But that changes today because I’m about to tell you all about this new thriller. Described as a ‘crime horror’ flick from Spike Lee protégé’ Michael A. Pinckney, the rundown for YOU’RE NOBODY ‘TIL SOMEBODY KILLS YOU reads:
“You’re Nobody ‘til somebody kills you” is an action packed and gritty story of two New York City homicide detectives that are forced into the high-stakes world of the hip hop industry. A complex web of murder, sex, money and music u…nfolds as the homicide detectives track a serial killer with an appetite for some of hip hop’s biggest stars.
Detective Charles Johnson a twenty-seven year veteran of the New York City Police force is on the heals of retirement when a killer strikes. The murders are not random acts of violence however; they’re by the hands of a serial killer whose victims happen to be some of the Rap industry’s biggest stars.
In an effort to catch the killer, Joseph Francelli, a young and hip detective from the special divisions is brought onto the case to assist Detective Johnson in protecting Manchild, a rising star, struggling with the decline of hip hop, causing him to re-evaluate his life.

The film is set to star Michael Kenneth Williams, Michael Mosley, Chance Kelly, Julito McCullum, James McDaniel, Limary Agosto, Al Thompson, Jordan Carlos, Jessica Blank, Big Daddy Kane, Nashawn Kearse, Keren Gilbert (below), Suzette Gunn and Tuffy Questell.
