Ricky Lix and Brother Tom Sos deliver "Theophany" – a single from their EP *The Elysian Fields*, released through the Gangsta Hippy imprint. The production comes courtesy of Micall Parknsun, a veteran of the UK hip-hop underground who carries weight both as an MC and a beatmaker. Visuals by Lieu complete the package. The title itself – "Theophany," meaning a visible manifestation of the divine – sets the conceptual bar high, and the EP title *The Elysian Fields* continues that mythological thread. This sits in that particular pocket of UK rap that draws more from dusty crates and East Coast sensibilities than from grime or drill – a lane that Parknsun has helped carve out over the years. For heads tuned into the British boom bap circuit, this is one to watch.
