For almost a decade, New Delhi duo Seedhe Maut—featuring rappers Calm and Encore ABJ—have been hailed among the Indian hip-hop scene’s most influential acts. The boys draw from their own life experiences to craft groundbreaking musical stories. And for rapper-producer Calm, even a chill period can lead to a burst of work such as 2026 mixtape PentHouse Tapes, Vol. 1. Breezy songs such as “KHO KHO” and “RELAX” lead the laidback vibe, with other highlights including the artist’s open-hearted ode to his journey so far, “BUN MUSKA”. Collabs also rule the LP: “PISHA” is stuffed with talent.
