BackgroundDeveloped by Gap Clothing and Rehab (a San Francisco-based production company), five artists across multiple genres were asked to record original material that represented the Sound of Color. Asked to write and perform a treatment for the color green, Swizz Beatz partnered with producers The Individuals, and together they created a song about driving in a drop top through the flashy streets of Miami, Florida.[http://www.djbooth.net/index/tracks/review/swizz-beatz-candy-green/ Listen to Swizz Beatz - Candy Green] Swizz also stated in an interview "I didn't want to do a song I wasn't comfortable giving to the DJs," Swizz tells Billboard. "I took the approach of, 'How would I use green in a painting without making green the main ingredient, and use it in the slickest way?'"[http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.6397/title.swizz-beatz-goes-green-with-the-gap Swizz Beatz Goes Green With The Gap] Music videoTom Gatsoulis directed the music video.
