Description
A black and white photograph of Doctor Dré & Flavor Flav.
The two are pictured in an interior office of a radio station with several other people. Dré is on the left side of the image, leaning against a desk and looking up. He wears a white jersey with the number [65]. He has a bag of records over his shoulder and holds zipper pouch or bag in front of him with one hand. A wall of cubby shelves filled with papers is behind him. Flavor Flav stands to the right of the image, looking at Dré. He wears a black baseball cap with white text, a white polo shirt, and black shorts with white text. He holds some fliers, a cassette tape and a joint in his hands. Behind him is a wood paneled wall with handwritten signs and a wall clock. One of the signs stars [ALL F.M. ENGINEERS]. Two people stand in the partially open doorway between Dré and Flav.
