Rise And Grind — An Interview With Myles Underwood

📝 Interview by Zach Baker

As with many things today, people want to know what it is. “Is it a brand? Is it a crew? Is it just an Instagram page? It is serious? Is it …a joke?

No Jeff Cecere video this Christmas, but he’s working on one 🎅

Fuck This Industry made some decks, and to commemorate, dropped a full Myles Underwood part to much critical acclaim. (“Dis might be more influential then the el toro flip 💯.”)

Another 2025 TJ Rogers part?! Yep, Another 2025 TJ Rogers part!
