Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

A color photograph of rapper and producer Erick Sermon. Sermon is on the proper left side of the image, only partially visible in the frame. He is wearing a navy jacket with a red and white [Fubu] logo and a white shirt underneath. He has a goatee and buzzed hair. Most of the proper left side of his body is out of frame, with only his head and chest partially visible. There is a man standing in the background. This man may be Def Squad member Keith Murray, but he is too out of focus to be identified. He is wearing a light blue jersey with a white shirt under it and a yellow and white [Fubu] logo on it. He is wearing a black hat and light denim jeans and his hands are folding in front of him. An inscription at the bottom, handwritten by Bill Adler, identifies the subject and the photographer.
