I love Ren and his music, I would also like to thank him, your music is more my scene (I'm an early 2000s indie boy) and I've been playing Soul Boy IV non stop in the car, it's perfect driving music, you've gained a new fan, keep up the good work.

Peace, love, unity and respect. I only learned of you because of Ren but you make good music, and we all need good music in our lives. Thank you for what you do. You've gotten a new follower.

Ren absolutely got me to give you a listen, but the music made me a fan. So happy for this opportunity. I hope you take some time to savor this accomplishment; this recognition of all your hard work!

I'm glad Ren pulls so many independent artists into the spotlight. I'm nearly 60 and I gave up on music as all seemed so shallow and dull,except some. But now I listen to so many independent young people and I realize how deep and artful, how fun and thrilling you all are. Music means something again and even when I have to learn a lot (like about hip hop and bars) or cry alot (pointing at Sofia Isella and Morgan St. Jean (not sure she is independent, but she fits so much into it)). I have not a full grip on the SB yet, but I watched a lot of your statements and I really like you as a person and I started to get into your music. I love of course the ska elements as this is my music from the past. So there is a good chance that I will understand your music once I dived deeper into your work.

One big thing that has to be pointed out. Ren can put you on the map. But if your music is not up people's alley, it's not gonna work (we know that for sure from seeing King Dotta not growing, bless his heart). So Ren made "the big push" (pun intended), but it was your own music that has made it work. :o) And that's awesome and something to be proud about, Zac. 💙

If Ren trusts you we do to... it's a bit bloody marvellous to see you getting the recognition you richly deserve 🎉 🍋

Enjoy your sound. I’ve never met Ren, but I love him. He’s a magic spark in a time of darkness in the world. My best to you. 💖

This is so heartfelt. I love this! And I don't think there is anything that Ren would love better than for you to help someone else the way he helped you. I can't wait to really dive into your music! The beat on that song is AMAZING!!!!!

One of REN’s favorite sayings is, “A rising tide lifts all ships”. Many people swear that Ren finds you when you need it most.

Also found your music through Ren. Honestly musically the latest drop wasn’t my thing (the video was awesome though). But I have enough respect for Ren as an artist that I spent some time going through your stuff. Holy shit you guys are fucking great! Soul Boy 2 is incredible. If you ever get to the US check out The Machine Shop in Flint, Michigan! I’ll totally drive there to see you guys play.

All Ren's fans know he only collabs with the very best. He doesn't care about anything but talent. You got a new fan here with some advice: Driving with Ren generally leads to a kidnapping if you're lucky and a jail cell if you're not. Sam Perry-Falvey is the only Ren chauffeur that's escaped unscathed... so far. Save yourself and let Ren Uber it next time. Now I have to get back to exploring your dope catalog.

I love the pay it forward mentality 🙂 I'm glad you're finally starting to see the payoff for all your hard work

I’m so glad you and Ren met and did this collab. The track is sick and went straight to the workout playlist 🔥 can’t wait for the rest to drop! If it weren’t for Ren, I might never have heard of you, and that would have been a real shame. I only just started going through your catalog, and I think your stuff is great! Big love from Canada 🇨🇦

Passing it on is the biggest gift, u probably know of many stories like yours and Rens. Independents supporting independents is how we win against the industry.

The Skinner Brothers
Pls read this..
It’s taken me over ten years to get to this point..
Ten years of running round London trying to make music with nothing but belief..
Not talking about some university degree music thing.. I mean
working shit jobs all week, coming home knackered, sitting on my floor writing songs.
Didn’t know anyone in London. No contacts or help.. I just wanted to make something happen
I’ve had a few managers over the years.. proper industry ones too..
and every single one of them ended up doing me dirty.
Either took money, stopped believing, or tried to turn me into something I’m not.
That stuff toughens you up though.. taught me what’s real and what’s not
Then last year, out of nowhere, Ren messaged me.
Just said, “Yo, your tunes are sick, let’s make something.”
That was it. No label talk & no BULLSHYTE.. just two artists doing it for the love of it.
And that’s how this whole thing started
Now the first tune from our EP’s just dropped..
and it’s already on nearly 350,000 views in a day on YouTube.
Honestly, it’s surreal.. after everything that’s happened over the years, to see people connecting like this means a lot.
Big up Ren every single time for believing in me and putting me on to a wider audience.
Big up his fanbase too.. AMAZING people.
And of course, big up the SB Family.. you guys have had my back always and I’ll never forget that.
This whole collab was built on honesty and respect man,, No games or fake hype.. just the MUSIC
And that’s how I want to keep it moving.
Hopefully one day I can do for someone else what Ren did for me!
I’m going LIVE tomorrow at 8PM (UK time) on YouTube to talk about the new EP, how it all came about, and tell a bit more of my backstory.
Link will be in the comments below.. turn notifications on and come join us. Always a good laugh on the live streams.
Appreciate everyone supporting this.
This is only the beginning. ❤️
