I know a lot of readers of Faygoluvers may not give a shit about the ridiculous prices for hydro ninjas in Ontario have to deal with but it is bullshit. Our tunnel runnin’ homie J Reno, who is from Windsor Ontario, decided to make himself a video displaying his distaste for Premier Kathleen Wynne and the rising prices.

The video got a 24,000 plays on Facebook in less than 24 hours.

CBC News ran a story on the video and spoke to J Reno. You can check out that interview at CBC.ca by CLICKING HERE or you can check that out below.

A Windsor, Ont., rapper got inspired to create a song and video about the province’s spiking hydro prices — and he used sounds from Queen’s Park to do it.

Jeremy Renaud released a rap he wrote and produced called Hydro Bills on Facebook, where it gained more than 24,000 views in less than a day.

“I’m paying more for power than I’m paying for the actual place I’m powering,” said Renaud, who goes by the stage name J Reno.

Lyrics in the rap include allegations that Premier Kathleen Wynne “doesn’t care about the people” and that high hydro rates are causing businesses to close.

“I end up with a $400, $500, $600 bill,” Renaud said. “There’s only so much you can do before you look back and say, ‘I’ve done everything I can do, but it’s still too high.'”

The rap contains audio clips of Progressive Conservative Leader Patrick Brown challenging the Liberals over hydro prices during question period in Queen’s Park.

Ok.ok. This is super cool. Tx @OfficialJReno for mixing in @brownbarrie as he holds the @OntLiberal party to account. https://t.co/r7qIoxMQOk

While Renaud told CBC News that he often covers difficult topics in his music, he said that it’s rare for him to take a political stance.

“This is the first time that I’ve geared [a song] towards one situation that affects me the most.”

He said wouldn’t consider himself either a Liberal or a Conservative when asked about his political leanings this week.

“I want to reach people who otherwise wouldn’t be paying enough attention to the issues,” Renaud said. “I still can’t process how massively this has snowballed.”
