VEXXILLE (born Kaleb Rasmussen on December 20, 1998) is an American underground musician, rapper, and visual artist known for his genre-blending approach and emotionally raw lyricism. He gained local attention through his involvement in the 5150 SYNDICATE collective and has performed with a variety of underground acts across the western United States.
Early life and career
[edit]VEXXILLE began professionally releasing music in early 2019 at the age of 20, after moving from Salt Lake City back to his hometown of Heber City, Utah. He lived in a shed behind his parents' house, where he began collaborating with his younger brother, Sawyer Rasmussen. Together they formed the underground music and merchandise collective known as 5150 SYNDICATE. With the support of Sawyer, as well as artists like Dirty Chino from Dogma Society and his cousin Gateway Mafia, VEXXILLE released his debut mixtape, Terminal vol. 1.
Loss of his brother and musical growth
[edit]In early December 2020, Sawyer Rasmussen died from an accidental fentanyl overdose. Following his brother's death, VEXXILLE devoted himself to music in his honor. On February 14, 2021 — Sawyer’s birthday — VEXXILLE released the single "Triple 7", reflecting on his grief and the emotional impact of his brother’s passing.
Later that year, he released the album Vade, followed by the EP REDUXX. In November 2021, he opened for Black Smurf in a live performance alongside Dogma Society. In January 2022, he released the alternative album Vesper, and in March 2022, he performed with underground artist Nascar Aloe.
Continued success and live performances
[edit]Following these releases, VEXXILLE expanded his presence in the local scene. He released the EP Bleach and joined the 2022 leg of Wifisfuneral's Highway to Hell Tour. Later that year, he dropped Terminal vol. 2 and began working closely with ODDY GXLD.
In April 2024, he performed alongside Caskey, Taysty Beats, and Angel Hill during the Return of the Black Sheep Tour. That same year, he also performed a notable show in Seattle.
Style and recent work
[edit]VEXXILLE’s music has shifted over time from heavy dark trap and industrial rap toward more alternative and emotionally atmospheric genres. His recent singles — including "I Cut My Wrist for Alexis" — showcase a more melodic and experimental direction, while maintaining the raw energy and emotional vulnerability that defines his style.

Early life
[edit]Vexxille, born and raised in Heber City, Utah, began professionally releasing music in early 2019 at the age of 20, shortly after moving from Salt Lake City back to Heber, where he lived in a shed behind his parents’ home.

Career
[edit]Working closely with his brother and collaborators such as Dirty Chino from Dogma Society and cousin Gateway Mafia, Vexxille released his debut mixtape, Terminal vol. 1. In December 2020, tragedy struck when his brother Sawyer died from an accidental fentanyl overdose. The loss deeply impacted Vexxille's music and drive. In honor of his brother, Vexxille released the single Triple 7 on February 14, 2021—Sawyer’s birthday—encapsulating grief and reflection. That same year, he released his debut album Vade, followed by the EP Reduxx. In November 2021, he performed as an opening act for Black Smurf alongside local rap group Dogma Society. In early 2022, Vexxille released the alternative album Vesper. He continued performing, including a March 2022 show with Nascar Aloe. He then released the EP Bleach and, in May 2022, landed a spot on Wifisfuneral's Highway to Hell Tour. Later that year, he dropped Terminal vol. 2, continuing his conceptual mixtape series, and collaborated with artist ODDY GXLD. In April 2024, he performed at the Return of the Black Sheep Tour alongside Caskey, Taysty Beats, and Angel Hill. That same year, he also performed a notable show in Seattle, further expanding his underground reach. == Style and transition == In the past two years, Vexxille has shifted from purely aggressive trap-metal sounds to more emotionally layered and experimental hip hop, blending industrial elements, ambiance, and punk influences.
Recent work
[edit]Among his most emotionally raw works is the 2023 single "I Cut My Wrist for Alexis", a brutally honest expression of heartbreak and mental health struggles. Other recent releases include singles like Cold Water Pt. 2, Solstice, and 5-1-50, all exploring themes of isolation, loss, and personal reckoning. == Legacy == Vexxille has garnered attention within the Utah underground scene for his authenticity, powerful live performances, and commitment to his brother’s memory through music. 5150 Syndicate has also grown into a recognized name in underground circles, blending music, fashion, and raw storytelling.
