The infamous Sydney folk/rap singer "Phatchance" will now be known as "Chance Waters". The announcement was announced shortly after Phatchance admitted he did not vote for Skiphopz in the Ozhiphop Journalist of the Year poll. A crime for which he can never be forgiven.
He wrote the following on social networking website "The Face Book":
I decided it was time for a change. When I was 16 and started out performing Phatchance was a great name for me
[citation needed]
I was a battle rapper and it suited what I was doing really well, with
my second album nearly finished and hopefully with my music maturing I
felt like it was time to make a change, a lot of you already know me as
Chance Waters so hopefully you'll listen to my music in that guise too. ♥
as always - Chance
Good luck to you, bro.
Of course readers can expect to find the scathing review of the new Chance Waters album right here on SkipHopZ, as soon as I can find a megaupload link for it.
Two weeks after disappearing during a police chase, the body of rapper Scott Barrow has been found and preliminarily identified. The 18 year old man from Western Sydney was better known by his rap alias 'Kerser'.
On Tuesday a pathologist conducted an autopsy on Barrow’s body. The test found he had died by drowning and that his death was accidental.
On January 1st Barrow reportedly ran from police after being involved in a car accident with his girlfriend, less than a mile from where his body was found.
Police said he was last seen fleeing along the banks of the river near the intersection of Carrington and Lincoln East, when an officer said he heard a "sploshhh."
"His last words to me were that he promised he'd call when he made it, wherever he was going” Barrow’s girlfriend Allison James recalled.
With no phone call, loved ones handed out flyers for more than a week, hoping they’d locate Kerser alive.
Then on Monday afternoon, South Bend firefighters pulled a body from the Hawkesbury River near Howard Park.
"When we got that phone call we just took off. We knew it was him and it was so hard” Barrow’s older sister Marion said.
Crews rushed to the scene and pulled in the body as it was floating downstream. Autopsy results showed no bruise marks or injuries consistent with foul play. Even so, Metro Homicide is conducting its own investigation just to be safe.
The young lad's untimely death has left his many fans shocked and distraught. Kerser leaves behind an impressive legacy, an acclaimed debut album, the ubiquitous catchphrase "Kerser is the sickest" and his famous dance "doing the Kerser". Fans expressed their grief through Twitter, with Kerser's lifelong friend Iggy Azalea tweeting "He was the sickest, rap will never be the same. He is Australia's Biggy Smalls. Taken before his time #RIPkerser".

Skiphopz, the top internet authority on rap singing, is giving shouts out to RAPED. These guys go hard...but dont think that they are a crew of rape victims, it stands for REAL ASS PEOPLE EVERY DAY. and thats what their raps are all about.
RAPED takes the backing tracks from popular urban ballads by performers such as Lil Wayne and Jay-Z, and replaces the lyrics with straight goonin. Highly recommended for those of you with a high musical IQ.
