Czarface and Frankie Pulitzer have an album due later in August called Czarface Meets Frankie Pulitzer, HotNewHipHop reported on August 6. A song credited to the pairing, All It Takes Is One Bad Day, is already out, with Inspectah Deck delivering bars alongside Frankie Pulitzer.

Frankie Pulitzer is the rap alias actor Tom Hardy records under, and HotNewHipHop says he has been rapping under the name for some time, with real command of the mic. Czarface, the rap supergroup built around Inspectah Deck, has folded him into an even bigger lineup for the project.

HotNewHipHop dates the album's release for August 28. The record lands in our hip-hop coverage and on the release calendar.

Hardy raps with characteristic bravado on the track: "I was handling my business, I barely spoke," he raps, "they was speaking out my name, now the bear is woke." Inspectah Deck matches him bar for bar, continuing Czarface's tradition of pairing Wu-Tang pedigree with unconventional guest MCs.
