Damian Lillard is coming off of one of his best individual seasons of his NBA career and, by far, the best season for his team as the Blazers made it all the way to the Western Conference Finals a few months back.

The star guard made his fourth All-Star appearance along with second-team All-NBA, which earned him a supermax extension in Portland that will keep him there through most of his prime. It’s been a busy offseason for Dame, inking a new extension and also putting the finishing touches on his third studio album, Big D.O.L.L.A, which is set to release this Friday, August 9.

On Wednesday, Lillard revealed the cover art for his album along with the full track list on Twitter. The cover art features him sitting on a Bentley with his son, Damian Jr., in a Bentley Power Wheels next to him. The track list has 10 songs, including the opener to the album, “Sorry,” featuring Lil Wayne, as he has on each of his two previous albums as well. .....(Continued)

Obviously he is doing it for my birthday.

The 10th would be better!

 

[PDXFonz]

Own his first two, will buy this one as well. I like many songs off of both albums but overall Letter-O > Confirmed

Hopefully his third stays as strong as the first two!

 

[CupWizier]

The 10th would be better!

lol, is yours the 10th? Seems we have several Leos in the forum. My family is full of them as my wife's is the 2nd, my sisters is the 3rd, my son is today the 7th and mine is the 9th.

 

[Labinot41]

Dame a real gangster

Seems like the cold winter was a good time for conception, lol.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Thanksgiving is how my oldest was made.

 

[CupWizier]

Thanksgiving is how my oldest was made.

So I take it you had a good thanksgiving and had more than a feast.

 

[BonesJones]

I think I heard a snippet of "Sorry" on an IG livestream about a year ago, and if its what I'm thinking of then itll be his best song yet (by far). And thats saying something.

 

[CupWizier]

Lillard should have done a revised rap version of NSYNC's Bye Bye Bye as a tribute to our OKC series and Westbrook.

 

[illmatic99]

Listening to some of the samples on social today from some of his tracks, a lot of it sounds the same as usual from him-- not seeing the growth.

Topics in verbatim:

- I've got money
- I'm good at hooping
- I came from the hood

I suppose he doesn't have much else to rap about, but this is leaving me disappointed so far. Like his Bagley diss was legit cool-- this overproduced stuff, meh.

Waiting for the album to drop to make final claims.

 

[Haakzilla]

Meh.

 

[PDXFonz]

Meh.

Yeah... I’ll still buy it but sounds like it might be his weakest of the 3.

 

[illmatic99]

Did not enjoy this at all. Listened to the whole thing last night and on my drive this morning, and am disappointed after all the hype.

He sounds the same in like every track, and it's just too slow for my taste. Even the Wayne feature is weak.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

He sounds the same in like every track,

This has always been my impression of every Dame clip. I'm not a rap aficionado, so my opinion is of little value, but that's my take.

 

[Hoopguru]

This has always been my impression of every Dame clip. I'm not a rap aficionado, so my opinion is of little value, but that's my take.

Im not a huge listener of rap, but isn't the idea to sound the same on each clip? Isn't that how one puts his unique sound/brand/name/trademark on the product? What can change is the rhythm, beat, harmony etc.
