Long before becoming an Oscar-nominated actor, British star Tom Hardy was chasing a rap career, and now he’s teaming up with Czarface to revive it.<\/p>\n

Rapping under the name Frankie Pulitzer a.k.a. Face Puller, Hardy will be releasing the new album\u00a0Czarface Meets Frankie Pulitzer<\/em>. The collaboration with the supergroup Czarface,\u00a0comprised of Inspectah Deck, 7L and Esoteric, was first teased this past June.<\/p>\n

Using an American accent, Hardy hinted at something to come<\/a> in a video shared on Czarface’s Instagram, promising “all will be revealed soon.”<\/p>\n

On June 25, the first single “Brothers Grimm” was released, as well as the announcement for a full length album.<\/p>\n

While the news could seem left field, Hardy actually started rapping as a teenager and signed a record deal when he was just 15 under the rap name Tommy No. 1. He even made an 18-track mixtape titled Falling On Your Arse<\/em> in 1999, but it was ultimately shelved.<\/p>\n

He later admitted in a 2011 interview with BBC<\/a><\/em>, \u201cBecause I come from a nice middle-class neighborhood, it was a very hard sell. And I wasn\u2019t very good.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the time, he asserted his rapping would return “in a film one day” or “a character somewhere,” and now in 2026, Frankie Pulitzer is here to make good on the promise.<\/p>\n

The joint album Czarface Meets Frankie Pulitzer<\/em> will feature 15 tracks and appearances from Busta Rhymes, Method Man and El-P. Get ready to listen on Aug. 28 when it drops.<\/p>\n
