A color photograph of Erick Sermon. He is wearing a black t-shirt that reads [ERICK / SERMON] in white, white pants, and a black bandana around his neck. He is also wearing several necklaces, a pinky ring on his proper left hand, an earring in his left ear, a watch on his left wrist, and a bracelet on his right wrist. His hands are raised in front of him and he is standing on a brick street. The photo was taken from a higher angle, looking down on Erick Sermon. There is a white border around three-quarters of the image. There is no border on the proper right side. It is thicker on the top and bottom. There is a small, yellowing tear on the top from where a piece of tape used to be. The back of the photograph has light grey text repeated in diagonal lines.
