Hackle (born October 14, 2000), also known as Hackledown, is an American recording artist hailing from San Jose, California.

Citing Divine Council and Sickboyrari as primary influences, Hackle began making music in December 2020 under the alias “Burlapper”, solely releasing two songs—“I See Burlap” and “Hunted Down”—that he later took down. In a February 2022 interview with Masked Gorilla, he described the process of how he started making music:

Nah, I always like, wanted to be like an artist and I fucking sucked every time I tried, like I sucked fucking ass, and then I linked up with [Sematary] and he just like hella put me on like to shit, and now I can finally make some like, good shit that I like.

In February 2021, Hackle joined Sematary’s collective Haunted Mound after meeting each other through Instagram.

Nearly a year after dropping the Burlapper pseudonym, in October 2021, he made his debut under Hackle as a feature on Sematary’s song, “REDWOODS.”
