Have you heard Tom Hardy’s mixtape?

Before he became a big movie and TV star (have you binged Peaky Blinders yet on Netflix? Do it!), Tom Hardy had musical aspirations.

In 1999, he recorded a rap mixtape that has been floating in limbo ever since. But then earlier this month, someone called DJ Eddie Too Tall, Tom’s collaborator on the project, uploaded the tape to Bandcamp (it’s since been removed) with the note “Made in a bedroom 1999. These mixtapes were never really finished. Lyrics written and performed by Tom Hardy. Music written and produced by Ed Tracy.”
