One thing that’s not surprising when it comes to Push is that there was definitely a time when he didn’t have braids. Considering how long he’s been rocking them, you’d think he just popped out the womb with hangtime. However, according to a Noisey interview , Push only started growing out his hair after he lost a friend who had braids. He also credits it to being a Virginia thing. Luckily, iconic photographer Jonathan Mannion is here to remind us of a clean cut Push. He photographed Push in 1999 when he was still rhyming with his brother Malice (now  No Malice) as Clipse . Check out Jonathan’s Instagram post below!   Classic. Swipe through for some more braid-less Pusha T in Clipse’s “The Funeral” music video off their unreleased  Exclusive Audio Footage  album.
