The man, Damian Lillard, who also goes by Dame D.O.L.L.A., unleashed a new track, "And Still," on Thursday for his 36th birthday. It's not just a celebration, it's a piece of his upcoming "Houston, We Have A Problem" project, giving fans a surprise drop while they wait for his next act on the court.
Dame's Got Rhymes and Rings, Kinda
Lillard is a nine-time All-Star and seven-time All-NBA player, a legitimate superstar in this league. He's averaged 25.1 points and 6.7 assists across his 13 NBA seasons. Everyone knows he's deadly with a basketball, but his music career as Dame D.O.L.L.A. is seriously legit too. He's always been about more than just the game, showing off that talent both on and off the hardwood.The Long Road Back to Portland
It's been a wild ride for Lillard lately. After spending his first 11 seasons in Portland, he was traded to the Milwaukee Bucks for two years. Then came the gut punch: a torn left Achilles tendon during the 2025 playoffs, which completely sidelined him for the entire 2025-26 season. But here's the twist: during that 2025 offseason, Lillard signed a three-year contract to return to Portland. The Blazers actually made the playoffs last year as a No. 7 seed, so the team's on an upswing. Now, after that injury and a whole season off, fans are desperate to see him back in action, especially with his old team finding some momentum. So while we're all jamming to "And Still," the real question everyone's buzzing about is when we'll see Dame lighting it up on the court again in Rip City. His return could seriously shake things up for a Blazers team that's already looking good.This article was created with AI assistance and reviewed by Seattle On Tap editorial staff.
