It seems to bring about a diverse array of emotional states: relief, gratitude, confusion, a desire for revenge … This all makes for some great music. In no particular order, these are my 5 favourite songs recorded by artists immediately after being released: (1) Kodak Black - First Day Out (2017) “First day out, gave my Momma $100k” (2) Tee Grizzley - First Day Out (2016) “My first offer was 30 years not a day lower I told them crackers holler at me when they’re sober” (3) Gucci Mane - First Day Out (2009) “Did you miss me? Or miss my raps bitch?” (4) 2Pac - Ambitionz Az a Ridah (1996) “I’ve been hesitant to reappear, been away for years Now I’m back my adversaries been reduced to tears” (5) Gucci Mane - First Day Out The Feds (2016) “They call me crazy so much, I think I'm starting to believe them I did some things to some people that was down right evil”
