Becoming i is the second and final album by the disbanded nu metal music group Unloco. The album was released on March 11, 2003 via Maverick Records. Produced by metal-veteran, Andrew Murdock, the band's sound took an unexpected, somber turn toward a more melodic, metal-acoustic style. The second nu metal offering included two acoustic tracks -- "Watching Me Slip" and "Texas" -- in an ambitious attempt to boost their limited fanbase. Sonically, the new style combined earth-shattering screams with resolute, poetic candour, surprising old and new fans alike.

Despite positive reviews from critics and the promotional support of their label -– with famed appearances at Ozzfest 2003 and tours with Korn and Disturbed -– the album failed to meet commercial expectations and the band disbanded later the same year. The reasons behind the disbandment are still a mystery, though Unloco deny that they were dropped by their record label Maverick.
