Video: Hustle & Drone x Damian Lillard, "Again & Again"

By MATTHEW SINGER

Well, It was only a matter of time before someone set Damian Lillard's #4BarFriday verses to a beat, and we probably should've guessed Portland synth-pop maestros Hustle and Drone would be the ones to do it. After all, the group's last video was actually shot on the court inside an empty Moda Center.

For the uninitiated, since last year Lillard has hosted a weekly Instagram-based rap battle, in which participants contribute short verses, with a winner picked by the Blazers guard himself. Lillard even hosted a live #4BarFriday event at this year's NBA All-Star Weekend in New Orleans. 

Hustle and Drone mashed together a few of Lillard's own verses over their signature electro-pop production, slapped on a chorus and then added a minute-long loop of Dame's buzzer-beating series winner over the Rockets...because, y'know, you really can never watch that enough. Check it out below, then watch the Lillard and the Blazers in their pre-season home opener against Utah tonight:
