Dark Kept Secret is the debut single from EXUM (aka Antone Exum Jr.) and the inaugural release for his own label 'ücke'.
EXUM was a professional footballer with stints at San Francisco 49ers and Minnesota Vikings, he went full time with music after flat lining on the operating table during a heart procedure in July 2020.
After this near death experience and partial ego death, EXUM travelled from his home in Richmond, Virginia to Oslo, Norway - searching out producer Samkopf who's work he'd heard and fallen in love with from overseas. Together they crafted the sound of Dark Kept Secret - a modern yet timeless classic in the vein of Blood Orange, Prince and Toro Y Moi.
EXUM is working on more singles and a debut album for 2021 along with exciting plans for the ücke label.
