About the artist
HAZEY, born Jefferson Andrew Hayes, is a rapper from Birkenhead, England, part of a wave of UK artists who built their audience through short-form video platforms rather than traditional label routes. His track «Packs and Potions» went viral toward the end of 2021, spreading widely on TikTok and introducing him to a much larger audience beyond his local scene.
That viral momentum translated into a recording contract with a major label, a trajectory shared by several UK rap artists whose breakout moments began online. His sound sits within contemporary UK rap and pop-leaning hip-hop, reflected in tracks like «Sturdy», «Glitch In The Game», «Trent», «Steppers» and «Bringing It Back».
HAZEY's rise illustrates how social media virality has reshaped entry points into the UK rap scene, turning a single viral clip into a sustained recording career. His catalogue continues to expand with releases that build on the energy and accessibility that first drew listeners to «Packs and Potions».
