The trio met Derrick "Fatlip" Stewart and producer John "J-Swift" Martinez at an after-school music program called South Central Unit.
The original recordings on Cydeways were handled by J-Swift, L.A. Jay & Slimkid3, J Dilla (known then as Jay Dee) and Fatlip.
The FatLip brand was once again used for Curve's next album, The New Adventures of Curve, which was released through the band's website in 2002.
