In the 13-second burner phone clip, recorded at privately run Addiewell Prison in West Lothian, he boasts of making illicit vodka.
The Manchester thug says: “Trust me bro, deep in a rap. Told you’ze every time, yo.
“In the f*****’ vandal. Still in Scotland, in the vandal, cookin’ vodka. Do you know what I’m trying to say? Vodka, out of hooch, bro.”
Johnson was jailed with two others in December 2019 for planning a shooting in Glasgow disguised as posties.
He and Richard Carty, 44, and Ezekial Aremu, 26, were locked up after pistols, bullets and Royal Mail uniforms were found at a flat in the city.
The video has emerged as Johnson, from Prestwich, Bury, comes towards the end of a five years and four months stretch over the serious organised crime rap.
In it, the masked hood gestures down towards a yellow bucket covered in plastic sheeting as an unknown prisoner films him.
Johnson and Aremu were nicked in a dramatic armed police sting outside the Forge Shopping Centre in March, 2019.
Officers pounced on their grey Mercedes car, which contained a balaclava, £1,000 of counterfeit £20 notes and two cans of petrol.
Carty was later nicked at a flat, where a holdall in the bedroom contained a Luger pistol, six bullets and parts of a Glock pistol.
Detectives also discovered a cardboard box addressed to a vet’s practice with the space inside adapted so that “a handgun could be concealed and readily accessed”, the High Court in Glasgow was told.
Carty, from Salford, was jailed for six years and six months while Aremu, from Bury, was sentenced to six. Prosecutor Murdo McTaggart said: “The target or targets have not been identified but the crime intended must have involved the use of disguises to avoid suspicion.”
An HMP Addiewell spokesperson said: “We do not tolerate the use of any illicit items and deploy a range of tactics to prevent access to any such items.
“Where individual prisoners are identified and found in possession of contraband, we take action immediately.”
