The Roach Boys in Themba (Hammanskraal) and Katlehong

2008-09-22T13:50:00.013+02:00

NB: DOPE = Dope Mixtape (Straight from The Oven Vol 4)

yup, the weekend came and went so fast, only good thing about it is that more Straight from the Oven, Baked Dope was distributed.

The beat oven first did a cameo showcase at FTV in brooklyn. nun to write home about, but if all goes well that should be his regular spot. only time will tell.

Saturday, saw cats putting in serious work, from having to wake up early in da morning and waiting for the ESPN Bus to roll through Cap City to scoop cats to Themba for a performance at the ESPN Kasi BasketBall Tour. Watch Nveigh and Beat Bag The Freshly Baked DOPE before hopping on the Buss to go serve some fiends in Themba.

Cook it, chop it, Bag it, distribute it, dish it......

gotta get o dat buss n put in work in far away places, LOL.

The Basketball clinics went down proper, with Oven fresh beats coming from the Speakers. Ish started getting serious with Blaklez and Beat oven being asked to sign the Freshly Baked Dope and i ws like dayum dem fiends is really loving this, LOL, wssup crackboys? the Dope Boys were in da building, hahahhaha.

Austin 25 pimpin with that Pimp Juice.

Fiends already starting to enjoy dat Dope-ness....

Austin 25, signing it off.....

Even dope gals were onto dat ish...... aka ms fine 1

The one thing i liked about this distribution, it was enjoyed by both males and females, young and old, thank God it aint that illegal dope, we'd be really killing the nation with so much dope being put out there?

Da Gal o da cap b gangsta, dayum, she ws like imma kill u if this pic ends up o FB, LOL. she's a good ball player too.
Beat Oven up to his signing tricks, nucca who is manning the decks whn u busy signing? HUH

Yippie, i got ma fix 4 da day. another blazing lady o da court, after listenin to the mixtape, im sure she be blazing even more brakes o da court.

Nucca, we aint tryna c u, fix ur face, actually the mixtape did dat for you, LOL.

The final episode for Sat was when the Anvils performed. They did 3 joints and were asked to do 1 more. by that time, every1 was either moving to the side, limpin and tryna pass something to their mans, it ws too dope.

Now here is a face that doesnt need no fixing, hey i likes the hair style.

Sunday ws off to Katlehong Arts centre for a gig which promised to be real dope, reason ws gonna be performing, Imbube and a host of other dope cats like hoodlum etc. The anvils were invited just to come and perhaps do a joint or two and beat oven possibly a 30 minute set.

after the sound check, the electricity went (Ala Gino - There was load sheddding, LOL).

yup lookout for the Get Hooked Up Store in Voslo, dem cats r hustlers mayn, they wanna sell the mixtape for r40 bucks after getting it from us at cost price, we like, nah nucca, u gon sell dis ish max r30 or we aint supplying you with no Dope anymore. how u gon try and overcharge our fiends like dat, Its dat blue magic, twice the quality at half the price, dont mess with ma streets mayn.

Whats good Kingston? Whatup Dirty Rascal?

Dayum, i just got me some DOPE, i look high already.

Too much dope n no food aint good for you, beat oven fix ur stomach kid.

Whatup ma nucca 30 with Slavas? lookout for his DKNY Mixtape - Daveyton Ke New York, aint heard it yet, but apparently its gonna bring East rand back. I liked The packaging though, good work Slavas.

had a very interesting chat with the cat who's holding the mixtape. he said he heard the Bridge when we were there and he has since been fiending for the Dope and wanted to check whether was there really load shedding when Beat Oven Baked this? he popped it in his car and he was bumping it the whole afternoon. i appologise for getting emtional on air, i promise it will neva happen again, cos it turns out the listeners ejoyed the show and still love that DOPE.

These cats really love hiphop. they had reason backed up in a corner somehwhere asking him about the state of the music industry and hiphop in particular and they went on to cop that Dope on da spot, Fiends Fiends Fiends, cant live without them.

This cat below is one o them cats who run amuseafrica.com, ima be looking out for that review dawg. keep up the good work tho.

The Anvils on SABC 1's LIVE and a new Jingle for Rhyme and Reason

2008-08-15T16:19:00.005+02:00

When MC Lyte came through with "keep on keeping on", i didnt realise how much this statement would mean to the cats i hang out with, in the later years o ma life. The Anvils, not only have they been dominating the Local radio airwaves, mainly with reference to Yfm (hot 9 @ 9 and The bridge) and also metro fm's Rhyme and Reason.

They just keep on keeping on, as this past week, they went on to record a new Jingle for Rhyme and Reason. i just heard the 16 bars, i aint heard the finished product yet, so be on the lookout for that.

they also have a promo on Live tonight that they recorded some time during the week. and apparently there are some even bigger news coming up, so keep ur eyes glued to the Blog for your exclusive Anvils and Beat Oven News.

2008-08-06T15:01:00.003+02:00

The beat Oven is a Hiphop DJ from PTA aka Cap City and has been at it for years now and decided to start a series of mixtapes called "straight from the oven", where he tries to put together a sound that he likes thats not too commercial but at the same time pleasing to even the ear of an average hiphop listener.

Well the final product, you judge for yourself, you can download it on www.loadtheshow.com/show/The_Beat_Oven, but what the feedback has been like, is nothing short of Crazy, and the great thing about it, everyone has a fav song on the mixtape which makes the project very balanced.

So far Hype has given it 4 out of 5 mics, Streetsheet.co.za compares it to the next best thing after motherload and showlove.co.za calls it a classic. Recently ventilation.co.za has called it the best mixtape they've heard this year. With launches planned for the whole of SA, only numbers will tell, so far, PTA, NEWTOWN, SOWETO, SEBOKENG, DURBAN, PMB and recently, PE have seen the mixtape come live, lookout for a date near u.

The PE gig was held at Spotted COw (SILK LOUNGE) on the 3rd of April, with the show headlined by live performances from The Anvils, ABANTU, 100% Blaq, Re4maz, Qalazive and with The Beat Oven on the decks.

The Beat Oven Biog

2008-02-01T11:59:00.000+02:00

He is also quickly becoming PTA's finest when it comes to his mixing skills and his superb blend of old school, rugged, raw, new school and raga sounds.

He has been featured on metro fm’s night pulse, on December 12 2005, by DJ Bambo Johnson. He had to play an hour long set, which got raving reviews from all over SA.

He has also been featured on Y-fm’s Da Joint remix, by Lee and AK, on the 1st of May 2006.
For the past four months he has been a resident DJ on Top Stereo’s hip-hop show, called 33 reasons. He was also a co-producer for the same show. He has also been featured on DsTV’s Go Zone Show as a Dj for the Day.

He has had a mixtape put out by ROACH INC Entertainment on the 24th of March, which featured more than 10 local MC’s rapping on beautifully mixed international beats, from Beat Oven’s extensive vinyl collection. The 26th of may saw the launch of this mixtape, which the streets have been raving about since.

No other name suits him better as whenever he plays, he only unleashes "Oven Baked Beats, straight from the Oven." He is currently holding down several spots in PTA, from his company's (ROACH INC Entertainment) organized Hip-Hop gigs, to a couple of clubs in PTA, like YBA Wednesdays @ club Chicago and house parties.

Also, he is currently busy with the sequel to his Straight from the Oven, volume 4, mixtape. Volume 4 will feature artists from Cape Town, PE, Durban, JHB and ofcourse PTA and will be hosted by one of SA's most prominet Radio DJ's.

The mixtape will also culminate on a national tour of as many cities as possible hence the need to feature artists from various cities in South Africa. the mixtape should be done by Mid to end February 2008.

His latest big gig was the recent Y-fm organized Club Y end of September. This had an attendance of more than 6 thousand people with multiple dance floors and he held down the hip hop floor.

The Anvils - Biog

2008-02-01T11:44:00.000+02:00

Imagine a perfect blend of Punchlines, Metaphors and unsurpassed song writing skills over grimy, sometimes Jazzy beats blended all together.
That Concoction right there best represents what the sick DUO from PTA is notoriously known for.
You may ask, who this Duo is, well its The Anvils. They are a group made up of two MC’s, i.e. N-Veigh and Mcbeth, recently Joined by BlakLez, after Mcbeth decided to follow other ventures.
These MC’s have been under to Roach INC Entertainment mainly due to their lyrical prowess, passion for Hip-hop that shows through their live performances, and the belief that they could just be what the PTA and arguably the South African hip-hop scene needs right now, with the right support behind them.

Through Roach INC’s involvement they are fast becoming the talk of PTA, Gauteng and even South Africa as well.
They have been featured on e-TV’s hip-hop show called the Shiznizz a multiple times.

N-veigh took part in the Master’s of Rhythm competition, which was held in Benmore College in March ‘06. He went on to win the freestyle / battle competition, which earned him more respect as an MC.

N-veigh also was featured on Y-fm’s Rap Activity Jam and won for the evening, but could not go on to battle for the month end prize because of some unforeseen family circumstances.
Their tracks have made it into Hype Sessions a multiple times and have gotten good reviews from the Hype magazine.

Their tracks have also been on Metro fm’s Rhyme and Reason show’s top 10 local tracks, hosted by T-Bo touch, since the 6th of May 2006, for about 3 months. (Tracks are - baby slow down, Cheers, where hip-hop is)
The Anvils apart from performing at most of the State Theatre and other Roach INC organized events, they have also performed at the RAND EASTER SHOW on April ‘06.

They have performed alongside the prominent artists such as Proverb, Prokid, Optical illusion, Slikour, and many more during their performances at State Theatre in PTA.

Last Year, they dropped their much anticipated EP called INDEPENDENCE DAY and is produced by Some of SA's most prominent producers, such as Nyambz, Mizi, Grasroots Stars, Thir[13]teen and they have tracks featuring PROVERB, Reason and Damola
From the Independence Day, their first single, Hooligans, has been featured on Hype Sessions volume 11.

In October, the N-veigh also took part in the Niknaks MC Search competition and has gone on to win the competition and has walked away with R30 000.
Since then, they have been interviewed on Metro Fm’s afternoon drive show, by Glenzito, and also on iKhozi fm’s afternoon drive show by Mzekeke amongst other interviews and publicity related activities.

Also, in December, N-veigh was featured on Shiznizz's MC freestyle show, as the host for that episode as he won the most number of votes when he was featured with other MC’s previously.
They have also supported Optical Illusion, in their PTA part of their SA Tour, at SA State theatre on the 27th of October.

On the 1st of December they performed as main supporting acts for Zubz, the last letter, when he launched his album at the SA State Theatre.

Articles on hype magazine, Issue 11, 12, and 13 and have posed as models for hype magazine issue 12, have been on y-fm’s Da Joint remix to perform live in December 06 2006.
Recently N-veigh was on Metro fm’s Rhyme and Reason hosted by T-Bo Touch and since then, Touch has been playing his freestyle not less than 3 times on all his shows.

BlakLez has been featured on many of up and coming artists’ projects, including recently, Morale, who also has been on numerous TV shows praising Blaklez as the KING of pretoria Hiphop.
They have also been featured on Channel O’s Headrush multiple times.
Towards the end of 2007 they participated on MTVBase’s TRL Radio and an ESPN basketball event Newtown where they got a lot of love.

This Duo is bringing something fresh to the SA Hip-hop scene and a very well balanced E.P as their official introduction to underground and mainstream hip-hop.

Quoting two lines that possibly would answer some questions that people might have in their minds, Mcbeth goes on to say “We are here now, don’t even ask what took us so long, just pay attention”, and attention is what they have been grabbing with the E.P – Independence Day,
