Seedhe Maut is a hip hop duo from Delhi, India (originally from Uttarakhand, India), consisting of Siddhant Sharma (stage name Calm) from Nainital and Abhijay Negi (stage name Encore ABJ) from Pauri Garhwal. 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".
In 2017, they signed to the independent music label Azadi Records. 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.
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, 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 veteran producer Sez on the Beat. In 2017, they signed to the independent music label Azadi Records, alongside Prabh Deep, a fellow member of Spit Dope.
