Meka is just one of thousands of artists whose music is on streaming platforms despite the fact that there are no real human footprints behind them

Even just within the article, this isn't true, is it? FN Meka had humans writing and recording stuff, the people that hired those humans just put a fake name and identity over it because they thought it would sell better or something. This is just the article discovering the concept of ghostwriters.

Just wait until the author discovers Gorillaz and Dethklok.
