Eshu Tune (Hannibal Buress) is Getting Stronger, Releases New Single “I Lift Weights”

Hannibal Buress has a role in Spider-Man: Homecoming. The Chicago-born actor and comedian has achieved the nearly unthinkable: a successful and respected career in Hollywood. He can tour around the globe, and hook onto any franchise. He’s made his career and he’s good at what he does. So, why then, one might wonder, would Buress ever venture into some other new project? Why risk rocking the boat? Well, because he wants to rock the crowd. That’s right, for the past year-plus Buress has been putting his nose to the grindstone, sharpening his chops in another art form: music.

Under the moniker Eshu Tune, he’s been producing beats, writing rhymes, and weaving them both into his live shows. These days, he says, he’s done “way more” music performances than comedy. Like a bodybuilder, Buress has been strengthening new muscles. Perhaps then, it’s no coincidence that his newest song is titled “I Lift Weights,” and it’s out today (June 5).
