History

Historical Context

The genre-blending soundtrack model began with Judgment Night (1993) and Spawn (1997) and was cemented by Blade II’s 2002 album, which featured dozens of hip-hop artists and peaked at number 26 on the Billboard 200. That legacy informs Tom Hardy’s August 2026 Czarface Meets Frankie Pulitzer release, as labels like Silver Age use comic-book tie-ins to boost streaming.
