Tesla CEO Elon Musk has dropped a new rap single on Soundcloud dedicated to Harambe, the beloved Cincinnati gorilla who was killed in 2016 after grabbing a toddler that fell into his enclosure. Musk debuted the single, entitled ‘RIP Harambe,’ on Twitter, posting a link to the Soundcloud page for his label, Emo G Records. The 1-minute, 56-second track features an artist who appears to be Musk singing “RIP Harambe, sipping on some Bombay, we on our way to heaven, Amen, Amen,” and “RIP Harambe, smoking on some strong, hey, in the gorilla zoo and we thinking about you.” It’s unclear why the notoriously erratic CEO posted a song three years after Harambe’s death, or if Emo G Records will release more songs in the future.
