Macklemore announces new baby with a song

Seattle rapper Macklemore, in town recently to film a video for an upcoming album with his producer Ryan Lewis, dropped some big news today: He's a dad.

His wife, Tricia, gave birth to Sloan Ava Simone Haggerty on May 29. In a post on his website, the wrote an essay about becoming a dad. He also wrote a song, with Lewis and an assist from Ed Sheeran. Read the message and check out the song here.

BTW, given the nature of "Growing Up: Sloane's Song," it's a safe bet this is not the tune Macklemore (real name Ben Haggerty) and Lewis (a former Spokane resident)  filmed here late last month. That video should hit the Interwebs in the fall.
