The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original image. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.

Identification and critical commentary in the Kris Kross article, a subject of public interest. The image confirms to readers they have reached the correct article, and illustrates the subject.

No free alternative could be created to illustrate the topic in question. Kris Kross has been split for four years, Kelly has been deceased for four years, and a new one is unlikely. A free contemporary image would not convey the same information.

Use of the promotional photograph in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above. The image meets general Wikipedia content requirements and is encyclopaedic.
The "Kris Kross", "Ruffhouse" and "Columbia Records" logos are visible framing the photo, supporting the claim that it was originally used to promote the band.
