Since his viral fame, the 17-year-old caught the attention of Columbia Records, part of Sony Music, and was signed by the label.

Working with Columbia Records he released a full version of Packs and Potions which has shot up the charts and is even listed on Apple Music's top hits alongside Adele, Ed Sheeran and The Weeknd.

On YouTube alone, the video has got more than 1,500,000 views in less than five days and is number 1 trending for music on the site.

While taking over the music charts, representatives for Hazey say he is still 'dominating' TikTok with more than 255 million impressions on the app.

Like many drill rappers, Hazey has chose to keep his identity hidden and wears a mask or balaclava on camera and social media.

It is thought that the teenager is from Anfield, where he chose to film most of his new music video on his home turf.

Some of the video, directed by Archie Erskine, is filmed outside of Anfield itself and infront of the Trent Alexander-Arnold mural at the corner of Sybil Street and Anfield Road.

Most recently the rapper has been spotted with Trent, after a video of the pair was posted on Hazey's social media accounts.

The video shows the two meeting in what looks like a gym.
