Nippa’s “Homegrown” is his first with Warner Records. The project features nine songs, including collaborations with Blxst and Jordan Ward, plus production from KAYTRANADA and Rance on “Bittersweet.”
The Tottenham singer combines R&B, rap, and dance rhythms to talk about his family, his relationships, and the people who remain important as his career grows.
“Homegrown,” the song he shares with Blxst, makes that intention clear. Nippa recalls when money was scarce, the challenges he overcame, and the people who stayed by his side. He mentions his mother, his grandmother, and his team, dedicating his achievements to them. A pronounced bass line accompanies his voice as he moves from melodies to phrases that lean closer to rap.
The track was selected for Tottenham Hotspur’s 2026/27 kit reveal, giving Nippa a prominent place in a campaign tied to the area that shaped him. It also brings his music into a setting where his connection to North London can be felt beyond the record itself.
On “Kacey,” alongside Jordan Ward, Nippa sings about an attraction that remains even as he travels and spends more time outside London. The song has a funk-inspired rhythm, and their voices blend easily. The video uses a split screen to show scenes from London and Los Angeles, the two cities where the story unfolds.
“Bittersweet” shifts the mood, pairing KAYTRANADA and Rance’s production with a groove that keeps the song moving while Nippa questions whether he is too focused, doing too much, or simply caught up in the rush of the moment. His doubts never interrupt the track’s momentum, creating a tension between introspection and the pull of the dance floor.
On “Just Vibe,” he offers a calmer moment, with piano and loose percussion that leave room for his voice. “T&C’s” leans toward chillout, with a hazier sound. “Cherries Freestyle,” meanwhile, concentrates the rap into just over a minute. These songs broaden the EP’s sound and show different ways of approaching his style of “hood R&B.”
The closing track, “I’m Scared To Be Left Alone,” addresses the need for company. Guitars accompany a more vulnerable performance that connects with the relationships explored throughout the project. After thanking his family and singing about someone he misses, Nippa ends by acknowledging that he also struggles with being alone.
“Homegrown” expands his circle of collaborators and introduces him to more listeners. His songs continue to tell stories drawn from familiar experiences, remembering who helped him, thinking about someone when he is far away, and wanting to share what is happening in his life.
