This is the official website of Eric Leo 108. Eric Leo started rhyming in 2009, the same year he graduated from Eastern Michigan University with a bachelor’s degree in sociology. In 2011, he dropped his first album, Edulution: The Education Revolution, under the name Apollo. He coined the term FIENSE for his music—rhyming with science, defiance, and finance.

In 2012, Eric was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder and spent a decade battling mental illness. He came back in 2017 as himself—Eric Leo 108. Since then, he’s committed fully to hip-hop, releasing new music consistently and, since 2022, dropping tracks twice a month or more. His style is “edutainment”—educational entertainment that blends hard truths with rhythm, covering everything from business, romance, and marijuana to society, politics, religion, and the music industry.
