As Nippa’s world expands, the North London singer is keeping home at the center of his story.
His new EP, Homegrown, arrived September 25. Across nine tracks, the project explores the tension between pursuing bigger ambitions and staying connected to the people and places that shaped him.
With features from Blxst and Jordan Ward, Homegrown connects Nippa’s UK perspective with collaborators across the Atlantic. Its blend of R&B, dance, rap and soul gives those conversations room to move beyond one sound.
Moreover, the title track, featuring Blxst, anchors the project in community. Bringing together artists from North London and South Central Los Angeles, the collaboration explores how hometown identity travels with you. That connection extends beyond music: “Homegrown” also soundtracks Tottenham Hotspur’s 2026/27 kit campaign.
“This is a song for the community,” Nippa said in a statement. “This feels like it was meant for Tottenham.”
Nippa explores various sounds in ‘Homegrown’
On “Kacey,” featuring Jordan Ward, that pull toward home becomes romantic. The song places a hometown crush against the attractions of a globe-trotting lifestyle, while its split-screen video moves between London and Los Angeles.
“Bittersweet,” produced by KAYTRANADA and Rance, introduces another kind of tension. Its dance-floor groove frames questions about focus, temptation and getting caught in the moment, giving the project’s introspection an energetic setting.
Elsewhere, titles such as “Talking To The Mirror,” “Say It With Your Chest” and “I’m Scared To Be Left Alone” reinforce the EP’s focus on self-examination and vulnerability. Its collaborators include Pino Palladino, Lido, Don Mills, Camper and KzDidIt.
Furthermore, those elements give Homegrown a clear narrative. Nippa is pursuing an international future while continuing to draw from his beginnings. Home remains part of the music, even as the audience grows.
Nippa’s Homegrown is available now.
