Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard, a.k.a. "Dame DOLLA," can spit. He proved it with his freestyle on Sway In the Morning and with his #MusicMonday releases in which he has rapped over Future's "Fuck Up Some Commas," Common's "The Food," Jada's "Why," and Meek Mill's "The Trillest."

A couple weeks ago, we talked to Lillard about the negative response athletes get whenever they put out music, amongst other things. He doesn't have that problem, though, because the response he has received from rap fans has been fairly positive, as you can see in the video above.

According to Lillard, his cousin Brookfield Duece brought him out to perform at Holocene, a club in Portland, last night. He hit the stage to give the crowd a taste of their song "I Wish I Could Tell You," and the reaction was good.

Lillard even hit 'em with some dance moves.

Is Dame DOLLA the next Shaq Fu? We hope so. The NBA rap game hasn't recovered from A.I.'s "40 Bars" fiasco. Stream his #MusicMonday tape below.
