In March 2016, Kollegah founded Alpha Music Empire and announced the rapper Seyed as the first signing , whose debut album Engel was released with the AK on June 3, 2016. The album made it to number 3 in the German album charts.
On September 2, 2016, Kollegah Imperator announced that it would be his first album on his own label. Imperator was released on December 9, 2016 and received a gold record in Germany.
Seyed Cold Summer's second album was released on August 18, 2017 and reached number 4 in the German album charts.
At the beginning of September 2017, Kollegah and Farid Bang announced the album Jung, Brutal, Gutaussehend 3 . It was released on December 1, 2017 via Banger Musik , the label of Farid Bang, and Alpha Music Empire. It landed at number 1 in the German album charts and received platinum for 200,000 sales in April 2018, as well as a gold record in Austria for 7,500 sales.
In June 2018, Kollegah paid a bail of 40,000 euros for the rapper Jigzaw , who was still in prison at the time, and was announced as a new signing. His song Realtalk Unchained was released on June 15, 2018 via Alpha Music Empire. His album Post Mortem was released on August 30th and reached number 14 in the German charts.
