<p>While Tom Hardy has solidified himself as one of Hollywood&#8217;s most consistent leading men, starring in <em>Batman: The Dark Knight Rises, </em><em>The Revenant, Mad Max: Fury Road,</em> and the upcoming <em>Venom, </em>his past was actually linked with hip-hop music. <a href="http://www.xxlmag.com/news/2016/01/tom-hardy-best-hip-hop-moments/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">According to XXL</a>, the talented British actor was actually signed to a record deal when he was a teenager, stating &#8220;I used to be with the guy who managed Leela James and <a href="/profile/OfficialLaurynHill" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Lauryn Hill</a>, Pras, the Fugees and all that. I worked out with (Grammy winning producers) Warren Riker and Gordon Williams. I&#8217;ve recorded loads of stuff but it&#8217;s never been released.&#8221;<em> </em></p>




<p>Now, a user on <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/hiphopheads/comments/7r9e79/fresh_tom_hardys_unfinished_album_from_1999/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">r/hiphopheads </a>has unearthed what is reported to be Tom Hardy&#8217;s unreleased and unfinished hip-hop album, available for streaming and downloading on <a href="https://tootall.bandcamp.com/releases" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Bandcamp here</a>. According to <a href="https://noisey.vice.com/en_ca/article/59wa3d/tom-hardys-rap-mixtape-from-1999-is-actually-kind-of-fire?utm_source=nt" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Noisey</a>, Edward Tracy (aka Eddie Too Tall) uploaded the album earlier this month. The project, titled <em>Falling On Your Arse In 1999, </em>finds Hardy rapping under the moniker of Tommy No 1, collaborating with an artist by the name of Eddie Too Tall. The project has a lo-fi, jazzy aesthetic, clocking in at a sizeable eighteen tracks; it&#8217;s actually kinda fire, especially if you&#8217;re into raw, underground hip-hop. If you&#8217;re a fan of the actor&#8217;s work, or simply looking for a glimpse into the creative mind of a young artist, be sure to check out the project in full.</p>




<p>Tom Hardy has yet to speak on the album&#8217;s arrival, but hopefully he appreciates the fan love it&#8217;s been receiving. In other news, the first still of Tom Hardy playing &#8220;Venom&#8221; can be seen by hitting the link above.</p>
