Movie star Tom Hardy has entered the hip-hop scene with his new collaborative album, "Czarface Meets Frankie Pulitzer." Performing as Frankie Pulitzer, Hardy teamed up with the renowned rap supergroup Czarface, comprising 7L & Esoteric and Inspectah Deck from the Wu-Tang Clan. This project showcases Hardy's lyrical talents, weaving in a rich tapestry of film and comic book allusions.
Hardy, who previously portrayed Bane in "The Dark Knight Rises" and Venom in multiple films, brings his cinematic background to his verses. Songs like "Raw Forever" feature nods to Martin Scorsese's "Bringing Out the Dead," Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin, Doctor Doom, Sergeant Rock, and "Dog Day Afternoon." Another track, "Mad Technology," references Stephen King's "Cujo" and "Misery," alongside mentions of Thor and Shameik Moore.
Further demonstrating his versatility, Hardy recited a "Richard III" monologue in a Bane-like voice on "Grim-Visaged War" and included a "Titanic" reference in "Gnawing at My Rhyme Like a Poisonous Rat." This isn't Hardy's first foray into music; he has previously contributed to Czarface albums and released loose singles. He also recorded an unreleased album titled "Falling on Your Arse in 1999" under the moniker Tommy No 1.
