Mini bio
How it started.
Born in Hamburg, Bonez grew up partly in France and southern Germany before returning at 18. He told JUICE that he met Gzuz playing basketball and they began rapping together. Their early music videos were filmed with an Aldi Medion camera.
Finding his audience.
He released the mixtape Mehr geht nicht in 2008 and his first solo album, Krampfhaft kriminell, in 2012. High & Hungrig with Gzuz reached Germany’s top ten in 2014. By 2016, both High & Hungrig 2 and his RAF Camora collaboration Palmen aus Plastik reached number one.
Two lasting partnerships.
The Gzuz records kept his street-rap partnership at the centre of his career, while the Palmen aus Plastik albums explored dancehall with RAF Camora. His solo catalogue includes Hollywood and Hollywood Uncut in 2020, GAMEBOY in 2024 and Johnny’s Tape in 2026.
Still together on stage.
In 2026, Bonez MC and RAF Camora returned to Palmen aus Plastik for its tenth anniversary. Their tour organisers reported more than 125,000 tickets sold within hours and a run of December arena dates.
