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]
