Raubtier Kollektiv — “Mach dich gerade”

Berlin’s Raubtier Kollektiv open their new album Real Talk with a mission statement disguised as a banger. “Mach dich gerade” (“Stand tall”) is a high-octane German rap anthem built on razor-sharp production and a commanding hook that hits with both physical and psychological force. It’s a track about posture in every sense — holding your head high, standing your ground, and refusing to shrink yourself.

Driven by pounding drums, dark synth textures, and an unmistakable Berlin grit, “Mach dich gerade” channels the raw confidence of street rap while delivering a deeper message about self-discipline and inner strength. Where many Deutschrap acts celebrate dominance for its own sake, Raubtier Kollektiv flip the script — here, confidence is portrayed as a form of clarity, not arrogance.

As the opener to Real Talk, the song sets the tone for a project that bridges street realism and self-development. Across the album’s nine tracks, the collective trades in aggression not for violence, but for focus, authenticity, and empowerment. “Mach dich gerade” feels tailor-made for both gym playlists and club systems — a track that pushes you forward with its energy while keeping you grounded in purpose.

With crossover potential and an anthemic, motivational core, Raubtier Kollektiv are positioning themselves as a new voice in German hip-hop — one that fuses the raw power of the street with the depth of lived wisdom.
