Droppin' In: Meet FAYNC Magazine’s First Sponsored Skateboarder

🛹 FAYNC fam, it’s time to drop in. Help us officially welcome our first-ever Sponsored Skateboarder, Malik [E.D.M.S.]! Scroll to the end to watch his video interview.

If you’ve spent any time in Fayetteville, chances are you’ve already crossed paths with Malik

Whether he’s grinding through downtown, rolling around Rowan Park, holding it down at Daville Skateshop, or setting the vibe as a DJ at local events. Malik is a true FAYNC community staple, effortlessly bridging worlds through one simple formula: being himself and doing what he loves. Skateboarding, DJing, and activism aren’t just hobbies for Malik—they’re how he shows up for his city.

So why sponsor a skater through FAYNC Magazine?

Because we believe every member of our community has a story worth telling, and Malik’s story rides perfectly alongside our mission. At FAYNC, we’re here to flip the script on traditional media—creating space for voices that deserve the spotlight but haven’t always had the platform. Malik brings a fresh perspective and a grassroots approach that helps us continue highlighting the people, initiatives, businesses, and creatives pushing Fayetteville and North Carolina forward.

This partnership is all about momentum.

We’re building something that blends art, music, culture, and community—content that informs, inspires, and empowers our readers and followers to become real-life change-makers. Malik doesn’t just skate through the community; he invests in it, and we’re proud to roll alongside him.

So, officially—meet Malik. We’re stoked to share how this partnership unfolds over the year and to support the impact he’s already making both on and off the board.
