Antonio Brown Say His Next Rap Album Will Only Feature Athletes

April 26, 2022

Antonio Brown may be fresh off the release of his debut album, Paradigm, which finds the former NFL wideout-turned-rapper flexing his talents alongside stars like DaBaby, Young Thug, Fivio Foreign, and Keyshia Cole. But he’s already preparing for a follow-up effort, which AB says will see him taking a different approach in terms of collaborators.

During a run-in with TMZ, Brown revealed his intention to use his next album as a platform for other athletes with aspirations of showcasing their artistry. “We want to give every athlete a chance to be creative,” Brown said, noting that his next album will solely feature athletes and will be in stark contrast to Paradigm, which boasted a star-studded list of rap and R&B acts. “We just want to give premier athletes the opportunity to express themselves, be themselves. I know a lot of players that do it on their own that may not put it out.”

When the interviewer makes a comparison between AB’s aspirations to merge the sports and Hip-Hop worlds with NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal’s own successful run as a rapper, the former All-Pro is in full agreement with the assessment. “Absolutely,” Brown says in response. “Shaq was the only athlete that made a successful album that actually went platinum. And he still was a great player. He changed the fact of athletes being one-dimensional.”
