I wish that I could say that I was in a “better place” when I found out the news.  It would make for a far more polished and respectable story.  But I think back to that night: praying on the floor at 2am as Tricia went to the bathroom to take the pregnancy test I’d just purchased from Walgreens.  I was scared.  Scared to start working on new music.  Scared of trying again and failing.  Scared of the process of staring at myself through a page and seeing someone that I wasn’t proud of.  Someone that I didn’t like.  Someone that wasn’t ready to be a dad.

I’ve always had some make-believe image in my head of who I would be as a father.  I held on to clear expectations of where I wanted be in my career, my age, my level of self-care, and my maturity.  I basically assumed that I'd have it all together.  But in actuality the hypothetical “dad" version of me looked completely different than the man whose heart was beating out of his chest on the carpet, praying to a god or spirit I hadn’t talked to in months.  When Tricia walked out of the bathroom, I knew. And I knew I had to change.

5 months later we were recording in a remote cabin away from the density that is Seattle.  I was finally having fun in the studio for the first time in years.  Songs were getting made, finally. I was going back to the city once a week to attend a birthing class with Tricia.  When I got back to the cabin the next day, Ryan had made a new beat that would eventually become the song you’re listening to.  Half of it is advice about growing up.  The other half is trying to figure out how to grow up myself.

When you try to escape yourself, life has an interesting way of creating situations that force you to come back.  To look at who you are.  This is why “Growing up” felt like the right song to re-emerge with.  It’s where I’ve been the last year, through all the ups and downs.   We didn’t want to do a big campaign or anything over the top with this.  We just wanted to put out good music, directly to the people that have been here since the beginning.  Thank you for your patience. Hope you enjoy.

And if you’re wondering…

Our daughter, Sloane Ava Simone Haggerty was born 2 months ago on May 29th.  There is nothing like the joy and happiness that comes from bringing a baby into this universe.  She has filled my heart in ways that I never knew were possible.  She is the love of my life.  This song is for her. 

-Ben

Magic (ft. Phoebe Ryan)

to be honest....

LYRICS : 

I could go deeper on the beat to be honest
I could turn your girl into a freak to be honest
Lately I aint really gettin sleep to be honest
Life been changing every week to be honest

To be honest I'm tired of my family needin money
To be honest my visions always been twenty twenty
To be honest I'm questioning where your heart lies
To be honest America means apartheid
To be honest I fuck way too many chicks raw
To be honest Saudi King might cut my dick off
To be honest white people are some terrorists
To be honest I feel a way about sharing this
To be honest my patience is runnin thin so
To be honest imma keep dropping these singles
To be honest my debut is on my iPod
To be honest fuck all that I need the lights on
To be honest my house has been feelin homeless
To be honest I kicked it at Lyor Cohen's
To be honest everybody tryna poach me
To be honest know wassup when you approach me

I could go deeper on the beat to be honest
I could turn your girl into a freak to be honest
Lately I aint really gettin sleep to be honest
Life been changing every week to be honest

To be honest my fourth grade teacher was shady
To be honest I flushed the pills my therapist gave me
To be honest my teacher sucked my school was a mess
To be honest I gave no fuck I cheated on tests
To be honest with racism I know it still exists 
To be honest they hate niggas I see it in they grin
To be honest I love my girl she satisfies me
To be honest some other pussy looks appetizing
To be honest be for god I dont believe in religion
To be honest Uncle Sam is watching you like a pigeon
To be honest I shoulda called my cousin Chuka
He havin babies tbh I shoulda called him sooner
To be honest I just focus on the fundamentals
To be honest I just hope to reach my full potential
To be honest some things too mean to verbalize
Dick riders always get they dreams circumsized 

I could go deeper on the beat to be honest
I could turn your girl into a freak to be honest
Lately I aint really gettin sleep to be honest
Life been changing every week to be honest

To be honest I think I should put my phone down
To be honest I think I should put these hoes down
To be honest I'm high and I'm drunk and that's ok
To be honest I don't feel like payin sallie mae
To be honest I think all my idols lost it
To be honest they gon notice when I walk in
To be honest it's funny you think I need you
To be honest I'm with Saudis up in Bijou
To be honest I'm kinda poppin across the ocean
To be honest fuck your label and it's cross promotion
To be honest fuck every single industry plant
To be honest look all you got is industry fans
To be honest Im taking shots and it's way too early
To be honest it's actually late my days are blurry
To be honest just know that I see everything
To be honest how'd you come to terms with settling

I could go deeper on the beat to be honest
I could turn your girl into a freak to be honest
Lately I aint really gettin sleep to be honest
Life been changing every week to be honest
