Five ghost-written top Hiphop tracks!

It’s so obvious that when a songwriter pens a hit for an artist, it should be acknowledged publicly. Their name should be included in the official recording credits.

Not one time but many, big names in the industry worldwide have had their lyrics written for them by a ghostwriter!

The chitchats of who-wrote-what is always there occasionally tossing fuel on the fire. Just here at home, Hivo Ndio Kunaendanga hitmaker Majirani confessed last week or rather ‘claimed’ that he wrote verses for Kenrazy and Visita in the song. The two have, however, disagreed.

Bottom line, though, ghostwriting is as old as Methuselah, and as common as it’s ever been. Below we give you a list of five ghost-written Hiphop tracks.
