When Damian Lillard first stepped into the Sway in the Morning booth he cracked the mic with a great freestyle that was far more intellectual than most of the trash on the radio. Now, the Portland Trail Blazers guard has returned to Shade45 to bless another mic with more than just bars — although the bars were nice.
Coming off a dominating 129-109 win over the Nets, Lillard stopped by Sway in the Morning with @sobrantedanny and @brookfielddeuce to freestyle and announce his new music label Front Page Music. His debut album The Letter O, released under the monicker Dame D.O.L.L.A. (Different on Levels the Lord Allows), dropped less than a month ago and now I’m definitely going to pick it up.
Check out his latest interview and freestyle at Sway in the Morning, to which Gary Busey was witness (and he loved it), and make sure to have a listen at his first SITM freestyle below that. Are you feeling Dame’s bars? There have been so many wack athletes turned rappers, but Dame ain’t one of them. Let us know what you think in the comments.
