- Description
- A black and white photograph of Fat Joe, Bobby Konders, and General Degree captured outside Hot 97 Studios in New York City.
- From left to right are two unidentified men, Fat Joe, Bobby Konders, and General Degree. The group is pictured on the sidewalk, with a parking meter in the middle.
- The man on the far left is wearing a black shirt and is pointing towards the camera with two fingers of his right left hand. The man next to him wears a "Polo Jeans Co." t-shirt, long black and white shorts, white sneakers, and a baseball cap. He holds a cup with the Coca-Cola logo in his proper left hand. Fat Joe stands behind and to the right of him, wearing a white [mecca] t-shirt and long denim shorts. Next to him, Bobby Konders wears a sideways baseball cap, a white t-shirt with a microphone clipped onto it, long denim shorts, and white socks with sneakers. His proper right foot is turned to the side and his proper right arm is resting on the parking meter. General Degree is on the far-right side, wearing a white sleeveless t-shirt, jeans, a white skull cap, and a watch on his proper left wrist. He is making a gesture with his left pinky sticking out. All five men are looking directly at the camera. On the verso is an inscription, handwritten by Bill Adler, with the subjects, location, date and photographer.
