On this episode of The Life of Phys Podcast, I sit down with T. Eric Monroe, a visionary cultural curator and photographer whose work captures the raw energy and authenticity of 1990’s Hip Hop, skateboarding, and hardcore culture.
Born and raised in Somerset, New Jersey, T. Eric’s journey into urban culture began with a love for skateboarding and photography. Over time, his camera became a tool to document not just images, but the stories, people, and communities shaping one of the most influential cultural movements of our time.
His body of work offers a unique window into a transformative era, one where music, street culture, and creativity collided to leave a lasting legacy. Through his lens, T. Eric continues to preserve the authenticity of these moments, offering future generations a chance to experience the spirit of the 90’s.
In this episode, we discuss:
T. Eric’s roots in skateboarding and photography
His journey into the world of 90’s Hip Hop and hardcore culture
Why documenting cultural history is vital for future generations
The intersection of music, skateboarding, and street culture
How photography became his way of preserving authenticity
This is a powerful conversation with T. Eric Monroe, celebrating the golden age of Hip Hop and the cultures that defined a generation.
