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

Growing Up (Sloane's Song) Feat. Ed Sheeran

PRODUCED BY DJ JUWAN, SCHWARZ, KW GRIFF & JAMES NASTY

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.
