Dublin 15 rapper Flynn Johnson‘s THE GREEN BOX THEORY: FRIDAY EDITION is to be released as Ireland’s first KiTalbum, a physical-digital album format from the Korean music technology company KiTbetter, via Golden Éire Records.
The expanded album came out digitally on Friday November 6th, adding seven tracks to the original 12. It is his autobiographical concept album about growing up in Whitestown, Blanchardstown in the mid-to-late 2000s, centred on the green electricity box where he and his friends gathered. The new tracks return to the Friday-night gathering mentioned at the start of the original album and bring the story to a conclusion, with guests including Rebel Phoenix, Mango, Nealo, Wallfella, Rach and Nucentz.
The KiTalbum comes in a custom jewel box with a KiT device that gives access to the full 19-track album, lyrics and extra content through the KiTplayer app. It also includes 12 double-sided photographic art cards with Flynn’s handwritten lyrics, and four stickers.
KiTbetter says more than 10 million KiTalbums have been sold worldwide.

“We wanted to find a physical format that could do justice to the world Flynn has built around THE GREEN BOX THEORY. The photographs, handwritten lyrics and stories are as much a part of the project as the music itself, so the KiTalbum felt like a natural fit. We’re now exploring how that same partnership can bring something rooted in Dublin 15 to audiences internationally, through established networks that would be difficult for a small independent label to build on its own.”
– Odhran O’Brien, Director of Golden Éire Records
It is available to pre-order ahead of its physical release on Saturday November 21st, when Flynn headlines The Playground HQ in Dublin, the venue where the original album was recorded and had its listening party in November 2025. Tickets for the launch show are on Eventbrite.
