House Party 2: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is the soundtrack to the 1991 American comedy film House Party 2. It was released on October 15, 1991, through MCA Records after Motown was sold to PolyGram. The soundtrack consisted of a blend of hip hop and contemporary R&B with audio excerpts from the film.
Production was handled by Teddy Riley, Tony! Toni! Toné!, Eric B. & Rakim, Eric "Quicksilver" Johnson, Eric "Vietnam" Sadler, Hank Shocklee, Keith Shocklee, Kevin Dorsey, Laney Stewart, London Jones, Marley Marl and Scratch & Source Productions, Inc. Louil Silas Jr. together with film directors Doug McHenry and George Jackson served as executive producers.
It features contributions from film stars Kid 'n Play, Bell Biv DeVoe, Bubba, Chanté Moore, Eric B. & Rakim, Keith Washington, London Jones, Ralph Tresvant, The Flex, Tony! Toni! Toné!, Wreckx-n-Effect, and the final recording from rapper MC Trouble, who died from an epileptic seizure several months before the soundtrack's release.
Serving as a sequel to 1990's House Party (soundtrack), the album is generally considered an improvement over the first, making it to No. 55 on the Billboard 200 and No. 23 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, and featured the charting singles: Kid 'N Play's "Ain't Gonna Hurt Nobody", Tony! Toni! Toné!'s "House Party II (I Don't Know What You Come to Do)" and Ralph Tresvant's "Yo Baby Yo".
