Fler's Music Journey
Starting Out in Music (2000–2006)
Fler first became known in the rap world by working with another rapper, Bushido. They released an album together called Carlo Cokxxx Nutten in October 2002. Fler also appeared on five songs on Bushido's first solo album, Vom Bordstein bis zur Skyline, which came out in July 2003.
Fler released his very first solo album, Neue Deutsche Welle, on May 1, 2005. The first song from this album was "NDW 2005". It used a part of the famous song "Rock Me Amadeus" by Falco.
In 2006, Fler released his second solo album, named Trendsetter. The first song from this album, "Papa ist zurück", was quite popular. It reached number 23 in Germany and number 32 in Austria. The second song, "Cüs Junge", also made it to the charts, reaching number 50 in Germany and number 75 in Austria.
Growing Success (2008–2010)
On January 25, 2008, Fler released his third solo album, Fremd im eigenen Land. He also released another album in 2007 called Airmax Muzik.
After the record label Aggro Berlin closed, Fler and Bushido worked together again. They showed everyone they were friends again with a special photo shoot and interview for Bravo HipHop Special.
They then created another album together, Carlo Cokxxx Nutten 2. The only song released from this album, "Eine Chance/Zu Gangsta", came out on August 28, 2009. It reached number 26 in both Germany and Austria.
The album Carlo Cokxxx Nutten 2 was released on September 11 and became very successful. It reached number 3 on the German music charts. Bushido said that he was surprised by how well the album did, especially since it didn't have much advertising.
Fler's fifth studio album, Flersguterjunge, was released in June 2010. It was put out through the record label ersguterjunge.
Starting Maskulin Label (2011–2013)

The album Airmax Muzik II was released on April 8 through Fler's own record label, Maskulin. It quickly reached number 6 on the charts in April 2011. A special edition of the album included extra songs and a 30-minute DVD. This DVD showed parts of Fler's childhood, with old photos and home videos. It also had interviews with his stepfather and other artists like Silla.
Fler's eighth solo album, Hinter blauen Augen, came out on November 2, 2012. It reached number 3 in Germany. Music videos were made for several songs from this album, including "Nummer 1", "Hinter blauen Augen", "La Vida Loca", and "Du bist es wert".
