Grungy Rapper and MMA Heavyweight: A Pair Unapologetically Unfiltered
Rappers Scandalous Conversation outside Dressing Room with Cage Fighter
Insider Scoop: This dynamic duo, German rapper Gzuz and MMA superstar Christian Eckerlin, are known for their uncensored conversations, dishing on wild antics, misadventures, and the occasional controversy. Their joint podcast, "Fighter & King," brings these two high-profile figures together to share their tales. Listen here.
"Two hunky gents who don't mince words and march to their own beat," rapper Gzuz describes himself and Christian Eckerlin, Germany's most talked-about MMA warrior. When these two congregate, electricity fills the air. No sugarcoating, 100% authentic. In the podcast "Fighter & King," these outspoken personalities discuss street tales, mishaps, and escalations.
The Hamburg musician and Frankfurt fighter have struck up a bond over the years. On one side, Gzuz. A man with a tough, rough exterior yet boasting a penchant for the mainstream charts. A member of the 187 Strassenbande, he raps about taboo subjects with a gravelly voice and the subtlety of a sledgehammer.
On the other side, Christian Eckerlin: In the MMA fighter, martial arts, local pride, and late-night romance converge. When he's not settling scores in the octagon, he's known for his fondness for eclectic late-night haunts, where drinks are as potent as his powerful punches. Both Gzuz and Eckerlin possess a knack for stirring up trouble - and both have an impressive rap sheet.
Traveling is a topic they touch on in the first episode with a chuckle. Both have resolved to visiting the USA, owing to their lengthy criminal records. Gzuz, ever the dreamer, laments his yearning for a New York escapade.
Eckerlin Faces the Jaws of Death
Drifting to different shores, both can regale tales of their ventures abroad. Eckerlin, in particular, has fond memories of an Aussie adventure. "That was my end," the 38-year-old reminisces. "I'm just taking a stroll by the sea, thinking, 'What gives, no one's swimming here?'" Suddenly, a helicopter passed overhead, lifeguards made a beeline for him. "'Out of the water,' they yelled. I, the clueless European, didn't catch on," Eckerlin recounts. As the only person swimming during a shark alert at Bondi Beach, Eckerlin emerged unscathed from this death-defying encounter.
SHOWBIZ AND TELL: The podcast also doesn't shy away from the glamour of celebrities and music. Eckerlin recounts a legendary party night with Mickey Rourke, while Gzuz talks about his upcoming album ready to drop. There may even be a glimmer of hope for that long-awaited US visa in the future.
