Rapper Encore ABJ and emcee-producer Calm—two friends from the Delhi hip-hop circuit—announced their arrival as Seedhe Maut with a powerful resolve, teaming up with producer Sez on the Beat for “Seedhe Maut Anthem” in 2017. Since then they’ve moved away from English in favour of Hindi as their language of choice while retaining their firepower flow on verses packed with Indian pop-culture references. They also more than hold their own in collabs with the likes of Prabh Deep (their labelmate on Azadi Records), electro-pop artist Ritviz and rap star MC STAN as they make every bar count.
