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

SOME ADDITiONAL MIXING & MASTERING BY SCHWARZ 

COVER ART BY SAM LUBICZ (333 BOYZ)

Nina Pop is proud to present "Fix The City Up," the new EP from Baltimore vocalist Ecelectic, which features for the first time official releases of his Baltimore Club anthems "Blow This Club Up" and "F The City Up" alongside brand new material.

For the past few years, Ecelectic tracks have been in heavy rotation on Bmore's influential 92Q FM, the heartbeat of the city's Baltimore Club movement on the radio. Both "F The City Up" and "Blow This Club Up" (the latter of which is produced by Baltimore Club legend KW Griff) have a timelines Charm City stomp, a sound ingrained into the city's psyche both a rally call and an emotional release.

Nina Pop CEO Schwarz produces some new cuts, including the stark and emotional "Club History" featuring Big Dayy, which is anchored by a "rest in peace K-Swift" chant - an ode to the late, great queen of Baltimore Club music. The EP as a whole looks to the past, present and future of the movement for cues, and the end result is a realtime snapshot of a scene not only crucial to the city, but to forward-thinking dance music globally.

A little tune thats been stuck in our heads for a while.

Samples The Funk Brothers instrumental of 'My Girl', written by Smokey Robinson and made famous by The Temptations.

About one of our favorite temptations.

My girl!?
I wish I never met her
Ah yeah right!
Know I never could forget her
I was feeling down
But she got me feeling better
So I'll twist her up in another love letter, saying
Dear gorgeous
I really missed ya?
It's been a long time
Since I kissed ya
Don't get me wrong
Cuz I never meant to diss ya
And I don't care if there's others in the polaroid picture

Click, chhh
I'll just roll another J
Thought I was feeling down
Now I'm feeling okay
I'll never love another
No ones getting in the way
Things have been different ever since you let me say that you're:

My girl
My girl, best ever
Before we first met yeah I used to say never
Cold shoulder up was my favorite method
Had me at hello
But I guess that's where she gets ya!

So gone getcha some
I heard she's coming round
And even when I'm broke
She helps me write my sounds
True love
Gimme just what I ask for
We blaze in every country
Got a puff puff passport

And I roll another J
Thought I was feeling down now I'm feeling okay
I'll never love another no ones getting in the way
Things have been different ever since you let me say that you're

My Girl, My Girl, My Girl
Talking 'bout My Girl
My Girl
Ooo

[T. Gatez]
I'm having trouble tryna figure if I'm dreaming
I'm missing you before you leaving
Dunno how to love again
She was the reason
But since you came around boo
The only thing I'm thinking of is you
.. got me feeling like I shouldn't be feeling this feeling so soon
When we toast to da moon
Sleeping til noon
Intoxicating when you come around
I can smell ya perfume from the other room

You put a freeze on my reign of bad days
Cold piece of work
Your love got me paid
And when it's me and you
Fires in the room
We dance in the smoke
From July 'til June
As I ...

Exhale clouds of the best of you
I'm laughing at da fools who disrespected you
Feeling like I'm standing on a mountain when I'm next to you
Tryna keep my distance cuz I'm knowing that it's better to ..

Every time we make love it's like I'm dreaming
We be tea kettle steaming
Bedroom looking like a sauna heavy breathing
High off you every single time I breathe in

You are off the chain can we hang like a necklace
Act a little recklace
Party 'til breakfast
Be a lil restless
Get a lil breathless
Me and you are perfect
Based on my checklist
My girl

My Girl, My Girl, My Girl
Talking 'bout My Girl

I guess you'd say
What could make me feel this way?
You know I'm talking 'bout
Ya I'm talking 'bout my girl

And I'll roll another J
Thought I was feeling down now I'm feeling okay
I'll never love another no ones getting in the way
Things have been different ever since you let me say that you're

My Girl, My Girl, My Girl
Talking 'bout My Girl
My Girl
