Flynn Johnson released his debut album The Green Box Theory via Golden Éire Records on November 7. It's a concept record about place, memory and everyday decision-making in mid-to-late 2000s Dublin 15. The project treats the estate's green electricity box as a meeting point, memorial and recurring narrator, tracing the "children of the hill" as they learn to find beauty in a place many people describe as broken.

In this interview, Flynn Johnson talks through his journey as a young rapper from Blanchardstown, exploring the duality of his hometown and the responsibility he feels to inspire the next generation. He reflects on the evolution of Irish hip hop, the collaborative energy of Golden Éire Records, and the guiding influence of his mentor ROC. We start off by talking about the closing track on the album, '4Eva', which acts as a manifesto for his community, grounding his music in authenticity, history, and pride.
