Tom Hardy has released a new collaborative album titled “Czarface Meets Frankie Pulitzer” with the underground rap supergroup Czarface, which comprises producers 7L & Esoteric and Wu-Tang Clan member Inspectah Deck. The project marks Hardy’s continuation of work under his recording alias Frankie Pulitzer.
Throughout the album, Hardy incorporates numerous references to his film background and broader entertainment culture. On the track “Raw Forever,” he references multiple films and comic book properties, including Martin Scorsese’s “Bringing Out the Dead,” Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin character from “Spider-Man,” Doctor Doom, and Sidney Lumet’s “Dog Day Afternoon.” The verses demonstrate familiarity with both mainstream and cult cinema, drawing connections between his rap content and the characters he has portrayed on screen.
Another song, “Mad Technology,” contains references to Stephen King adaptations “Cujo” and “Misery,” as well as mentions of Marvel’s Thor and actor Shameik Moore, who has appeared in Spider-Verse films and the drama “Dope.” On the track “Grim-Visaged War,” Hardy performs Shakespeare’s famous monologue from “Richard III” in a vocal style reminiscent of his Bane character. The album also includes a “Titanic” reference on “Gnawing at My Rhyme Like a Poisonous Rat.”
Hardy has previously collaborated with Czarface on other projects and recorded music earlier in his career. Under the moniker Tommy No 1, he released an album called “Falling on Your Arse in 1999” with producer Edward Tracy in the late 1990s, though the record remained unreleased until it surfaced online in 2018. Hardy has not publicly commented on his music work as Frankie Pulitzer.
