Chris Stylez[edit]

@Georgejulian351: Let's avoid an edit war. Here are the credits provided at the end of the season 2 premiere of Tales, which I used to cite the "Personnel" subsection:

"BROTHERS" PERFORMED BY KANYE WEST FEATURING CHARLIE WILSON
KANYE WEST APPEARS COURTESY OF GETTING OUT OUR DREAMS II, LLC/DEF JAM RECORDINGS
WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY SEVEN FOR EVERY LIFETIME A KING/MARCUS AURELIUS MUSIC LLC.
AND IRV GOTTI FOR TOP DAWG PRODUCTIONS
CO-PRODUCED BY BINK! FOR HUMBLE MONSTA

Nowhere is Chris Stylez credited. I know Seven posted the original demo on his website, along with an "extended version" that mixes in the demo with parts of the official song, but he is not on the actual song. We can re-add Stylez if he appears as an additional vocalist on the official liner notes (if that ever comes out).

@Nice4What: Do you have a personal vendetta against Chris Stylez? The Forbes article very clearly lays out how Chris Stylez was involved in the creation of "Brothers" and how his vocals are in fact on the track along with Charlie Wilson. TV credits do not contain a full label copy contributor list (additional vocals, engineer, mixer, musicians, etc) they generally only show who has publishing and master ownership. I can agree that he is not a featured vocalist but Chris Stylez is most certainly an additional vocalist and was cited as such. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Georgejulian351 (talk • contribs)

@Nice4What: Here's the article, might be a good idea to actually read the article before removing a credible source.
