  "account": "Czarface, a rap supergroup consisting of 7L & Esoteric and Wu-Tang Clan's Inspectah Deck, has released a new album titled \"Czarface Meets Frankie Pulitzer.\" The album features a variety of guest appearances, including Busta Rhymes, Method Man, and EL-O. However, the star of the show is Frankie Pulitzer, better known as Tom Hardy. Hardy, the actor from the Dark Knight Rises, brings his unique brand of \"mad multiversal science\" to the track \"Raw Forever.\"\n\nThe song is a thumping four-part flow, with each guest setting the stage for Hardy's appearance. Some of the notable references in the track include nods to Martin Scorsese, Frank Pierce from the 1999 film Bringing Out The Dead, Willem Dafoe, Dog Day Afternoon, and Sgt. Rock, the DC Comics war hero. The video for the song features a Batman Halloween mask and references the villain Doctor Doom from Venom: The Last Dance and Marvel Comics' King In Black saga.\n\nHardy is no stranger to rap; he has been recording with Czarface since 2021 and featured on their soundtrack for the 2021 Venom sequel, Let There Be Carnage. Hardy's dedication to the rap game is evident, and \"Raw Forever\" is a testament to his passion for the art form.",
