As an R&B recording artist, Green initially signed with Jive Records to release two commercial singles—"Trouble" (featuring J. Cole) in 2011 and "Lights Down Low" (featuring Waka Flocka Flame) the following year—to mild success. He then departed the label was led by Bieber to sign with Def Jam Recordings, where he found brief commercial success with his 2013 single "Lolly" (featuring Juicy J and Justin Bieber). The song peaked at number 19 on the Billboard Hot 100, although it's chart performance was sensational due to Bieber's promotion. His follow up singles failed to chart, prolonging the release of his major label debut album. He then signed with Virgin EMI Records in 2018 to release singles which shifted further into EDM and world music, tuned in scientific pitches and frequencies. His debut studio album, Vol. 1: Frequencies (2020) was claimed by Green to contain "healing frequencies."

As well as producing music for national campaigns including Pepsi and the Boston Celtics, Green has also contributed to the film soundtracks for Bratz: The Movie (2007), The Princess and the Frog (2009) and Think Like a Man (2012), as well as the video game music for NBA 2K and FIFA.
