Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

A black-and-white photograph of six DeVoux brothers of the hip hop group, the Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E. Taken in Los Angeles, California, the DeVoux brothers are variously posed in front of an exterior white wall with a diagonal edge. Four of the brothers are standing against the wall. The brother on the far left wears a white tank with a cross necklace and stands facing forward with his chin pointed up. Next to him, another brother stands facing the wall, with a plaid button up shirt removed from around his shoulders to expose a large tattoo reading [DEVOUX]. The two brothers standing on the right both wear denim overalls over white tank tops and hats. Two brothers are posed in the foreground on the right side of the photograph, squatting and facing each other, their right hands clasped together in a gesture.
