Nippa - one of the UK’s most fascinating and fastest rising voices - steps fully into his next chapter with his Warner Records debut EP, Homegrown, featuring our focus track, 'Bittersweet'.
The standout single is a hypnotic, hip-house groove track that embodies the pull of the dancefloor, as Nippa moves fluidly between those ecstatic rhythms and his internal monologue.
The record is a living mix of yearning R&B, hypnotic dance, swaggering rap, and raw soul that finds the North London singer and songwriter reconciling his humble beginnings with his ambitions as an international artist. The coming-of-age EP includes guest spots from Blxst and Jordan Ward, plus star level producers ranging from KAYTRANADA to Pino Palladino. On the EP, Nippa shares, “Homegrown is about me staying true to who I am and where I’m from, no matter where I end up.”

Fans already previewed Homegrown’s heady blend of personal searching and romantic longing prior to its release in September thanks to a pair of previously released singles in ‘Kacey’ and the title track featuring Blxst.
While he’s been making waves across the pond, Nippa’s hometown connection remains stronger than ever. ‘Homegrown’ was the official soundtrack of the 2026/27 shirt reveal for Tottenham Hotspur, the Premier League football club that represents the neighbourhood the singer hails from. “This is a song for the community,” he said in a celebratory article for Spurs. “This feels like it was meant for Tottenham.”
