In the raw, sun-soaked streets of Panama City, Florida, emerges a voice that blends pain, passion, and precision—meet $haydan, a self-made rapper whose journey is stitched together by struggle and self-expression. Since the age of 14, Shaydan has been writing lyrics that reflect both his personal experiences and the gritty realities of his environment. His first song, “Elevation”, was more than just a title—it was a declaration of intent: rise above, no matter the odds.
Inspired heavily by Kodak Black and the murky undercurrents of trap and dark pop, $haydan isn’t chasing trends—he’s crafting his own soundscape. His music is emotionally charged, yet sonically experimental, drawing in listeners who crave authenticity in every verse. Working closely with producer Aaronhertzmusic, $haydan has already built a local buzz with underground collaborations and a few hand-picked features from artists in his area.
A visionary in both lyrics and visuals, he writes all his own material and conceptualizes his music videos, ensuring each drop reflects his reality. Currently, he’s working on two music videos and a highly anticipated EP, scheduled to release in the next month or two. Though his last release came five months ago, fans are eagerly awaiting what’s next from the rapper whose sights are set on Los Angeles and beyond.
Despite being unsigned, $haydan remains open to opportunities, whether it’s a record or distribution deal. Supported firmly by his community, he dreams of touring with the likes of Bossman DLow and performing in front of thousands—far beyond the crowd of 100 he once rocked. In five years, he sees himself fully established in the industry, not just as an artist but as a force.
