Lorenzo Patterson, popularly known as MC Ren, is an American rapper, songwriter, and record producer. Time and again, he has put his musical talent on display in his albums, releasing tracks alongside icons like Snoop Dogg and many more.

MC Ren has also proven to be a good actor, and his fans got to see him showcase his acting skills in the 2015 movie "Straight Outta Compton." The movie revolved around the journey of Hip Hop group, N.W.A., to which the rapper belongs.

Although the rapper was a key member in the success of the Los Angeles group in the 1980s, he was given a small role to play in the movie. MC Ren believed that his character portrayed him as a minor member of the group's success.
