Damian Lillard and his music

Damian Lillard #0 warms up before a game.

Damian Lillard is arguably the best emcee to put on basketball shoes in the game today. Though more popular as a basketball player with an agent handling all his contractual obligations, his record label, Front Page Music, handles the music side.

In 2016, Damian Lillard dropped "The Letter O". "Confirmed" followed a year after. He later released "Big D.O.L.L.A.," his critically acclaimed album that cemented his stature as a legit hip-hop star.

In anticipation of his fourth album's Thursday release, Lillard also released a new shoe under Adidas which he tweeted a few days earlier, including a link to the site in order for fans to get their shoe game on.

It’s album launch week for me, so you know I had to drop another one of my #DameDOLLA collabs with ///.

Let me know what y’all think of the @adidasoriginals x Dame D.O.L.L.A. NMD_R1. The D.O.L.L.A. NMDs are available in both adults and kids sizes.

One will notice a different colorway and how it may not be a basketball shoe. The shoe also includes Damian Lillard's rap logo, which is prominently featured on the tongue.

Lillard also previously released his single, "The Juice," in early August.

It's been quite a whirlwind of an offseason for the Portland Trail Blazers star. He recently won an Olympic gold medal for basketball with Team USA and is gearing up for the upcoming NBA season.

The release of his new album is just the latest of his endeavors as Lillard shows his fans different facets to his personality.
