Why is Liz Rodriguez never in the features on Em collabs?

[Wreck]

She's always credited in the writers department, but never next to the respective/individual song as a featured artist, to my surprise, which I've never understand why.

At this point, she's collaborated with Em, what, 4-5 songs roughly now? You would think at this point that she would be a featured artist, instead of just solely credited in the writers part. She's an amazing singer btw. Any ideas as to why? Just something to ponder.

Because she's considered part of the beat.

*tries to think of a sexist joke...*

Because she's considered part of the beat.

This is true I think. They probably buy the beat with the hook already laid down.

Nah... it's 'cuz the ridiculous way Interscope deals with the credits. The so called B artists or generally the not that popular artist who do hooks for certain songs are never featured.

[electroencephalogram]

It is kind of shitty IMO.

[Mr. Porter]

It's cheap because just think of the name recognition she would have with mainstream fans had she been getting feature credits on these songs.
