Everything to know about Punch, amid his professional split with singer SZA

American rapper and record producer Punch aka Terrence Louis Henderson Jr, had executive produced several hit albums including Kendrick Lamar's Section.80 and Schoolboy Q's Habits & Contradictions. According to an article by NewsX, the TDE CEO first met SZA, over a decade earlier, in 2011.
