‘First Day Out’ by artist Hi-Rez, who masquerades as ‘Trump the Don’, has skyrocketed to the top of the iTunes Hip-Hop charts since it was released last week as the former President was taking his infamous mug shot inside a Georgia jail, reports The New York Post.
In the digital imitation, Hi-Rez imagines how Trump must have felt after being booked and released on bond over charges of trying to overturn the 2020 election in the state.
“Out on bail, out on bail. I won’t see inside a cell,” the eerily-accurate AI-generated voice chants.
“Imma beat them RICO charges. And if I go to prison. You can’t do me like the Clintons. I’ll be laid up, eating steak with Secret Service chillin’.”
The track, which garnered 3 million views on X, also mentioned the media frenzy surrounding Trump’s mug shot, and how the 2024 presidential hopeful leaned into the attention by turning it into a symbol of rebellion against the Democrats.
“These DA’s acting silly. My mugshot is worth a billi. Sold some merch and made a milli.”
Meanwhile, the parody has gained heavy circulation on social media platforms.
Donald Trump Jr also applauded the song, calling it “hilarious”.
On August 24, the former President had surrendered at a county jail in Georgia. He was arrested and released on bail.
