A black and white photograph of the Geto Boys, (left to right) Willie D, Bushwick Bill, and Scarface. The three men are pictured standing on grass or straw, looking directly at the camera. Willie D stands on the left, wearing a dark-colored button down shirt, open to show a white Prince t-shirt, and jeans. Bill is in the center, wearing a black hat, black t-shirt with [HIP-HOP IS DEAD] printed in white, over a white-tshirt, jeans and black shoes. He wears sunglasses with a lens only over his proper right eye. Scarface stands on the right, turned so his body faces Willie and Bill, but his face is turned to the camera. He wears a backwards black baseball cap, a white t-shirt, jeans, and dark-colored shoes. The background behind them is entirely in shadow. On the verso is a handwritten inscription by Bill Adler with the subject, location, date and photographer's name.
