Crossword Genius

Talked rhythmically, sounding ecstatic (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rapped

'talked rhythmically' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'sounding ecstatic' is the wordplay.
'sounding' shows a homophone (sound like).
'ecstatic' becomes 'rapt' (I've seen this in another clue).
'rapt' sounds like 'RAPPED'.

(Other definitions for rapped that I've seen before include "Performed a kind of music" , "Struck" , "Spoke rhyming monologue to rock music" , "Severely criticised" , "Talked rhythmically" .)
