The group slowly grew in numbers over the years. There are 14 members all together. From left to right, Terrorize, Misfit, G-Face and Sirda. Photo by Creeden Martell.

"Whoever is not with me is against me; whoever does not gather with me, scatters,” – The Book of Luke, chapter 11, verse 23.

The verse is the mantra of Regina hip-hop group Rezofwar Dawgs (R.O.W.) and one they play close to the chest. The group is all about believing in one's self and empowerment. For the members of R.O.W., that means speaking no bullshit and taking no bullshit from others. Their songs are all written from experience. They are adamant that if you didn't live the words being spit over the bars, there's no point in saying them.
