Mas Flow 2 is the second compilation album by reggaeton producers Luny Tunes. The album was a joint venture with reggaeton artist Baby Ranks as he was featured in virtually every song in the album. Many of reggaeton's biggest names were featured in the album, such as Daddy Yankee, Wisin & Yandel, Zion & Lennox, Tito "El Bambino", Ivy Queen, Hector "El Father", Voltio, and many others. Mas Flow 2 is one of the most critically acclaimed Latin albums of the year, and is considered to be substantially superior to the previous album. It also featured some artists from outside the reggaeton genre, such as Frankie J, Cultura Profetica, Deevani, Tony Tun-Tun, Spliff Star, among others.

The song "Mírame" performed by Daddy Yankee and Deevani covers a 2001 Hindi song "Eli re Eli" from the Bollywood movie "Yaadein".[1] Mas Flow 2 won the Lo Nuestro Award for Urban Album of the Year.[2] Mas Flow 2 is one of the few reggaeton albums to sell over a million copies worldwide and remains as the most successful compilation in the genre's history. It was certified gold in 2006 by the RIAA for sales of over 500,000 copies in the United States alone.[3]

The sound introduced in the albums Mas Flow 1 and Mas Flow 2 is noted for inspiring the modern day sound of the reggaeton genre in the music of artists such as J Balvin, Nicky Jam, Farruko and Anuel AA.[4] [5]
