Damian Lillard, known for releasing four bars of his own lyrics every Friday, has released a full track for the first time. The track is called “Soldier in the Game” and the name he has chosen to go by is Dame DOLLA (DOLLA standing for Different On Levels the Lord Allows). The track is to the beat of F*** Up Some Commas by the rapper Future, who performed at Lillard’s unveiling of the D Lillard 1 back in January.
