Seedhe Maut is the Delhi rap duo of Encore ABJ and Calm. They came up through the city's battle and cypher scene, signed with Azadi Records for their first albums, and later moved their releases to their own DL91 Era imprint. Over eight years they've built one of the deepest catalogues in Hindi hip-hop: two studio albums, two long mixtapes, a pair of shorter projects and a 30-track crew record.

This guide goes through the albums, mixtapes and EPs in order. Every date, track count, tracklist and ℗ line below comes from Apple Music India, checked on 28 October 2026. For their profile and songs, see the Seedhe Maut artist page and our list of essential Seedhe Maut songs.

Apple splits some of these by format. न is sometimes written "Na", and the duo describe Lunch Break as a mixtape, though Apple files it as a regular album.

The beginning: 2 Ka Pahada (2017)

The duo's first project came out in May 2017 on Elements Agency India, just after the single "Seedhe Maut Anthem". Apple India shows two listings of 2 Ka Pahada, one with four tracks and one with five. It's a short, raw introduction, closer to a cypher tape than an album. Go to it for history rather than as a starting point.

Bayaan (2018)

Bayaan was their debut album, and their first release on Azadi Records. It came out on 28 December 2018 with twelve tracks:

"Intro", "Shaktimaan", "Gehraiyaan" (feat. Vaksh), "Uss Din", "Jolly" (skit), "Meri Baggi", "Dehshat", "Pnp", "Pankh" (feat. Bawari Basanti), "Edokdog" (skit), "Kyu" and "Chalta Reh".

"Shaktimaan" came out as a single in August 2018, so a lot of listeners heard it before the album. Apart from two features and a production team, Bayaan is mostly Encore ABJ and Calm alone. If you want to hear where their double-time back-and-forth started, this is the record. Our Hindi hip-hop albums list puts it among the scene's landmark debuts.

The singles run (2019–2021)

Between Bayaan and the next long project, Seedhe Maut kept a steady flow of standalone singles on Azadi: "Saans Le" and "101" (2019), and "MMM", "Yaad", "Ball", "Do Guna" and "Dum Pishaach" (2020). They also appeared on Ritviz and SickFlip's "Roshni" (2020) and on Ritviz's "Chalo Chalein". Most of these songs aren't on any album, so the singles tab matters more for Seedhe Maut than for most artists.

न (2021)

न (Na) came out on 8 September 2021 as a ten-track mixtape. Every title starts with the same letter, and four of the songs had already been released as singles that year:

"Namastute", "Naamcheen", "No Enema" (with Foreign Beggars and Sez on the Beat), "Nanchaku" (with MC Stan), "Nafrat" (with DJ SA), "Nazarbhattu Freestyle", "Nawazuddin", "Na Jaaye", "Nadaan" and "Natkhat".

"Nanchaku" with MC Stan and the UK collaboration "No Enema" are the two songs most people know from it. As a whole, the tape is looser and more playful than either studio album.

Nayaab (2022)

Nayaab is the second studio album, released on 27 May 2022 with sixteen tracks. Apple credits it to Azadi Records with The MVMNT.

"Nayaab", "Toh Kya", "Hoshiyaar", "Anaadi", "Dum Ghutte", "Maina", "Choti Soch", "Gandi Aulaad", "Khoj", "Kohra", "Jua", "Rajdhani", "Chidiya Udd", "Batti" (feat. Ab 17), "Teen Dost" and "Marne Ke Baad Bhi..." (feat. Aabha Pusalkar).

It's their most inward-looking record. The songs are about family, ambition, anxiety and Delhi itself ("Rajdhani"), and there are almost no guest verses. The album is long and works as one piece, so play it in order. For a first listen, try "Nayaab", "Teen Dost" and "Marne Ke Baad Bhi...".

Lunch Break (2023)

Lunch Break came out on 19 August 2023 and runs 30 tracks, the duo's longest release. It's a deliberate break from Nayaab: fast, packed with features and built for live shows. Guests include Lil Bhavi, Bhaskar, Ab 17, Sonnyjim, Hurricane, Yungsta, Rawal, Qaab, Rebel 7, Talal Qureshi, Faris Shafi, Badshah, DJ SA, Bandzo3rd, Raga, Sikander Kahlon and KR$NA.

Some highlights by track: "11K" (track 1), "Pushpak Vimaan" with Sonnyjim, "Kya Challa", "Hausla", "Swah!" with Badshah, "Taakat" with Lil Bhavi, "Khatta Flow" with KR$NA and the closer "Kehna Chahte Hain...". Several, including "11K", "Hausla", "Taakat", "W" and "Joint in the Booth", came out as singles in the months before.

It's too long to take in at once. Pick by guest, or start with the singles.

SHAKTI and Kshama (2024)

In 2024 the duo started releasing on DL91 Era. The project came in two parts.

SHAKTI (EP, 15 August 2024) has four tracks: "Soyi Nahi", "Raat Ki Rani", "Naksha" and "Khush Nahi".

Kshama (album, 14 December 2024) has eight: "RED" (with Hisab), "ICE", "Gourmet Shit!" (feat. Raftaar), "Moon Comes Up" (feat. Badshah), "Round 3", "Naraaz", "Brahamachari" (feat. GhAatak & Raga) and "Shakti Aur Kshama".

The closing title, "Shakti Aur Kshama", ties the two releases together. Listen to them back to back. Before Kshama, the DL91 Era singles "Bure Din" (with Mick Jenkins), "SHUTDOWN", "TT", "Kaanch Ke Ghar", "SRK" and "NAMUNA" had also come out through 2024.

DL91 FM (2025)

DL91 FM (15 May 2025) is a 30-track label showcase rather than a duo album. Seedhe Maut share it with the DL91 Era roster: Lil Bhavi, OG Lucifer, Ghaatak, Bhaskar, Ab 17, and Calm and Encore ABJ in their solo modes. Start with "Capital Rap", "Kilas", the title track and "Pancake", which came out as a single the week before. It's essential for fans and a good map of the Delhi rappers around the duo.

Since DL91 FM (2025–2026)

There's been no new full-length album since. Apple India lists singles: "MUDDA" (October 2025), "So Exotic" with Bandzo3rd (February 2026), "Dilli Jale Roz" (30 July 2026) and "BUZZ" on Mass Appeal (23 October 2026). They also appeared on Coke Studio Bharat's Holi Jam 2026 EP. This guide only covers released music and will be updated when the next album is out.
