Seedhe Maut is a hip hop duo from Delhi, India, consisting of Siddhant Sharma (stage name Calm) from Nainital and Abhijay Negi (stage name Encore ABJ). Formed in 2015, their name comes from a slang that the former's brother used perpetually among his friends to signify "giving their full potential to something".[1] The rap duo has made songs on romance, politics, Indian society and the education system, and their lifestyle.[2]
In 2017, they signed to the independent music label Azadi Records.[3] After releasing their final project Lunch Break with Azadi Records in 2023, they departed from the label and found their own independent label, DL91, in 2024.[4]
Career
[edit]2015-2017: Formation and 2 Ka Pahada
[edit]The two met at Spit Dope Inc., a Delhi underground battle rap league organized by MC Kode and Encore ABJ at Deer Park, Hauz Khas Village,[1][5][6] where Calm delivered a freestyle that would capture the latter's attention. After competing in various rap battles and cyphers together, the duo would go on to release "Seedhe Maut Anthem", their first song together as a duo, and the lead single for their debut project, 2 Ka Pahada, entirely produced by Sez on the Beat.[7]
2018-2024: Debut album, departure from Azadi Records and further commercial success
[edit]Calm, who previously rapped in English, switched his language to Hindi, when they collaborated with Prabh Deep on the track Class Sikh Maut Vol.2, which was a sequel to the track Classsikh Maut, featured on 2 Ka Pahada.[1]
Since then, the duo has released two studio albums—Bayaan in 2018 and Nayaab[8][9] in 2022—and 2 mixtapes—न[10] in 2021, and Lunch Break in 2023, as well as a plethora of singles and collaborations, with many tracks produced by Calm and longtime collaborator and producer Sez on the Beat.
The duo was selected for the YouTube 2021 Class of Foundry.[11] The two were also seen as guest judges on the shows, India's Got Latent and MTV Hustle in 2024.
After releasing their project Lunch Break, they departed from Azadi Records, and founded their own label, DL91 Era in 2023. Their EPs Shakti and Kshama were released through DL91 Era in 2024.
2025-present: DL91 FM
[edit]They released their first compilation album, DL91 FM, through their newly founded label, DL91 Era, in 2025, featuring appearances from various DL91 artists, namely, Lil Bhavi, Ab-17, OG Lucifer, GhAatak, Bhaskar as well as the comedian Samay Raina. Their first album to not feature production from Sez on the Beat, all the tracks were instead produced by the label's signee, Hurricane.[12]
