Nippa and Blxst Celebrate the Power of Homegrown Roots

Soft, understated, infused with the sensuality that defines classic R&B, and grounded in a deep sense of belonging, “Homegrown” is the new single from British singer-songwriter Nippa, who joins forces with American artist Blxst to pay tribute to the places that shaped them and the communities they proudly call home.

“‘Homegrown’ is about carrying your roots with you wherever you go,” says Nippa. “Making this record between London and Los Angeles with Blxst felt right because it’s about representing where we’re from.”

The song has already made an impact, debuting in Los Angeles during BET Awards Weekend and serving as the soundtrack to the official unveiling of Tottenham Hotspur F.C.’s 2026/27 home kit.

The single is accompanied by a music video that moves between Tottenham in North London and South Central Los Angeles, following Nippa and Blxst as they spend time with their communities, dance in the streets, and cruise in luxury cars. The visual serves as a metaphor for limitless growth while never losing sight of where it all began or the people who have stood by them from the very beginning.

Raised in Tottenham, North London, Nippa has emerged as one of the most compelling voices in the new wave of British R&B thanks to a sound he describes as “hood R&B,” a blend of warm melodies, contemporary production, and storytelling inspired by his own experiences.

The artist has built his career independently, connecting with listeners who have found in his lyrics a reflection of everyday life and a genuine sense of pride in their origins.

That journey began taking shape with “INDUSTREETS” and “Hope She Hears This,” releases that earned praise from music critics, along with a MOBO Awards nomination and recognition from Billboard as one of the R&B artists to watch.

Surrounded by success earned through relentless hard work, discipline, and conviction, “Homegrown” marks a return to the essentials, almost like an indelible reminder of where you come from, paired with a clear vision of where you’re headed. It delivers a powerful, deeply relatable message that resonates with listeners, forges meaningful connections, and inspires those who work tirelessly every day to build a better future.
