Tom Hardy Releases 'Brothers Grimm' Ahead of August Rap Album

3 articles · Updated · The Guardian · Jun 29

Summary

  • “Brothers Grimm,” the first single from Tom Hardy’s rap album “Czarface Meets Frankie Pulitzer,” has been released ahead of the full album’s August launch.
  • Czarface — Inspectah Deck, 7L and Esoteric — feature on the track, with Hardy rapping as Frankie Pulitzer and drawing on a collaboration that dates back at least to their 2021 “Good Guys, Bad Guys” EP.
  • Hardy’s move is less abrupt than it appears: he recorded under the name Tommy No 1 in 1999 and also appeared as Pulitzer alongside Method Man on “Knull & Void” in “Venom: The Last Dance” credits.
  • The release marks Hardy’s clearest bid yet to be taken seriously as a rapper, extending a music sideline alongside his established acting career.
