Hidden Stash II: The Kream of the Krop is the fifth release from Orange County, California United States of America, rappers Kottonmouth Kings. It is their third full-length LP. 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." Add into account the song "On The Run," which was a more mellow jam-band kind of sound, and the foundation had been laid for the sounds that the Kings would go on to explore more fully on their next album, Rollin' Stoned.

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 full-length 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 Boyz cover that was recorded for the compilation album Take A Bite Outta Rhyme.
