Gzuz and Eckerlin's Unfiltered Chat Show

Two famous personalities, the rhyming artist and the martial arts champion, engaged in an unexpected conversation beyond the ordinary settings of a sewing room.

London-style lads Gzuz and Christian Eckerlin, a renowned rapper and an MMA warrior, have teamed up to host a raw, unadulterated podcast, "Fightin' N' Royalty." Each two-week release on RTL+ promises juicy stories about wild parties, fender benders, and escalations.

Gzuz describes himself and Eckerlin as two smooth operators who tell it like it is. With the bombshell duo, expect no sugarcoating and nothing but the real deal. The podcast gives listeners a front-row seat to the duo's street tales, run-ins, and high jinx.

These two have become close over the years, with Hamburg's tough-talking rapper, Gzuz, sharing a passion for trouble with Frankfurt's Eckerlin, the internationally recognized MMA fighter. Same sideburns, same love for controversy – they've got a bad reputation, but who cares? Not them.

Gzuz, with his menacing good looks and lyrics that would make any mom cringe, is the face of the 187 Strassenbande. He talks the talk and walks the walk, spitting bars about mom's unsavory secrets with the subtlety of a sledgehammer.

On the flip side, Christian Eckerlin draws audiences in with his mix of combat sports, territorial loyalty, and the allure of neon-lit clubs serving strong drinks. When he's not battling in the octagon, he's inhabiting a scene where big-city dreams and temptation collide.

Their records are checkered, and the US doesn't appreciate their antics. In the podcast's inaugural episode, they laugh off being banned from entering the States. Their lengthy criminal histories have sealed their fate, leaving New York City just out of reach for Gzuz, who dreams of treading its pavement.

Eckerlin vs. Sharks

Their tales don't end on home soil. Through Australia, Japan, Thailand, and Sydney, they've both collected strange stories. Eckerlin has never forgotten his incredible encounter with a shark in Bondi Beach, when he was the only one in the water during a shark alert. The lifeguards swooped in, yelling for him to get out, and he obliged, most likely having never learned the rules about swimming during shark sightings.

MMA Mania & Hip Hop Heat The podcast doesn't shy away from celebrity and music gossip. Eckerlin divulges stories from raucous nights with Mickey Rourke, while Gzuz dishes on his upcoming album. Despite the setbacks, there's still a glimmer of hope for clearing their names and visiting the United States again.

Get ready for the premiere of "Fightin' N' Royalty" on RTL+ from May 7.
