Archiving the Lyceum Recordz Catalog: From 2012 Foundations to 2026

By

This is another post I made back in 2012. This was my first attempt to try to garner support and find customers. Look at this fool. It's crazy how things have changed but still remain the same. After getting my tracks taken down in a system update from my distributor in December 2025, now in March 2026, I have returned to Bandcamp (and now also EVEN) to go direct to consumer. You can find the Athenian Education essay in my book Farming Humans, which you can find at FarmingHumans.com. Maybe I'll put the Pluralistic Ignorance essay in another one of my books someday. I have my first official release ready right now on Bandcamp, and it comes with a letter with an official seal that shows you are a day one supporter. Show your support and follow me on Bandcamp at EricLeo108.bandcamp.com. Here is what I wrote back in 2012 when I first started


This post is to explain the four items available from Lyceum Recordz for purchase:

The Edulution Album
Athenian Education Essay 
Pluralistic Ignorance Essay
& the "Thank You" Letter 


The Edulution Album is Apollo's debut hip-hop album, which has its own blog dedicated to it and a (prefatory) mixtape to promote it. For further details, go to the eBay description or the Edulution post on the Lyceum Recordz blog. (You can also visit the EDULUTION blog.) The sale of the album on eBay comes with a signed CD, a signed handmade jacket, and a signed "Thank You" letter.


"Athenian Education during the Classical period" is a paper I wrote while in college. It was for my Research and Writing History class; the whole grade was based on the paper as a holistic written work. My peer group said it was a great read, and I got an "A" in the class. The essay is 11 pages long (single-spaced), including the bibliography. I also presented my findings as a poster presentation at the EMU symposium. The paper explains the various facets of Greek life and culture and how men became citizens in Ancient Athens. Your purchase on eBay includes a signed copy of the paper and a definitions sheet. This paper is largely attributed to why love and unity through truth are part of Lyceum Recordz.


The Pluralistic Ignorance Essay is actually called "The Sociological Journey to Understanding War and Misperception in America: A Psychosocial History Exploring How and Why Pluralistic Ignorance is Implemented to Promote War." The paper is about 14,000 words (single-spaced), which covers 22 pages with the bibliography. It explores the media's influence on public opinion through the direct and indirect creation of pluralistic ignorance and how that relates to the development of support for the Iraq War. Then the Iraq and Vietnam wars are mirrored to illuminate that (the direct application of) pluralistic ignorance to promote war is historically repeatable. The purchase includes a signed copy of the pluralistic ignorance essay. This paper should make you understand why peace is part of Lyceum Recordz.


The last item up for sale is a way to support Lyceum Recordz without necessarily condoning any of the other items I have listed. You may want to show your support without buying one of the other items. The truth is I put A LOT of work and information out for free! I have four blogs and 100+ tracks on Soundcloud. Purchasing a "Thank You" letter is your way of saying "Nice Work."


I ask that if you like any of the blogs or find them helpful, you tell me by buying one of the papers. If you like the album, there is an obvious purchase. And, if you like the direction of Lyceum Recordz, then there is the "Thank You" letter.

If you would like to make a purchase of any of these items, please get ahold of me through email at ____ and I will either send you an invoice over PayPal or we will make arrangements for you to send me payment through the mail in return for the desired item(s).

Thanks for reading! Please comment!

The Future of Edutainment: Why Lyceum Recordz is Hip-Hop's Intellectual Pulse

By
The Future of Conscious Rap: Why Lyceum Recordz is the Intellectual Pulse of Hip-Hop In an era of viral dances and 15-second loops, the soul of hip-hop is at a crossroads. While the mainstream airwaves are often filled with repetitive hooks, a void has been left for the "thinker"—the listener who craves more than just a beat. At Lyceum Recordz , we aren't just making music; we are solving a crisis of substance. The Return of Edutainment: A Once-in-a-Generation Approach The problem with the modern music industry is simple: it treats the audience like they can’t handle the truth. For years, there has been a lack of true edutainment —the seamless blend of education and entertainment. The last artist to truly master this approach, using the microphone as a chalkboard to elevate the masses, was KRS-One . Since then, the bridge between academic sociology and the streets has weakened. Lyceum Recordz is here to rebuild that bridge. As an artist with a deep background in sociolog...

The Edulution Album: Reflecting on Apollo’s Debut and the Education Revolution

By
This is another post I wrote back in 2012 to promote my first album EDULUTION: The Education Revolution, which has its own blog at  http://edulutionalbum.blogspot.com/ . I released a whole mixtape to promote it called "The Prefatory Mixtape." I made a couple of hundred dollars off the release of this album. I had no idea what I was doing, though, and didn't market it. This was promising, and then I became mentally ill, and all the momentum I had garnered got ruined by my own self-sabotaging and debilitating mental illness. You can find my early work as Apollo by following the links at FIENSE.com/music. Here is what I wrote in 2012 The EDULUTION album is Apollo's premier hip-hop album. This release is a blueprint for future projects and will always be returned to for guidance and inspiration. The goal of this album was to present an official first release that was designed to be of historical worth (rather than just popular) and make the project flow in a ...
