Ren - Money Game Pt 3 | 1st Time Listening!! | Unrehearsed Reaction | Review & Discuss

In this episode I'm listening to "Money Game Part 3" by Ren from the 2023 album "Sick Boi". I haven't heard this song before nor did I do any preparation into listening before this video, I wanted the experience to be raw and natural. I will most likely be doing a follow-up video to this one as there is a LOT to unpack. Ren is an incredible artist and has phenomenal talent. I wanted to start here because I've heard "Hi Ren" and wanted to go with other fan favorites and this one stuck out. Have you heard this song before? Do you like it? Did I understand the story and song? What are your thoughts? What did I get wrong?!?! If there are other bands/songs you'd like me to listen to and discuss, let me know in the Community or post in the comments.
