Madlib began Yesterdays New Quintet in 2000, releasing their first full-length Angles Without Edges in 2001. As the group progressed, a plan was developed for each of the band members to release "solo" records and to introduce new members and groups into what would be called "Yesterdays Universe".

Phase 3: Ahmad Miller – 2003
Phase 4: Monk Hughes & the Outer Realm – 2004

Towards the end of this cycle, several new YNQ spinoffs were announced on the compilation album Yesterdays Universe – Sound Directions, The Last Electro-Acoustic Space Jazz & Percussion Ensemble, Young Jazz Rebels, and others.
