Amaré's portfolio

Amaré Stoudemire has merged his music label, Hypocalypto Entertainment, and sports- and entertainment-management company, Above Currency Management, to fall under the umbrella of Grand Hustle Entertainment, run by rapper T.I.

Stoudemire is pushing the career of Phoenix hip-hop artist Juice, who was signed by rapper The Game's label, but wants to represent athletes, too.

"For myself and T.I., we got people with the right connections to put people in positions to prosper," said Stoudemire, who is combining with T.I. and singer Keri Hilson for some All-Star weekend events. "I know what it takes. I've had a few different representatives so I know what players need from experience."

Stoudemire is on his fourth management team.
