Soul Survivor II is the third studio album by hip hop producer Pete Rock, released in 2004.^[10] 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.^[11]

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.
