Damian Lillard previewing the album last night at Soho House in West Hollywood where he told the crowd he considers himself a seasoned rapper at this point, listening to criticisms to always improve on his craft. The NBA star says March's season-ending injury gave him time to beef up the album which boosts guest appearances from Rick Ross, Mozzy and longtime collaborator Lil Wayne who's appeared on ALL of Dame's albums thus far Several pro athletes also dabble in making hip-hop music, but Dame says he earned his stripes freestyling for "4-Bar Fridays" on IG before graduating to SoundCloud.
