Thanks so much, Kai. Please keep the content coming! xoxo

Kelly Srader

Thanks for sharing Kai! Very cool stuff ❤️

What a fun experience! Love it! 💙

Thanks Kai, pure organic joy emanating from them. Would love some BTS of Animal Flow. Reminded me of the mad parties I'd end up at in the 90's only much, much cooler.

It seems ren is just able to pull amazingly talented people into his orbit without even trying! This was so cool, and that gorrilaz clip? AMAZING 😁💜🐷

FerretMom

What a treat! Thanks so much for posting this. There is so much talent roaming around in this world, it's a joyous thing to see.

This is GREAT! I love being a part of anything Ren and his crew are doing! A sincere thank you for sharing ❤️

Melinda Webb

Thank you for this, Kai! Happy you caught this and are able to share this experience with us 🌟

I love how after Ren goes into Life Is Funny lyrics, Chig’s flow evolved into a more personal and introspective rap. A metaphorical permission slip was granted to freely tell his story. What a beautiful moment 🤍✌️

I loved this, so glad you were there to film it, so awesome please bring us more ❤️

Great stuff 👍 Excellently hidden frustration 😉

danny gibson

Wow, what an experience. I’m only a little bit jealous 😁. Thanks for sharing. Love from Denmark. Lene/🇩🇰

This was great, thank you ♥️

Beautiful on so many levels. Impossible not to smile when you see two people who are obviously in their element and having fun with it.

Elizabeth Fischer

Yay! How good was that !?! Thanks for being it to us ❤️

Can't believe I missed this, I used to spend all my nights at the Fiddler's Elbow 😭 Amazing stuff though, keep them coming Kai 🙌

Excellent!

Hi Kai, thanks for sharing….love watching two people just vibing with each other ……feeding off each other’s energy….love this…💜

Cheers. Looked like a great night to be there. 👍

Keep sharing Kai, love every second of it !!

Aimee

I love being able to take part in both musical and everyday miracles and memories from Ren's life. Thanks for sharing! 💚💫

It’s these types of moments that make me happiest in life. Live music created just for fun (and amazing music at that). Thank you, Kai!

OMG, what a delightful way to start my day, listening to such talent!

Kathleen Kristjansson

Amazing freestyles from both of you , loved the spontaneity. Thanks for posting

Hi Kai! They were so effortless and natural together. Look forward to more content from you. This was great

That's it, I'm moving to the UK. This kind of thing happens all the time and all over the place there, right?

I wonder where this man is now? He’s amazing! I love the energy Ren and Chig have together, thanks for this!

That's deadly!!! The energy coming from it's awesome. Spontan/ impro it's often better than anything else 😁 looks like good night ☺️👏

Just wow! They were meant to meet this night and create art together

Love how Ren is enjoying Chig

Wow! The chemistry between 2 strangers who just met moments before is crazy. So happy that you filmed this Kai!
