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 color photograph of the three members of Cypress Hill on the steps at the entrance to the Canal Street A, C, E subway stop. From left to right are DJ Muggs, Sen Dog, and B-Real. All three wear blue jeans, black jackets, and black hats. Sen Dog's black jacket is open to reveal a black Cypress Hill t-shirt with a red, white and black version of the band's logo, a compass rose with skull and marijuana leaf. Around his neck, Muggs has a white tag with illegible black text on it. The station sign reading [Canal St. Station / A C E (in blue circles)] is visible above them and bright, golden light from the station appears behind them. The verso has an inscription by Bill Adler at the bottom, handwritten in blue ink, with the subject, location, date and photographer.
