About Kerser

Early Life and Music Journey

Scott Froml was born on August 21, 1987. He grew up near Campbelltown, New South Wales, Australia. His father worked as a policeman for over 10 years. Scott started rapping when he was young. He was only 11 years old when he began rapping with his older brother, Aaron, also known as Rates. By the time he was 18, he was already recording his own music. One of his biggest inspirations is the famous rapper Tupac.

Releasing Albums and Gaining Fame

Kerser released his first mixtape, Straight Out tha Gutter, in 2009. His second mixtape, Down the Drain, came out in 2010.

His first official album, The Nebulizer, was released on October 14, 2011. A producer named Nebs made the music for this album. People described Kerser's style as strong and full of energy. The album was a mix of rap, electronic music, and R&B. He became more famous because of his song "Kerser is the sickest," which was also on this album.

His second album, No Rest for the Sickest, came out on November 2, 2012. This album reached No. 15 on the ARIA Albums Chart. It also hit No. 1 on the ARIA Urban Albums Chart. Kerser went on a national tour to share his new music.

In 2013, Kerser signed with Obese Records for management. Later, in 2015, he started working with an independent manager. In March 2013, he released a song called "We Here Now" with his brother Rates. This led to another national tour. Kerser has also performed at big events like the Breath of Life Festival in Tasmania. He shared the stage with other popular artists like 360, Illy, and Seth Sentry.

In August 2013, Kerser released a DVD called The No Rest for the Sickest National Tour. This DVD showed his live performances. It quickly became No. 1 on the ARIA Music DVD Chart.

His third album, S.C.O.T., was released on October 25, 2013. This album featured other artists like Nebs, Jay (Uf), and Jace Excel. It debuted at No. 1 on the ARIA Urban Albums Chart. It also topped the iTunes Chart, beating out artists like Linkin Park and Katy Perry. Kerser toured Australia in early 2013 to support this album.

Kerser's fourth album, King, was produced by Nebs. It was released on November 14, 2014.

His fifth album, Next Step, came out on November 13, 2015. Sinima Beats produced this album. Next Step was the first album Kerser released under his own record label, ABK Records. Warner Music Australia helped distribute it.

On June 23, 2023, he released A Gift & a Kers. This album was also released through ABK and Warner Music Australia. It reached No. 1 on the Australian album charts.

Battle Rap Challenges

Kerser is also very well-known for his battle rap skills in Australia. Battle rap is a type of rap where two artists compete against each other using rhymes and lyrics. He has appeared in popular battle rap events like Got Beef and Real Talk Battle League. Between 2010 and 2012, he only lost two battles.

One of his most famous battles was against another rapper named 360 in December 2011. No official winner was announced for this battle. Their friendly competition became more intense in August 2013. 360 released a "diss track" called "30 Minutes Tops." A diss track is a song where one artist criticizes another. Kerser responded with his own diss track called "Old Matt."

This rivalry and battle is known as the most-watched battle rap in Australian hip hop history. It helped both Kerser and 360 become even more popular. It also showed the differences between the hip hop cultures in Sydney and Melbourne. In the years since, both Kerser and 360 have shown respect for each other's music.
