Tory Lanez tells us that he's written songs by Travi$ Scott & T.I., Jeezy & Akon and August Alsina & Meek Mill.

Tory Lanez has worked hard to achieve a successful solo career, one that you think wouldn't necessitate a side gig, but it turns out the Toronto native also has a fairly prolific career ghostwriting for other artists. 

In an exclusive interview with HNHH, T. Lanez reveals that we've actually heard a couple of huge tracks he had a hand in writing, and that there's more on the way. In an offhand way that downplays the level of artists he's writing for, Lanez says he wrote Travi$ Scott and T.I.'s "Quintana Pt. 2" (from Scott's Days Before Rodeo) and Jeezy and Akon's "Been Getting Money" (from Jeezy's Seen It All). In addition to that, Lanez says a song he wrote for Meek Mill and August Alsina will appear on Dreams Worth More Than Money. Although he's uncredited (as is usually the case with ghostwriters), it's still a huge deal for his career.
