Developed 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. While Candy Green will probably remind listeners of the Swizzy-produced Candy Paint (off Bone Thugs N’ Harmony’s Strength N’ Loyalty), the two songs sound completely different. A video for the song was directed by Tom Gatsoulis and can be found at the official Sound of Color Website.

I read about this ad campaign last week and after looking at the four other musicians Gap has chosen, I was surprised to find Swizz Beatz among them. I personally don't like Swizz Beatz behind the mic, his real work is behind the sliders, but he has succeeded at the entire producer-to-rapper transition better than most.

how ironic it is that they chose a person in the rap industry to do the color green (money)...i like the beat but the lyrics as expected were just ok

I would say it's a forced effort by swizz, if you watch the music video you can kind of get what he was going for. But compared to the other 4 songs, it's not really all that relevant to the color green and what it's supposed to symbolize.

Who are the other 4 artists, I'd like to hear how they represent the different colors. This one doesn't make any sense so far, I am curious to see what "The Gap" was going for.

I kinda like the beat here. Swizz doesn't really have a great flow and it shows on here. I think its OK. I would listen to it again though maybe...

Candy Paint is alot better. This however doesn't make me think of green, but grey, like the cover of Swizzy's album, just like all of his beatz...

I love Swizz Beatz as a producer, and when he produced Jay-Z's "Girl's Bestfriend" he was a true genius for making something new, but his lyrics here are garbage but i have to give the beat atleast two stars!
