The main album features 14 tracks, including collaborations with heavyweights like Nas, Camron, and Farid Bang. Standout tracks like "Orbit," "Royal," and "Psycho" showcase Kollegah's signature flow and his penchant for intricate wordplay.
"Hoodtape 3," on the other hand, is a raw and unfiltered look into Kollegah's world, featuring 30 tracks that delve into the gritty realities of street life. This section is a nod to the underground roots of hip-hop, with tracks like "Frontale Faust," "Spastivater / Nuttenmum," and "Prison Break" standing out as highlights.
Throughout "Monument," Kollegah's lyrical dexterity is on full display, as he effortlessly weaves together complex rhyme schemes and vivid storytelling. The album's production is equally impressive, with a blend of hard-hitting beats and melodic interludes that complement Kollegah's delivery.
"Monument" is not just an album; it's a statement. It's a declaration of Kollegah's dominance in the German hip-hop scene and a testament to his enduring influence. Whether you're a long-time fan or a newcomer to Kollegah's music, "Monument" is an essential addition to your collection. So, turn up the volume, sit back, and let Kollegah take you on a journey through the streets of Germany, one rhyme at a time.
