Background and release

Kollegah released his third collaborative studio album alongside German rapper Farid Bang, Jung Brutal Gutaussehend 3, in December 2017.[2] 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.
