EXUM

Of all the music i thought i might write about today, i certainly didn't expect it to come from a former NFL defensive back, but here we are.  EXUM is the moniker of Antone Exum Jr., and the former safety mixes bits of hip-hop, electronic, synth pop, and R&B into grooving cohesion that harkens back to the sounds of early Toro Y Moi or Blood Orange.  Good stuff.  Check out the video for "Dark Kept Secret" below and pre-order the "Xardinal Coffee" LP here.
