The veteran Boston indie rapper Esoteric really collects unlikely collaborators. Back when John Cena was early in his wrestling career and doing a rap-battle gimmick, Esoteric was a big part of that. Much more recently, Kurt Vile shouted out Czarface, Esoteric’s group with longtime partner 7L and Wu-Tang Clan member Inspectah Deck, in a Pitchfork “Perfect 10” video, which led to Esoteric jumping onstage with Vile at a Boston show and spitting bars over “Bassackwards.” Czarface’s upcoming album Czarface Meets Frankie Pulitzer has an El-P feature, which is only unlikely if you remember El-P mercilessly going after 7L & Esoteric on Aesop Rock’s “We’re Famous” in 2003. And then there’s the actual Frankie Pulitzer of that upcoming album. You probably know him better as Tom Hardy.
