The songs in the game have been selected by EA(TM) TRAX -- the music initiative that EA debuted in 2001. The program is dedicated to bringing gamers today's best music through EA's videogames.

"This is one of the most exciting announcements in music this summer. Bringing together the haunting vocals of Jim Morrison and the timeless music of The Doors with the cool energy of Snoop Dogg is revolutionary. And if you want to hear the song ... forget radio, forget CDs -- it's ONLY in the game," said Steve Schnur, Worldwide Executive of Music and Audio at EA.

In addition to the remix song from Snoop Dogg featuring The Doors, Need for Speed Underground 2 boasts an exclusive track from Capone, as well as new music from Chingy, Mudvayne, Terror Squad, Xzibit and Queens of the Stone Age. Rounding out the line-up are new tunes from Felix da Housecat, Helmet, Killing Joke, Sly Boogy, Snapcase, The Bronx and Unwritten Law that'll set the stage, and the streets on fire. The complete in-game soundtrack includes:
