Perth rapper Hunter loses cancer battle

**taken from www.perthnow.com.au**

PERTH rapper Hunter lost his two-year battle with cancer this morning.

Tributes have poured in on Twitter for Robert Hunter, one of the founding members of Australia's rap and hip hop community.

He emerged in the 1990s as a battle MC and went on to release four albums. He had been working on a final project, an album in support of cancer charity CanTeen.

Hunter was a member of the Syllabolix Crew, which ARIA-nominee Drapht is also a part of. Drapht tweeted this morning," On behalf of SBX, we regret to inform you all we lost a brother this morning. @HunterSBX, we love you & we're glad you're no longer in pain."

The Hilltop Hoods tweeted: "Rest in Peace @HunterSBX. We love you brother. My heart is broken."

Hunter was active on his Twitter account as recently as Tuesday, when he tweeted, "There will be no pearls of wisdom today or tommorow. They are gathering my next if kin." (sic)

He is survived by a son, Marley.

Since his diagnosis a film crew had been following all aspects of his life. Below is a teaser for the documentary:
