HipHopDX says that Champs Vs. The League is “a quality album” that features “what may be some of 2009’s best produced tracks.”
“This is good underground hip-hop, and the best thing about it are Ellis’ beats – sometimes hard, sometimes smooth, always on point.” – Jonah Flicker, Lost At Sea
“From the jump, this project has that good ol’ Native Tongues feel to it. Two skilled emcees not willing to scream, drown their lyrics in negativity, cursing, gun play, drug dealing, and misogyny are blending their sound to provide an uplifting direction to a self-destructive industry….
All in all, Champs Vs. The League is hip hop’s return to love. Quite Nyce and Raydar Ellis have delivered a classic that will probably be slept on but has the potential to open eyes to the beauty that positive hip hop has.”

Here’s a new banger from Quite Nyce & Raydar Ellis – “The Spirit” – soulful and thought-provoking, this is one of my favorite tracks from the album “Champs Vs. The League.”
According to Raydar Ellis “The Spirit” is “a song about having enough self pride to go out there and better yourself and in turn the people around you. ” For Quite Nyce, “The Spirit” means: “Exposing everything you have inside without hesitation to showcase the true. Many people wear masks and hide behind vices to protect themselves. The Spirit is about being you and bettering people around you. We all can be The Spirit.”
Champs Vs. The League is out March 24th on Brick Records.
