Step Up 2: The Streets boasts some of today’s hottest artists and beats that leave the listener wanting to get up and test out his own fancy footwork. Although the album features hit songs by Flo Rida (“Low”), Plies (“Hypnotized”) and Trey Songz (“Can’t Help But Wait”), the fact that these songs climbed the charts several months ago gives the album an outdated feel. Luckily, new music from artists like Missy Elliott (“Shake Your Pom Pom” and “Ching-A-Ling”) and newcomer Bayje make the album worth adding to your collection. – ivory m. jones
