1984–2005: Early life and career, RBA
Felix Blume's father is of Canadian descent and his mother of German descent. Blume was born in Friedberg, Hesse and grew up fatherless in Simmern. He made his Abitur 2005 on the Herzog-Johann-Gymnasium.
Blume came in contact with Islam, because of his stepfather. With age 15, he converted to Islam and translated the book Death - Resurrection - Hell by Adnan Oktar. He stopped translating and started his rap-career under the pseudonym T.O.N.I. From December 2004 until May 2005 Kollegah participated in rap battles on the online platform Reimliga Battle Arena (RBA) and won 11 out of 14 evaluated battles.
2005–2007: Selfmade Records, Zuhältertape and first studio album Alphagene
Blume released his first Mixtape Zuhältertape for free in 2005 and the re-release Zuhältertape X-Mas Edition on December 29, 2005 under Selfmade Records. In July 2006 Blume published his second Mixtape Boss der Bosse. He earned critics for his bad live performance in Splash! in 2006. Blume's first studio album Alphagene was set to release in September 2007, but was postponed to November, because he was found guilty of owning drugs. Alphagene peaked on 51 and sold over 20,000 copies.
2008–2010: Kollegah, Chronik 2, Zuhältertape Volume 3, Jung, brutal, gutaussehend and Feud with Aggro Berlin
On 11 March 2009, Chronik 2 was released, an album featuring the Selfmade Records artists. The song "Westdeutschlands Kings" performed by Kollegah, Favorite and Farid Bang, targeted insults at Sido, Fler and Kitty Kat from Aggro Berlin. In March, a song titled "Früher wart ihr Fans" was released by Fler, Kitty Kat and Godsilla as a reaction. In the song, they accuse Selfmade Records artists of having created the feud for the sole purpose of marketing their album; Kitty Kat also attacks Favorite by referring to the death of his parents, who died because of a fire while camping. Kollegah responded on 20 March with the song "Fanpost", calling Fler a "fat potato" and claims that he was penetrated with a carrot. Fler responded with the song "Schrei nach Liebe", the chorus of which is heavily based on Die Ärzte's 1993 hit single "Schrei nach Liebe".
On August 28, 2009 Blume released his second studio album Kollegah, which peaked at 17 in Germany, 48 in Switzerland and sold over 20,000 copies. Since 2009 Blume is studying law at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz. In April 2009 Selfmade Records released their second label sampler with Kollegah, Favourite, Casper and Shiml. Three months later Blume released his first collaborative album with Farid Bang, called Jung, brutal, gutaussehend. In December Blume released the third part of his Zuhältertape-Series. A year later Selfmade released the a limited Box-Set with all three Zuhältertape's and the Hoodtape Volume 1.
2016–present: Antisemitism accusation, Imperator, physical attack on a fan, Legacy and JBG 3
In March 2016 Blume founded his own label Alpha Music Empire. The first signing was the rapper Seyed. His debut studio album Engel mit der AK peaked on number three of the German album charts. On September 2, 2016 he announced his sixth studio album and first under his own label Imperator, which was released on December 9, 2016. Imperator peaked at number one of the German, Austrian and Swiss album charts. It also became his third solo album to receive a gold certificate.
In November 2016 Blume released the documentation KOLLEGAH IN PALÄSTINA (Eine StreetCinema Dokumentation) on his YouTube Channel Bosshaft TV. He traveled through the Palestinian territories, visited the West Bank barrier, the refugee camp Al-Amari and supported a school. The documentation started a controversy in the german rap-scene.
On March 10 2017, Blume announced his first Best-Of Legacy and the "Kollegah Gold-Award", a compilation of all his albums released under Selfmade Records. Eight days later, during a concert of his "Imperator"-Tour in Leipzig there was a violent incident onstage. As it's often the case with rap concerts, a rap battle between two spectators should be performed on the stage. One of the participant tried to grab Blume's sunglasses. As a result Blume shoved the man, kicked him and punched him in the face. A few hours later videos of the attack were uploaded to YouTube and Facebook. An uninvolved person filed a lawsuit against Blume. Legacy was released on July 14, 2017 and peaked on number two in Germany.
Jung Brutal Gutaussehend 3 was announced on September 8 and is set to release on December 1. In five days, over 27,000 limited Box-Sets were pre-ordert.
