the Nepgoons x 3319 Marché

The Nepgoons, a dynamic duo composed of the unique musical worlds of Ajai Kasim and Claydough, are a sound characterized by soulful raps, hyphy bounce, and R&B chords. Their innovative sound evokes emotions that capture and provide a refreshing contrast to the current soundscape, highlighting their wide-ranging talents.

With heavy reference to Pharrell’s Neptunes, the Nepgoons flip the southern sound with an Oakland approach. Oakland, particularly the Oakland School for the Arts, serves as the birthplace of the duo’s relationship and the stepping stone to continued collaboration and innovation.

Claydough’s look: Christian Dior vintage blazer, Buck Mason silk knitted tie, Jean Paul Gaultier pinstripe slacks, Maison Margiela Tabi Derby’s.

Ajai’s look: Comme Des Garcon resin coated blazer, Martine Rose key denim, Kiko Kostadinav x Camper Lab ankle boots.
