"Whatcha" isn ´t actually a word. When we speak quickly, our words tend to run together, so "What are you" contracts into "Whatcha". Here are a few similar "words":
 
Wairdja = Where did you     Wairdja go after the movie?
Hoodja  = Who did you         Hoodja go with?
Wydja   = Why did you         Wydja hit me?
Whadja = What did you       Whadja say?
Didja     = Did you                 Didja do your homework?
Jeet       = Did you eat          Jeet yet?
Wenja   = When did you      Wenja get home last night?
