collaboration section?

Maybe this article could benefit from having a section in the discography that details their collabs before releasing music under the name, The Carters.--Ottamieh (talk) 03:58, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in The Carters

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of The Carters's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
