How to Add Song Credits to Genius
Credits are the list of performers who participated in the creation of a song. We break credits down into the following categories:
Artist: The Artist credit is attributed to the artist(s) who the song was released by. Credits on Genius should be listed in accordance to how the song is listed on streaming services. If the primary artist listed on streaming services is a list of multiple artists (Migos, Nicki Minaj & Cardi B's "MotorSport" for example), group the artists together in the "Artist" field, then create an additional "Primary Artists" additional role with the artists listed out individually.
Writers: The writer song credit is attributed to the artists who wrote the song—this includes both the artists who composed the music and those that wrote the lyrics.
Featured Artists: Featured artists are guest artists that substantially contribute to a song—usually through vocals and songwriting.
Producers: Producers handle the composition of music—in hip-hop they're generally the person(s) who made the beat.
Additional Credits: This field covers all other artists who contributed to the song—this includes artists who played specific instruments, handled various forms of engineering, etc.
