Our Deezer Next Artist for the month of April was⊠Nippa
Ever heard about him?
Nippa is a UK artist known for merging R&B and rap, swiftly becoming a leading figure in the scene. He began turning heads with the release of self-titled debut EP âNippaâ, featuring the popular single âSituationâ
This was just the beginning as he followed up with a series of successful singles like 'The One' and 'Reverse,' gaining recognition from industry heavyweights such as Bryson Tiller, Russ, and UK sensation Dave. He even landed a coveted spot on Jack Harlow's European tour.
Nippa's star continued to rise, featuring on Craig David's album "22" and closing out 2022 with his sophomore EP, 'Not A Statistic.'
Wonderland named him "The slickest man in R&B," while Dazed praised his EP for blending nostalgic R&B with hip-hop and trap elements. BBC championed him as one of their Hot 4 for 2023, catapulting Nippa to new heights.
His music, while rooted in classic 90s and 00s R&B, features a gritty, authentic style with touches of gospel and reggae.
