Classic Hip Hop Pic: Mobb Deep, Nas, and Raekwon

Check out this classic hip hop pic from the mid 90s...Mobb Deep, Nas, and Raekwon in the studio. Havoc and Raekwon are standing behind, while Prodigy and Nas are sitting (I'm not sure if Nas is sitting or squatting). Can you identify what Rae has in his left hand? lol!
