A rap song that features an AI-generated Donald Trump dunking on the “radical left” and the latest batch of criminal charges against the former president and current 2024 contender has landed a No. 2 spot on the iTunes rap chart.
“First Day Out” by artist Hi-Rez — masquerading as “Trump the Don” — skyrocketed to the top of the Hip-Hop charts since it was released last week as Trump was taking his infamous mug shot inside a Georgia jail.
In a near-perfect digital imitation of the former president, 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 rap — which garnered 3 million views on X, formerly known as Twitter — made sure to mention the media frenzy surrounding his mug shot, and how the 2024 candidate 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.”
Though the rap song wasn’t genuinely sung by Trump, the one-and-a-half-minute song touched on many of the talking points he repeats during public speaking engagements.
Namely, the mimicking rapper blamed Democrats for the multiple criminal cases lodged against the Republican politician.
“Screaming ‘orange man bad!’ The whole world mad. Thug life, shout out all of my Maga-based Chads,” the so-called Trump the Don singer says.
“Coming for the deep state. I will stop the New World Order. But before that I’ll finish walls at the border.”
The parody — which Hi-Rez said he made within 30 minutes as “an absolute joke” — gained heavy circulation thanks to heavy praise from right-wing pundits.
Commentator Candace Owens danced along to the video Monday on her YouTube show, which was dedicated to the reception surrounding Trump’s mug shot.
“It’s just absolutely genius!” she said.
Donald Trump Jr. also applauded the song, calling it “hilarious.”
