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. Try: 7, 8, 12, and the hidden track after 14 1. Very short but funky beat intro 2. Slow tempo with fast dj scratches NON-FCC @ :44, @ 1:22, @ 1:27, @ 1:29, @ 1:36 3. Electro sounding.
