His hands are raised in front of him and he is standing on a brick street. The photo was taken from a higher angle, looking down on Erick Sermon. There is a white border around three-quarters of the image. There is no border on the proper right side. It is thicker on the top and bottom. There is a small, yellowing tear on the top from where a piece of tape used to be. The back of the photograph has light grey text repeated in diagonal lines.
