Raydar Ellis and Quite Nyce met at a show where Raydar was playing
with
his band. They stayed in contact over some time eventually planning
a
bigger group project; Quite Nyce who is a member of the group RADIx
and
Raydar who is affiliated with Short Bus Alumni & Project Move.
After
months of trying to coordinate everything Quite Nyce called Raydar
and
said "Why don't WE just do a collab project?” Raydar agreed. He came
to
QN’s studio and they went to work. Their chemistry, passion and desire
to
speak out and be heard is this album. Champs Vs. The League is a
project
full of positivity, pride in family and community, self respect,
reflection and
hard work. It is truly an intelligent breathe of fresh air in
the current
stagnant, un-innovative genre that is hip hop.
