Description

As a young artist with great aspirations, Nate Harris was determined to get rich or die tryin; he was driven to be somebody. In rap's hottest city, Miami, home of South Beach, sunshine and sex appeal, Know Thy Enemy chronicles one man's rise from the streets of the 305 to the top of the billboard charts. Nemesis (Nate) is pressured into becoming a stereotypical gangster rapper in order to get signed and achieve success. Fame quickly follows, but at a price; inundated with drugs, sex, guns and money, his life is at stake and he questions if getting rich and winning the game is worth dying for.

    After seeing the trailer, and especially liking the instrumental track briefly played after the Lionsgate Logo, I had to check this movie out. It was really well done! This movie has a powerful message to give to those watching, about how Sleazy record label exec’s manipulate, and take advantage of artists, to benefit themselves! Most of everything in between is very well put together! It would be nice if the soundtrack was available. Imdb only lists one track! I would like the name of the track just after the Lionsgate Logo playing it the trailer!!!!
  • Pleasant surprise!

    I watch a lot of movies, and this came highly recommended.. I have to admit I am not a fan of the hip hop genre and the poster for this movie really says nothing about the film.. The film is very deep in the way it covers untouched areas in which most filmmakers stay away from.. The movie really touches on the way artists especially hip hop/rap stars are created.. They live this scripted lives created by record execs to feed on what sells: HATE, Murder, Money, and a hard life.. Definitely check this film out.. This film has a great story, great acting and the cinematography looks great..
