Tom Hardy has hard-launched his surprise debut album, Czarface Meets Frankie Pulitzer.
The actor turned rapper released his first musical collection after his impressive career in the acting field.
On Monday, August 31st, media verified that Tom released his full-length rap album with hip-hop supergroup Czarface, not performing under his famous name.
Instead, the actor steps behind the mic as his mysterious rap alter ego, Frankie Pulitzer.
The Venom actor launched Czarface Meets Frankie Pulitzer on Friday, August 28th; the debut rap album includes 15 tracks and runs for about 47 minutes.
Czarface consists of Wu-Tang Clan member Inspectah Deck and hip-hop duo 7L & Esoteric. The project also features appearances from Busta Rhymes, Method Man and El-P.
Notably, Tom performs throughout the album as Frankie Pulitzer, a masked character he has quietly used for years.
Fans can hear the persona on Czarface’s official Brothers Grimm video, which arrived ahead of the album.
The American actor also brings some of his movie history into the music.
While the Peaky Blinders actor has never publicly confirmed his Frankie Pulitzer musical alter ego, Hardy has been secretly collaborating with Czarface as the anonymous rapper under this moniker since 2021.
Fans' reaction on Tom Hardy's debut album
As the new album gained momentum on social media, fans expressed their excitement over the new album, with one saying, "Ok Tom Hardy bro can rap."
"This man said fk a Taboo season 2 let me give you these bane bars instead," another added.
While a third noted, "Dropping this track the same week of Busta's DILLAGENCE II album was impeccable timing."
Czarface Meets Frankie Pulitzer not only brings Tom Hardy together with the underground group for his first studio album but is packed with cinematic, comic-book and literary references.
In addition to guest verses from rap heavyweights like Method Man and Busta Rhymes, Hardy's latest album leans into his famous acting background, turning it into a pop-culture scavenger hunt packed with references to comic book characters like the Green Goblin & Thor and popular movies like Misery, Titanic and Dog Day Afternoon.
