Background and release

edit

Kollegah released his third collaborative studio album alongside German rapper Farid Bang, Jung Brutal Gutaussehend 3, in December 2017.[10] The album became an immediate success for them, debuting on the pole positions in German-speaking Europe and being certified platinum by the Bundesverband Musikindustrie (BVMI) and gold by the IFPI Austria. Following a controversy about antisemitic lyrics on the bonus EP §185, both rappers released Platin war gestern in August 2018.

Kollegah announced Monument on 1 October 2018.[11] It was released by Alpha Music Empire, Kollegah's record label. On 1 October 2018, the limited box set was made available to pre-order on Amazon for €43.99.[12]
