Azadi Records is proud to present the latest single from Delhi’s Seedhe Maut. Titled ‘Naamcheen’ [Notorious], the track sees the duo exchange rapid-fire bars over a slow-burning, menacing beat produced by Calm. Fresh from their stint as the masters of ceremony on Red Bull’s acclaimed web-series Spotlight, Seedhe Maut have experienced a rapid ascent to the top of the Asian music industry since the release of their debut album ‘Bayaan’. Over the past year, this creative force has continued to tighten its grip on the South Asian hip-hop scene, releasing critically acclaimed singles such as ‘101’, ‘Ball’, ‘Do Guna’, ‘Dum Pishaach’ and ‘Namastute’.
Seedhe Maut’s relentless assault on the game continues this year and with the release of ‘Naamcheen’, their ability to redefine the sound of South Asian hip-hop at the drop of a hat remains unparalleled.
lyrics
Hook
Bande namcheen (x2)
We’re notorious
Sava sher
Fiercer than a lion
Garje raat din jaise tan sen, dhaae keher
Strike like thunder at any point during the day
Mile peheli baar
We met for the first time
par pehle hi jaanti hai vo haan khair
But she already knows about us
Mile pehle ni par jaanti naam wo
We’ve never met but she knows my name
Aoa laundo betho chaukdi maar k do teen
Come sit and let me tell you a story
Jote jala meri baat pe dhyaan do
Spark the joint and listen to my words carefully
Aake mili mere show k baad thi bohot bheed
She came and met me after my [packed] show
Mile pehle par me jaanta naam nahi
We’ve met before but I don’t remember her name
Usse lage usse bohot pata par oh please
She thinks she knows a lot but oh please
mujhe jaanti ni jaanti calm ko bas
She thinks she knows me but she only knows Calm
Me kyu karu vibe ka bandobast
Why should I arrange the vibe
Hamesha dost pee rhe jack hi (jd)
My crew is always drinking well[JD]
Hamesha do T rahe bag me
There’s always a T in my bag
Kya usse pasand mera band ya drip ya hype ya ya dil Ya wo 6 zero bank me
Does she like my band or drip or the fame or does she like my heart or maybe its the money in my bank
Tab alag hi scene the cash k
Those days were different
Chaar saal rohini se Kaha se kaha
In four years I’ve come from Rohini to here
Aage karu “ Pch Oye roach khatam ho gaye siddhant”
Now I - Siddhant the roach is finished
Firr Roach bana boarding pass ka
I make a roach with my boarding pass
Ma ko chahiye the pachaas mene bheja dedh
I look after my family
Yaha lete Khudke papero me karu me bake
Here I am, baking my in own paper
Khush tha to Khaali karu poori ye jeb
I’m happy so I spend freely
Aur party kari saare saathi bhund hoke gaye
And I make sure the entire crew has a good time
Hai roz hi ka Padosi mere Tang hoke soye
My neighbours are fed up with me
Khoye dost lekin mene kabhi Mauke ni khoye
I’ve lost friends but never an opportunity
Kilsegi kaisi ni kari jo kranti
They’re obviously gonna get pissed cuz we revolutionised the scene
Jinse mile khaali laabh aise Paudhe hi boye
I’ve only planted those seeds which benefited me
