Antonio Brown has recently released his first album entitled ‘Paradigm’. The album was released on the 20th of April or famously known as 4/20. AB started working on his album ever since he left the MetLife Stadium during his Week 17 game against the New York Jets after a sideline meltdown.

Kanye West has helped the former highest-paid WR in the NFL to make his debut in the music industry. And now that his album has been liked by many, AB feels excited about his second project.

AB has a message for everyone

“Like I’m not saying I’m him, but I’m not them,” he added. “I’m just giving people the opportunities to, you know, be in free space and do whatever is best for them. I’m not saying everyone’s gonna be a rapper. To me. I’m just saying, ‘Be your best.’ So, have a goal. Not let anyone tell you what you can’t do. And I could do that.”
