Rising UK R&B artist Nippa has joined forces with Los Angeles singer and songwriter Blxst for his new single, “Homegrown.” Produced by Grammy-winning producer DJ Camper, the warm and soulful record connects London and Los Angeles while celebrating community, perseverance, and the importance of remembering the people and places that shaped you.
Built around hazy production, rich harmonies, and a laid-back groove, “Homegrown” gives both artists space to reflect on their journeys. Nippa delivers smooth, melodic vocals as he speaks about representing his neighborhood and family, while Blxst complements the track with his relaxed flow and distinctive West Coast presence. Together, they create a natural chemistry that strengthens the song’s message about carrying your roots wherever success may lead.
The collaboration developed after Nippa opened for Blxst during a London performance, establishing a connection that eventually grew into “Homegrown.” Despite coming from opposite sides of the Atlantic, both artists share similar stories of building their careers through consistency, strong community ties, and an authentic approach to contemporary R&B.
The accompanying music video extends the record’s meaning by moving between Tottenham in North London and South Central Los Angeles. Scenes featuring neighborhood landmarks, longtime friends, and everyday community moments show how both artists remain connected to home even as their music reaches wider audiences. The visual presents Tottenham and Los Angeles as two distinct places united by ambition, loyalty, and shared experiences.
“Homegrown” begins an exciting new chapter for Nippa as his profile continues expanding beyond the UK. The song has also been connected to Tottenham Hotspur’s 2026/27 uniform campaign, creating a meaningful link between the artist and the North London community where he was raised. “Homegrown” featuring Blxst is available now across major streaming platforms, with the official music video available to watch on Nippa’s YouTube channel.
