Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard aka Dame D.O.L.L.A. dropped a 12-track rap album on Friday. He has released songs before, but this is his first album. It comes after a summer in which he performed his first concert on his birthday, and then he performed with DJ Esco for fans at an adidas event in Vegas.
The album, called The Letter O (which he explained stands for Oakland, Ogden and Oregon), features artists such as Lil Wayne and Jamie Foxx. And the first song is called Bill Walton. You can buy it on iTunes or stream it on Spotify/Apple Music.
The response from the NBA has been great.
Lil Wayne shouted out the album that he’s featured on.
The album is climbing the iTunes hip-hop chart. Maybe it’ll claim the top spot?
Lillard has also been addressing haters.
He says it was produced by some of the best.
If you want to read more about Lillard and his album, Bleacher Report published a huge longform about it. Additionally, he’s featured on Instagram’s Story that you can watch @instagram.
Many NBA players have tried and failed to become rappers, but it looks like Lillard actually has a successful music career ahead of him.
