Hayden Inacio, known professionally as Bankrol Hayden, is a hip‑hop artist, singer, songwriter, YouTube creator, and social media personality from Modesto, California. He is signed to Atlantic Records and has become known for his melodic style, introspective lyrics, and strong social media presence.

Hayden began making music at a young age and first gained attention in 2017 when he launched his YouTube channel and shared the music video for “Ride With You,” a freestyle over OutKast’s “Ms. Jackson.” His early work drew an immediate following online and helped him build a loyal audience.

In June 2020, he dropped his debut studio album Pain is Temporary, featuring collaborations with Lil Baby, Polo G, and The Kid Laroi, which charted on the Billboard 200. He followed this with his second album 29 in March 2023, and his third studio project Middle Of Somewhere was released in September 2025, further showcasing his growth and versatility as a recording artist.

Bankrol Hayden’s music spans hip‑hop and trap with an emotional, narrative‑driven edge, blending catchy hooks with reflections on personal struggle and success. Over the years, he’s collaborated with artists such as Lil Tecca, Blueface, Lil Skies, OHGEESY, and Maxo Kream, solidifying his presence in contemporary hip‑hop.
