SIDDHANT SHARMA AND ABHIJAY NEGI
Seedhe Maut, Musicians
The rabble-rousers of Seedhe Maut—Encore ABJ (Abhijay Negi) and Calm (Siddhant Sharma)— have been shaking up the desi hip-hop scene since 2017, and seven years on are only getting bigger and better. In an age of reels and hype, Seedhe Maut grew their 1.7 million monthly Spotify listeners organically, and their 12-city India tour for their new album Lunch Break has almost sold out. The product of a carefree three-month stay in Goa, the album features exciting collaborations with Badshah, KR$NA and Yungsta. However, the Delhi-based duo now plan to expand their label beyond music. Their latest project, currently in the works, is “DL91”, a platform to promote undiscovered artists as well as to venture into anime and production. “DL91 is an initiative by Seedhe Maut for Seedhe Maut and people that Seedhe Maut fucks with.” Their next mix tape Kavi Kehna Chahte Hai is also in the pipeline, and as for potential collabs, they’re calling out West Atlanta rapper Kenny Mason.—SR
