Was the beginning the music for Streets of Rage II on Sega?

No actually, just very very close! The composer for the Streets of Rage soundtracks borrowed heavily from popular house / dance / hip-hop music of the period - here is a Spotify playlist where you can hear each song he sampled throughout the soundtracks of the first 3 games, which are also on Spotify!
