The Fully Sick Rapper returns

Former JCDecaux account manager Christiaan van Vuuren, who rose to stardom as an internet rapping sensation from the confines of a hospital quarantine room, is back.

Having won the One80 Project, a competition which funds TV pilots, The Fully Sick Rapper now has $180,000 to spend on a trial show that will air on MTV.

Van Vuuren and his brother, who helped him film the FSR videos, won with a 10-minute semi-authobiographical film called Sick.

The film tells the story of how he ended up in hospital, the first FSR song, how he grew an audience for his videos, and the friends he made – many themselves isolated in one way or another – along the way.

YouTube views of FSR’s videos have reached up to 2.5 million.
