1. Yes; song writing can be outsourced.

2. No; there's no set period to release singles per se. It's depends, or should be on creative drive, promotional plan and/or relevance.

3. I don't know prior to the 'Limpopo' era - likely not - but probably has a fair share of Kcee's songs written by him these days.

4. Bros, dat one na big question greatly dependent on preference but personally, I thing Kcee has put out more hits on a smash hit scale. Talent? IMO, I think Iyanya is more diverse vocally and musically of he wants to be.

5. According to reports, titled it and likely co-wrote. Dont think he wrote it outrightly but just my guess.

6. Depends... there are the mushroom outfits that just start out and operate like investors and there are the properly structured labels in Nigeri, that is. Traditionally, a label is to have admin, A&R... departments so the former shouldn't in an ideal situation qualify. Heck some of the so-called labels don't even have agreements with artistes and know nothing about the workings of the business... a label is not a studio and is more than just a name.

7. No.

Hope I was of help.
