Hidden Stash II: The Kream of the Krop is the fifth release from Orange County, California United States of America, rappers Kottonmouth Kings released on October 9, 2001[1]. With this album, the Kings first introduced the idea of adding punk rock into their mix of styles with the songs "Dying Daze" and "Bi-Polar." Along with "On The Run," which was a more mellow jam-band sound. The foundation had been laid down the sounds that the Kings would go on to explore more fully on their next album, Rollin' Stoned. As of the week of October 27, 2001 the album peaked at #100 on the Billboard 200.[2]

While the album title refers to Hidden Stash, the Kings' post-Royal Highness collection of b-sides, rarities, and remixes, the album itself is a regular studio album. The only song on Hidden Stash, Vol. 2 that had been previously released was "My Mind's Playin' Tricks on Me," a Geto Boys cover version that was recorded for the compilation album Take A Bite Outta Rhyme.
