Soul Survivor II is the third studio album by hip hop producer Pete Rock, released in 2004. The album features guest appearances from a large number of hip hop artists, including Pharoahe Monch, Little Brother, RZA, GZA, Talib Kweli, Dead Prez, and former partner CL Smooth.
Pete, who dropped verses on the majority of the songs found on his solo debut Soul Survivor, performs only a single verse on this album ("Niggas Know") but handles several choruses throughout. Rock's engineer, Jamey Staub, co-produces a number of songs on the project.
The album's front cover is a nod to the Miles Davis album Tutu, which features the jazz trumpeter in an identical, albeit black and white, portrait shot.
