Who Is Seedhe Maut? Meet India’s Most Fearless Hip-Hop Duo

In the world of Indian hip-hop, few names carry the same raw energy, lyrical depth, and cult-like following as Seedhe Maut. If you’re just discovering them, you’re probably wondering: who are these guys and why is everyone talking about them?

Let’s break it down.

Two Voices. One Revolution.

Seedhe Maut is a hip-hop duo from New Delhi made up of Encore ABJ (Abhijay Negi) and Calm (Siddhant Sharma). While most of today’s rap music leans toward commercial hooks and flashy lifestyles, Seedhe Maut’s music stands apart. It is gritty, honest, political, emotional, and deeply personal.

Their name itself sets the tone. “Seedhe Maut” translates to “straight death” and reflects how fearless and no-holds-barred their lyrics are. They do not sugarcoat anything. Whether it’s frustration about the system, everyday struggles, or inner conflict, they rap about what most people are afraid to even say out loud.

From Delhi Streets to National Buzz

The duo started making waves in the underground scene around 2017 and 2018. They first gained attention with tracks like Shaktimaan and their breakthrough album Bayaan (2018). That project was praised for its storytelling, raw bars, and poetic honesty. It resonated deeply with young Indians who often feel unheard.

With Bayaan, Seedhe Maut proved they weren’t just riding the hip-hop wave. They were here to change the game.

Since then, they have consistently delivered high-impact albums and singles, working with top producers like Sez on the Beat, and releasing critically acclaimed projects such as Nayaab, Lunch Break, and most recently, Lunch Break: Season 2.

Their fanbase includes college students in Delhi and Mumbai, but also extends to hip-hop heads across Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities who finally see their own realities reflected in music.

What Makes Their Music Different?

Seedhe Maut does not just rap to sound cool. Their songs talk about mental health, class divide, political chaos, friendships, betrayal, hustle, and self-doubt. Their lyrics are packed with wordplay, clever references, and metaphors that become more powerful the more you listen.

They move effortlessly between Hindi, English, and street slang, creating a style that feels both current and deeply Indian. Whether it is Calm’s aggressive delivery or Encore ABJ’s thoughtful verses, the chemistry between them is unmatched.

Independent and Unapologetic

In an industry where many artists rely on film music and label deals, Seedhe Maut continues to grow as independent artists. They have built their reputation through word-of-mouth, YouTube drops, and direct connection with fans. No film stars. No flashy launches. Just real music, real stories, and real hustle.

They are part of India’s growing hip-hop wave along with names like DIVINE, KR$NA, Emiway, and Prabh Deep, but Seedhe Maut brings a unique voice to the movement. Their work is fearless, introspective, and rooted in everyday life.

At Sound of the Streets India, we believe in music that speaks the truth. Seedhe Maut is doing exactly that. If you have not heard them yet, start with Nanchaku, Namastute, or Maina. And if you already have, welcome to the tribe.

This is not just music. This is therapy. This is rebellion. This is Seedhe Maut.
