Phoenix Suns center Amar’e Stoudemire celebrated the merge of his record label Hypocalypto Entertainment with a private dinner party at Justin’s on Saturday. Special invited guests included: T.I., Killer Mike, Big Kuntry, Lisa Leslie (WNBA), Ovie (Falcons), D. Woods, Drumma Boy, Deon Grant, and more.
Amar’e introduced his new artist, Juice to industry veterans. After the dinner party, Amar’e hosted The UNION Party at Dreamz ATL where he was surrounded by a bevy of beautiful women.
Hypocalypto Ent. merged with Grand Hustle under a deal that will see the sports star and the rap star coming together and building a force to be reckoned with in the music industry and sports.
Both men plan to start a record label and a sports entertainment company together and they are in talks to open different properties together.
Stoudemire and T.I. came from similar backgrounds from the bottom up. Growing up in Florida was rough for Amar’e whose mother was arrested multiple times before he was a teenager. His father died when he was young. Yet Amar’e has never been arrested and he was able to land solidly on his two feet.
He bounced around to different high schools before being drafted straight into the NBA by the Suns where he won the NBA Rookie of the Year Award in 2003. Amar’e, who is single, gives back to his community through his Each One Teach One Foundation in Phoenix.
Amar’e also signed a consulting deal with MusicBusinessPolitics (MBP) which is based in Atlanta.
The female owned company will oversee all the All-Star Weekend events in Phoenix, Arizona for Amar’e and Grand Hustle, which means there will be opportunities for lucky sandrarose.com readers to gain All-Access to the All-Star parties!
