Seedhe Maut

Seedhe Maut is a Delhi-based Indian hip-hop duo formed by rappers Encore ABJ and Calm, who met at a rap cypher in Hauz Khas Village. The group's name, meaning «Straight Death» in Hindi, reflects their all-in approach to lyricism and delivery. They emerged as key figures in the growth of the Delhi rap scene, known for dense, technical wordplay delivered in a mix of Hindi and English.

The duo built a devoted following through independent releases and became associated with the broader Indian hip-hop collective scene, drawing comparisons to combative, lyric-forward international acts. Their tracks combine sharp battle-rap style verses with introspective themes about ambition, struggle, and identity, set against dark, bass-heavy production.

As one of the most respected acts in India's contemporary hip-hop underground-to-mainstream pipeline, Seedhe Maut has helped raise the profile of Hindi-English rap on a national level, contributing to the increasing visibility of Delhi's hip-hop scene within India's broader music industry.
