Arbitrage Album: Reimagining the Foundation of E$ Weaponry

Image
I released Edulution in August 2011, Emoney Weaponry in December 2012, and Dionysus on April 4th, 2013. I was consistent, and then there is a five-year gap where I was mentally ill for at least 7 years. I did a rearrangement of Emoney Weaponry called Arbitrage in 2018. I decided to release music as myself under the moniker Eric Leo 108 starting in 2021. Then in 2026, I revived Apollo, rebranding my aggressive societal critiques and old Apollo releases as Apollo iEro.  Arbitrage is what Emoney Weaponry should have been. Some of the tracks, like "so RAW" and "Popularity Contest," are ripped exactly as they are in Emoney Weaponry , but some of them, like "Thug Life," "Freedom 101," or "Usury Inception," have had the lyrics and vocals replaced.  Originally released  June 17, 2018 Corporate Rule Album on: Spotify Apple Music Amazon Music Tidal YouTube ...

Dionysus Album: Exploring Hedonism, Sexuality, and the Apollo Arc

Image
Dionysus was originally released on April 4th, 2013. Dionysus is a character alias of Apollo along with E$. Edulution was an Apollo album exploring America through philosophy from an intellectual angle, looking through the eyes of Apollo's characters. E$ Weaponry was an aggressive societal critique as E$. Dionysus is my third Apollo album and is designed to explore the sexual and loving side of the Apollo/Dionysus character arc. You can understand better by reading  The Apollo, Dionysus, and E$ Personas . Apollo iEro is designed for adults with an NC-17 rating throughout. When it comes to Dionysus, that means the character is sexually explicit and pornographic in perspective, context, and detail. Some of the tracks are more Emoneyian and more hedonistic, egotistical, and derogatory, as E$ is the villain. Some of the songs are also Dionysian, which are sexually explicit but still about love even though they're grotesquely explicit in some respects. Dionysus Album on: Spotify App...

Expect Regret: Calling Out Gimmicks and Embracing Cosmic Truth

"Stupidity limitless, full of fools and hypocrites; gimmicks in the biz who just try'na benefit." "Don't revert to your language, there's worth in what I'm sayin', The wording arrangement is circumloquacious."                              "When did Grace give out? Since I had to take this route!  My foundation down it's in pages now.  You, militant idiots, are diss'n a physicist,  space arranged in distance, time-continuum infinite!"  Look, you noticed that E$ an act!  When you don't talk about what matters, you're called being a rapper. "Try'na save what's left, show love and respect, Hope for the best but expect regret."
