The Video:

Following the recent release of his sophomore album Vision, Jern Eye took some time out to sit down with the folks over at MYX TV to talk about how he came up in the game, his group Lunar Heights and of course, Vision. Jern breaks down his history with Lunar Heights and how he use to rap with his future band-mates in high school back in the day. Jern is an emcee's emcee as he recognizes the importance of ciphers and how instrumental they were in developing his talent. "I attribute everything I've done and the growth I have as an artist to these ciphers, it's the essence. Having that element I think is definitive of what being an MC is, a true test to your craft."

In regards to Vision, Jern's concept was to challenge the perception of the listener and to bring back perspective into hip-hop. When asked about the recent response to Vision, Jern had this to say, "Thus far the response for Vision has been real positive, coupled by the rave reviews from the live shows, and it feels like folks are getting open. I've also received some great feedback from DJ's and fans alike who say it's a great return to real hip-hop." Make sure to pick up your own copy of Jern Eye's sophomore release Vision, in stores everywhere via MYX Music Label.

The Background:

Los Angeles native Jern Eye began crafting his skills early on at freestyle battles in famous L.A. clubs. Jern formed the staple west coast group, Lunar Heights, with friend and fellow emcee Spear Of The Nation shortly after high school, and the group eventually migrated north to Oakland to join the Bay Area's flourishing independent hip-hop scene. Once in the Bay, the group was joined by Khai Sharrieff as they began making a name for themselves opening for a number of well known groups, including Crown City Rockers, The Pharcyde, The Procussions, and more. The group subsequently released their solo effort, Crescent Moon, to high acclaim. Jern followed three years later with his solo debut, Authentic Vintage, in 2006, and toured with Hieroglyphics and Living Legends as a result of the album's success. Jern Eye's sophomore album, Vision, features production from !llmind, Jake One, Keelay & Zaire, DJ Vinroc, Def Supreme, Phil Jahns, and Artek, and collaborations with artists Cali Agents, Mistah F.A.B., Zion I, Guilty Simpson, Nightclubber Lang, and more looks to make the case for Jern's upward movement as a legitimate hip-hop talent on a national level. Vision is available now via MYX Music Label.
