It’s about time Ren Gill got his own NSC thread, I think.
This ridiculously talented rapper/singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist/producer is a long-time Brighton resident (when not undergoing treatment) – and well on his way to becoming a global superstar.
Some of you will know of him. Many won’t - yet. So here’s a primer…
Ren’s a chronically sick young man. ME, Lyme’s disease, mental illness and more.
I’m going to do him a massive disservice if I attempt to cover the history of his illnesses in a few lines, but if you’re interested in the full story, he writes about it on his fundraising page…

Alternatively, jump straight to his music, which is often autobiographical anyway…
‘Hi Ren’ takes you deep inside Gill’s tormented psyche as he battles with his subconscious (yeah, Eminem did it!). This MASTERPIECE has 7m+ views and, tellingly, has spawned dozens and dozens of reaction videos and many essays too.
I’ve seen it compared to Bohemian Rhapsody numerous times. It doesn’t sound like it (dur), but is similarly epic (9min 19sec, in fact) with several switches of style.
Start right here. Stay to the very end.
Hard-hitting ‘Sick Boi’, his latest release, gives an insight into some his past treatment (and mistreatment) - er, with a side-order of anti-capitalism.
‘Money Game 2’ has 7.8m views. But probably 100s of millions on TikTok, as the GENIUS middle section – capitalism explained as a 10-part nursery rhyme - became a popular meme. Love this.
'The Tale of Jenny & Screech' is an epic trilogy, brilliantly executed. Great storytelling, with a twist…
He really can sing…
