"You can't quit meth . . . it just won't let you," said Rob Sawan (Kasp) - who facilitated the Truth About Meth workshop at this summer's HIV-AIDS conference staged by the Union of Ontario Indians. He began by relating to the world of drug use by explaining a bit about his own life on the streets on East Vancouver. Sawan explained how he lived on the streets with his father who at the time was a "pimp and junkie." After many years his father told him: "I want you to educate people of what it is like to live with a junkie." Sawan's approach in meth prevention is on of total disclosure. He shares everything and anything one would want to know about meth. "It is simple poison," said Sawan. "It is harder to quit crystal meth than any other drug because you are so chemically-dependent."

— Kelly Crawford, "You Can't Quit Meth..."

“KASP has lived on the streets, in foster care, has been on top in the music world and spiraled down because as he said, "I got cocky with fame and lost it all." He told the students of his own battle with alcoholism and of his progression to get to where he is today. His main message, "Know who you are, where you come from—it will take you to where you want to be." Before commencing with workshops with Grades 11 & 12, KASP went on to perform three songs, (preview to his new CD) and then introduced PSS student Adam Ali to "freestyle" for his peers, which by the way, was an impressive performance appreciated by all.

“ The video, he continued, sets the tone for the next stage of his career. “My music has grown up a bit,” he said. “The majority of my music has messages, but my next CD is more upbeat. My last CD was about my life and it was a bit sad.” The songs of Muskwa expressed some of Kasp’s struggles to deal with child abuse, alcoholism and drug abuse. On A Roll, he said, is about the hero in all of us. “Everybody is a hero in their own mind, whether they are doctors, lawyers, rappers, what ever you may do. Everyday people, we’re all heroes in our own mind,” he said. “I thought that would be a good start.” Kasp describes On A Roll as his first professional music video, the result of a collaboration with Stuey Kubrick, who has also directed videos for Sweatshop Union, Moka Only and Indelible, who appear with Kasp on the video. ”

“Kasp describes Muskwa as a return to real hip-hop. “That’s what hip-hop music is, it’s sharing your story, how you survived where you came from, talking about where you want to go,” he said. “You’re just being real.” The release party takes place on Nov. 6 in the Lakeside Resort, getting underway at 7 p.m. Along with Kasp himself, INDELIBLE and Neufeld will also be performing.”

— Steve Kidd, Hip-hop artist shares his story

“Rob "Kasp" Sawan, from the group, opened by speaking about his experience growing up in care, he spoke of how his music helped him to change his lifestyle, maintain his sobriety and gave him the opportunity to be a positive role model for the youth. Everyone including children, youth and Elders were up dancing and having a great time listening to their music.”

— Sheila Ridden, Federation of Aboriginal Foster Parents Newsletter
