Jung Brutal Gutaussehend 3 ("Young, violent, handsome 3"; also stylized as Jung, brutal, gutaussehend 3 and abbreviated as JBG 3) is the third collaborative studio album by German rappers Kollegah and Farid Bang. It was released on 1 December 2017 through Alpha Music Empire, Banger Musik, and BMG. Before the release of the album, Kollegah and Bang collaborated on Jung, brutal, gutaussehend in 2009 and Jung, brutal, gutaussehend 2 in 2013.

The album produced three singles, including "Gamechanger", "Ave Maria" and the number one single "Sturmmaske auf (Intro)", all of which received music videos. Kollegah and Farid Bang promoted the album with a limited box set and the JBG3-Tour in January 2018.

Jung Brutal Gutaussehend 3 debuted at number one on the German, Swiss and Austrian album charts. The album was certified platinum by Bundesverband Musikindustrie (BVMI) and gold by IFPI Austria. As of April 2018, the record has sold 207,500 album-equivalent units in German-speaking Europe, with incomes amounting to €4.3 million from physical album sales alone.[4][5]

Upon its release, the album received negative reviews from critics, with particular attention drawn to the production, misogyny and alleged antisemitism. The album won the Echo Music Prize in the Hip-Hop/Urban national category, which led to the prize being discontinued, following a controversy about antisemitic lyrics on the song "0815" on the bonus EP §185.
