Three identical black-and-white photographs of Rakim posing with a white Mercedez Benz car. Rakim is leaning against the car's left headlight, his right leg raised on the bumper, elbows on his right knee. The car has a large plate reading [BENZEETO] in black text above a New York license plate reading [RAKIM]. A New York City street and buildings is visible in the background. On .1, an inscription by Bill Adler identifies the photographer, subject, date, and location. There are no inscriptions, front or back, on the remaining two prints.
