The viral track “Packs and Potions” was released 3 weeks ago after the Liverpool rapper went viral on social media site Tiktok with his verse on a u-18 BlackBox cypher, which was originally uploaded on YouTube. The freestyle was uploaded onto streaming sites under the title “Lone Ranger” and managed to reach 61st in the official charts after picking up 3.4 million streams on Spotify alone.

The video for the official track sits on 3.8 million views just 3 weeks after release, and on the Liverpool rapper’s own channel.  It also found itself at 26th on the official charts on its debut week before jumping 8 places to 18th on the second week. The release of the remix at midnight will hopefully aid the track to fly up the charts.

The remix of “Packs and Potions” has a very impressive feature list, the first feature Digga D is one of the biggest rappers not only in the drill scene but in the UK scene as a whole. The west London rapper kicked off 2022 with the release of his highly anticipated track “Pump 101” and managed to earn his 3rd top 10 with the track debuting on the charts at 9th. Unknown T is the next feature, and after a year that saw the rapper saw release a top 10 project but also sell out a nationwide tour and a feature in the Louis Vuitton campaign, the remix will be the rapper’s first appearance of 2022. M1llionz is the final feature, with the northwest Birmingham rapper appearing on the track for the first time since the release of his GRM daily duppy in December 2021.

The features on the upcoming remix includes a number of rappers from different areas of the UK, all with very unique styles and flows. The remix is set to release at midnight and with the original being available to listen to here.

The Liverpool teen went viral earlier this month with his verse on a BlackBox u-18 cypher; the jumpy flow and memorable lyrics made the verse a perfect fit for social media sites such as TikTok and went viral overnight with the rapper being urged to release the full track.

The rapper’s popularity surged when he was quickly snapped up by music giants Sony Music, home to Headie One, J Hus and Russ Millions. From signing the deal, it was a matter of a week before the freestyle became a full track titled “Packs and Potions” alongside a video shot in the rapper’s home city, Liverpool, at a number of spots including the mural of another young Liverpool star, Trent Alexander Arnolds.

Football references were sewn throughout the rapper’s freestyle with lines such as “I’m on the block like Werner”,” Them olders are washed like Sami Khedira” and “When they need more I’m right back like I’m Trent”. Within a matter of weeks of releasing his freestyle and signing with Sony, Music Hazey was meeting with his Liverpudlian idol, Trent Alexander Arnold.
