Don't wanna wait? Well... my full album reaction is NOW LIVE on Patreon. 👇🏻Watch it 3 days early if you want www.patreon.com/c/EJRILLA
I will be modifying/updating the Patreon in the near future with more realistic rewards and reasons to be a Patron of the channel. This Patreon account helps keep my lights on in the house here.
You really don't have to support me financially, but $5 is all it takes and you get to watch everything early and I'll even be throwing out some exclusive content in the future for Patrons only.
After the move, the unpacking, the building, the wiring, and what felt like approximately 47 years of trying to get everything situated, the new studio is officially complete.
I hand-cut and installed the acoustic slat panels across the entire back wall, rebuilt the computer setup, got the lighting and fixtures in place, and tried to bring everything we loved about the old studio into the new space... with a few upgrades that I think make this setup even better.
There are still a few small things left to dial in before we jump back into full production mode. I need to get OBS completely set back up, fine-tune the microphone and video audio, make sure everything is syncing properly, and work out a couple of the usual new-studio gremlins.
And then...
BOOM. WE'RE BACK IN BUSINESS.
Seriously, thank you guys for being patient while I got through the move and rebuilt everything. I told you the wait would be worth it, and we're finally at the finish line.
EJRILLA is coming back to your doorstep very, very soon.
Where the fudge peckers have EJ and Rilla been? You’re probably wondering where we’ve been, and fair question.
First and most importantly: WE ARE NOT CLOSING DOWN THE CHANNEL. EJRILLA IS NOT OVER.
The honest answer is that both of us have had several major life changes hit all at once and it has made recording and editing really freaking hard. Here’s the quick rundown:
⚠️ My computer went BAM - Sadly, my computer completely crapped out on me one day while EJ and I were trying to record. It was bad enough that I had to take it to a computer repair technician, and it ended up needing a factory reset. That means I lost all of the recording and OBS settings we used for every EJRILLA video. I still need to rebuild all of that, and I just haven’t had the time to get everything back to where it needs to be.
⚠️ EJ was laid off - EJ had to aggressively job hunt for a while, which obviously took priority. The good news is that he has started a new job! The tricky part is that it’s a traditional 9-to-5, so our normal Thursday recording sessions are no longer possible. That has made scheduling way more complicated than it used to be.
⚠️Rilla is having another baby - My wife and I recently announced that we’re having another baby! We’re incredibly excited, but that also means life has been moving at full chaos speed. A lot of the time I would normally spend editing has gone into getting our house ready to sell.
⚠️ Rilla is selling and buying a home - On top of everything else, we’re also in the middle of selling our house and buying a new one. Most evenings, I’ve been moving almost our entire house into a storage unit. Literally almost everything. As you can imagine, that has eaten up basically all of the time I would normally use for recording and editing.
And honestly, there’s even more going on behind the scenes, but those are the big things.
All of that said, once life settles down and we get back into a workable rhythm, EJ and I absolutely plan to return to regular releases of Ren and friends.
We truly apologize for the silence and I’m sorry it took me this long to get an update out to all of you. We appreciate your patience more than you know, and we hope you understand.
RENEGADES... we've got a new one for ya. Who the HECK is Jimmy Sharp? We've got 'Young Ren' with "Jessica" coming Monday morn.
For those of you wondering where our latest Ren release reactions are, my computer completely crapped out on me and I had to factory reset it. EJ and I lost all of our recording settings and software.
On top of this, I am currently packing up my entire house to move to another home soon, so that has kept me insanely busy on top of my other jobs. It's been a month!
We've still got content coming out for ya though, don't worry.
Our Harry Mack views are crazy small... which stinks cause we love him. NOW... we discovered Marc Rebillet for the first time. Watch this chaos ensue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nICDm...
Rilla's computer is NOW fixed finally! We are gonna get back to recording new content this week. BUT in the meantime... we've got our latest Ren reaction.
What Went Wrong (Part II) just released... we've also got "Jessica" and "Wicked Ways" coming down the pipeline with Ren, as well as some hilarious new reactions in Sindhu World and Harry Mack.
RENEGADES. MONDAY IT'S HERE. Our reaction to The Story of 'Starry Night' (Part I). AS always, if you want to watch it RIGHT NOW, you can by supporting us on Patreon: ► www.patreon.com/ejrilla.
No obligation, but we appreciate it. Your support goes a LONG way. It's worth the wait. With all of our technical computer difficulties lately, any support you provide is extremely valuable to us.

Well... it's been a minute, hasn't it? 👀
First off, we're still alive! Life has been an absolute roller coaster lately, and we know we've been pretty quiet around here.
A LOT has happened behind the scenes, and unfortunately, not all of it has been great. BUT... this channel just hit 17k... so holy F THANK YOU!
But after some much-needed time away, I think it's finally time we talked about where we've been and what the future of EJRILLA looks like.
Things are going to be a little different around here moving forward, but I'm hoping you'll stick around with me for the next chapter.
Thank you to everyone who's continued supporting us, even while we've been away. It means more than you know. ❤️
Check out the video below. We've got some catching up to do!
