Ghosts in the (Hit) Machine
Many of today\u2019s biggest songs are written and produced by people whose names don\u2019t appear anywhere in the credits. They\u2019re called ghostwriters and ghost producers, and they\u2019re a huge part of the music industry. So what\u2019s it like to watch your song become a hit when you can\u2019t legally talk about it? And how do you get in the mindset of a legendary rap star, in order to write verses for them?
