Hello,

I'm just wondering what the difference is between featuring (eg. Vanguard (Ft. King Minos) - Bullwack) as opposed to collaboration (Vanguard - Bullwack & King Minos)? I assume that if it's a vocalist featured on the track, they probably just did their bit over a completed track, but I guess I'm wondering what the difference is when it's one producer featuring another vs. collaborating?

I tried googling already, and searching this forum, so I hope I'm not asking something that's been answered already.

I'm also partly asking because I recently produced a beat for a rap acapella I found online, and I'm not sure what the best way to credit the rapper is.

Thanks for your help!

i'm not quite sure myself

I've seen collabs and features on the same track (N-Type & Seven ft. Youngsta) where the feature wasn't even a vocalist, so to me the definition of each seems to be a bit unclear.
