The Anvils - Biog

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.

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,
