"2000 Fold" is Styles of Beyond's debut album, released on Bilawn Records in 1997 (then re-released in 1999 on SpyTech Records). This album was only released in an "Edited Version", whereas "Megadef" was only released in an "Explicit Version". "2000 Fold" wasn't in print for several years, and was then only available in Download form via iTunes. But in July 2007, it was made available once again in CD format, on both the Projekt Revolution and SpyTech Records official web-stores.

Also, the music performed by Click tha Supah Latin on "Click Beat Box (Interlude)" was changed.
