Is it this guy? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1k3GuSlknY
He rapped about his mom dying of cancer. He ended up winning the contest and released the song as a single

I saw it on Youtube once. It's a new song (2011-2015) where a guy raps about his mom. The music video is of old pictures of him and his mom.
