Bonez MC Shares Rare Photo from His Early Fitness Days

German Rap Artist Bonez MC Shifts From Fitness Songs to Laissez-Faire Lifestyle

German rapper Bonez MC has moved away from the rigorous workout culture that once defined his early musical output, contrasting with a broader German rap subgenre dedicated to fitness. While fellow artists such as Majoe, Silla, Massiv, Farid Bang, Kontra K, and Kollegah frequently incorporate physical training into their lyrics, the 187 Strassenbande co-founder has largely adopted a more relaxed approach to exercise, according to raptastisch.net.

The artist, whose real name is John Lorenz Moser, spent years maintaining a laissez-faire attitude toward physical training, favoring a lifestyle involving cannabis, lean, and alcohol. Although he has tightened his diet in recent years and follows a vegan lifestyle, his current routine differs sharply from his early career output. In his early work, including the debut release Krampfhaft Kriminell and tracks like “Starte ins Bad,” the rapper made frequent references to hitting the gym, running on treadmills, and lifting weights.

Early Fitness Tracks and Archival Photos Highlight Past Routine

A decade and a half ago, the Hamburg-born artist documented his commitment to physical conditioning both in his lyrics and public image. Raptastisch.net reported that the rapper shared an old photograph from 19 years prior, capturing him at age 21 during the rollout of the collaborative tape Zwei Assis trumpfen auf. That era of his career produced tracks explicitly dedicated to working out. On the song “Pump im Park,” from the Sampler 3 era and associated releases, he rapped about lifting weights and exercising outdoors:
Gib die Hantel rüber, geh mal einen Sixer kaufen / Heute wird gepumpt, Digga, bis die Lichter ausgeh’n

The lyrics detailed an active daily routine combining outdoor calisthenics with hydration and fitness discipline:
187, manche leben zwischen Puff und Tanke / Ich pump im Park und lass jetzt die Muskeln tanzen
