This episode seems to be about Paper Boi and wanting to recapture his lost love of the art of rapping.
What we see is a person that represents that personification right in front of his eyes (who he thinks stole his phone). It's the final song that he plays to Paper Boi that seems to be a haunting reflection of paper bois love and therefore loss of the music he plays. Darius had brought up that the venue they played at is haunted, so this seems to be a literal and metaphorical ghost (Wiley) of paper boi that speaks to the group.
The only thing I don't understand is why the group would continue to let Sox continue with them after his demeanor last episode, however I have a sneaking suspicion that he has a lot more of a part to play in this seasons wild ride of symbolism.
