- Description
- A black and white photograph of the hip hop group Stetsasonic captured offstage at the roller rink United Skates of America in Queens, NY.
- The group is pictured crouched in two rows in front of a plain wall. In the front row is Fruitkwan, Daddy-O, and Delite. In the back row is Wise, DBC, and Prince Paul. Most members are wearing all white, except for DBC in the back middle, who is in all black. Daddy-O in the center front also wears a diamond Mercedes-Benz logo necklace and, next to him, Delite wears a dark-colored Kangol bucket hat. Wise, in the back left, poses with his proper left index finger resting on his chin; the other men pose with their arms on their knees. On the back is a sticker with the [eyejammie.com] logo and text reading [Title: Stetsasonic, offstage, United Skates of America, Queens. Front: Fruitkwan, Daddy-O, Delite.
