label: Description
content: Stephney is pictured standing in a dark interior space with a chandelier behind him. He is wearing a black jacket over a light colored button down shirt. The jacket has the name "Bill" embroidered in white on the proper right side and a line drawing of a turntable needle embroidered in white on the proper left side. He also wears a dark colored baseball cap with the brim tilted up. He looks straight at the camera, his proper right hand at his waist with his fingers curled into a loose fist and his other hand down at his side. He stands next to a shoulder-height partition with wood panels. Other individuals are partially visible in the dark background behind him. On the verso is an adhesive label with the Eyejammie.com logo and [Title: Bill Stephney as VP/Promotions, / Def Jam Recordings / Photographer: Harry Allen] printed in black text.
