Kollegah started rapping in 2004 under his first alias "T.o.n.i."
He released his first mixtape "Zuhältertape Vol. 1" (Zuhälter = german for "pimp") in 2004 for free over the internet which caused a rather great hype in the german underground rap scene. Kollegah fascinated the listeners with lightspeed double or even tripple time rap, incredibly funny and complex punchlines and ruthless drug dealer stories which had never been before in Germany.
He then would start rapping in the german "RBA" (Reimliga Battle Arena, an online platform for german Mcs to battle each other via mp3s) and caused a great hysteria aswell because alot of people could not believe that such a good and verbally gifted player would attend their small community.
In 2005 the "Selfmade Records" Label, home to Artists like Favorite or Shiml signed him and immediately re-released his Zuhältertape as an "X-mas edition" with 6 bonus tracks.
A year after, he released his highly anticipated follow-up mixtape called "Boss der Bosse" (german for boss of the bosses).
2007 finally marked the release of his first Album, "Alphagene" (german for alpha genes) which sold surprisingly well for a purely independently released album, peaking at #51 in the german album charts. The successor "Kollegah" in 2008 even topped this remarkable chart entry with a stunning #17 entry in it's first week.

Okay, okay, check den Flow, Alter, he
Was lachst'n? Ey, guck mal, folgendermaßen:
Ey, du bist nikotinabhängig und
Willst bloß Zigaretten
Ich steh' druff am Block auf
Kokain und Vicodin Tabletten
Ein Kilo Piece verchecken
Halb zehn, Zeit für 'n Knoppers
Ein Kilo Speed verchecken
Kid, ich pack' die geladene Gun ein und
Chill' in der Hood in Pelzklamotten
Fick' paar Unterwäsche-Models bis zum
Bruch der Beckenknochen
Yo, der Punchlineboss im Game
Lehnt in der Hood mit Bandana und Knarre
An einer Wand wie Solid Snake
Sei leise du Penner
Komm mir bitte nicht mit monogames Leben
Mein Vokabular besteht zum
Großteil aus Drogenfachchinesisch
Ich bin stets umgeben von Kameramännern
Ramme paar Pennern am
Hauptbahnhof das Butterflymesser
Quer in den Oberschenkel, ey
Du bist wegen Geldsorgen selbstmordgefährdet
Wie Robert Enke
Und stehst auf den Schien' wie
"Two and a Half Men"-Fans ey der Boss
Der nicht an Fußgänger-Ampeln bremst
Cruist in dem schwarzen Benz
Richtung Stadtrand zwecks Drogendeals
Ich klatsch' dich
Bis du Bastard am Boden liegst
Ich komme mit goldener Kette, verfolge die
Rapper mit Colt oder Tec
Aber wenn ich die Shotgun hole
Ist ihr Leben auf einmal aus wie Obdachlose
Okay, nächster
