R&B sensations B2K have leaped into the Christmas genre with true enthusiasm, giving standards like "Jingle Bells," and "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" some spirited dance groove and off-kilter beats, as well as giving the lyrics a new twist. On the underage quartet"s version of " Santa Claus is Coming to Town," Old Saint Nick isn"t a jolly old elf, but is simply the "dude with black boots and a red suit" who doesn"t come to your hood if you"re not good. And while we"re on the subject, we"re not sure what B2K will be getting in their Christmas stockings, since their rather explicit "Sexy Boy Christmas" is definitely naughty and a little inappropriate for a holiday disc. But counterbalancing that is a personal tune called "My First Christmas," which celebrates the innocent joys of your first yuletide in your own place, as Jerome Jones raps: "I"m breaking my neck trying to get to the tree/ Trying to see what my mom and dad got for me." Makes you remember that Omarion, Raz-B, Lil Fizz, and J-Boog only stopped believing in Santa Claus a few years before recording this collection. --Jaan Uhelszki
