Tom Hardy Releases Debut Rap Album as Frankie Pulitzer, Uses His Bane Voice on New Track

  • On Friday, actor Tom Hardy released his collaborative album 'Czarface Meets Frankie Pulitzer' with underground rap supergroup Czarface, featuring duo 7L & Esoteric and Wu-Tang Clan's Inspectah Deck.
  • Production on the album has been underway since at least 2021, with rumors of a musical partnership emerging three years ago when Busta Rhymes visited Hardy on the set of 'Venom: The Last Dance'.
  • Hardy peppers the 15-track debut with dense pop culture references to Marvel and Martin Scorsese films, and on 'Grim-Visaged War,' he recites Shakespeare's 'Richard III' monologue in his 'The Dark Knight Rises' Bane voice.
  • Guest spots from rappers Method Man and EL-P highlight the release, with Hardy showcasing his range by referencing 'Titanic' and DiCaprio in 'Gnawing at My Rhyme Like a Poisonous Rat' and focusing on Stephen King literary references elsewhere.
  • Hardy has recorded music since the millennium and is no stranger to hip-hop. He previously told BBC Radio that his gravelly style draws inspiration from Busta Rhymes and Richard Burton.
