- Description
- A color photograph of Naughty By Nature.
- Treach is in the center. He is wearing a black leather jacket with circle patches on each side. The patch on the proper right reads [MALCOM X] at the top and [WORLD TOUR] on the bottom. The patch on the left reads [- AND A MULE F- / BROOKLYN, N.Y.]. He is wearing denim shorts, long white socks, black boots, and a black hat with a white logo that reads [A/HAT]. He is also wearing several rings, and a metal chain necklace with a lock on it. He has a goatee. His arms are stretched out in front of him. Vin Rock is behind him on the proper right side. He is wearing a black and white shirt and a black jacket. DJ Kay Gee is on the proper left side. He is wearing a black coat, black pants, a black hat, and sunglasses. They are standing on the curb of a sidewalk and there is a brick wall with graffiti in the background.
- There is a white border around the image. It is thinner on the top and bottom and thicker on the two sides. There is a tear at the top center from where a piece of tape used to be. The back of the photograph has light grey text repeated diagonal lines facing the right side of the paper. There are two yellow post-it notes at the top as well as some tears on the top and sides from where tape used to be. There is an inscription by Bill Adler on the bottom, handwritten in blue ink. There are several ink smudges on the page.
