Spike Lee‘s newest project is sure to have some serious hip-hop ties.  You’re Nobody ‘Til Somebody Kills You, the newest Spike Lee joint, isn’t set to premiere until September, but an obvious rap influence has helped create some buzz.  In addition to appearances from hip-hop staples Doug E. Fresh, Big Daddy Kane and Ed Lover, the title of the movie is drawn from Notorious B.I.G.’s track, “You’re Nobody“, off his album Life After Death.  The film pits two NYC homicide detectives at odds with a serial killer who is murdering some of the hip-hop game’s brightest stars.  I’m sure y’all don’t need any impetus to go see a Spike Lee production, but if it helps the film debuts at the Williamsburg International Film Festival.  To be fair Spike is executive producing the film, while Michael A. Pinckney will handle the directing, but I’m game either way.
