Jern Eye - Lunar Height's front man's solo release. Bay Area / Oakland MC. Compared to his previous Lunar Heights releases, Jern Eye's collaborative production goes into a different direction where he explores more diverse sounds and samples. Also he produces with fellow Bay Area artists, Phil Jahns, Nick Andre, D'Nae, to even legendary Triple Threat / 5th Platoon DJ: Vinroc.
Most of the tracks on Authentic Vintage are not FCC Clean.
