Hustle and Drone has quickly become renowned for its distinctive & somewhat unconventional approach, and has now unveiled an exceptional mash-up of sorts featuring NBA star Damian Lillard by the title of "Again & Again." As frontman Ryan Neighbors elaborates, "Damian Lillard has been posting videos of himself rapping for four bars every Friday, which he refers to as '4 Bar Friday'. I myself am a huge Blazers & Damian Lillard fan, and on top of that, he has a great flow and really cool rhymes. So I decided to go through all of them, pick the ones that flow together, and make a song out of them." Check out the Complex-premiered
