War & Peace Vol. 2 (The Peace Disc) is the sixth studio album by American rapper Ice Cube, released March 21, 2000 on Priority Records. It is the second part from the two album project War & Peace, the previous volume, War & Peace Vol. 1 (The War Disc) was released in 1998. War & Peace Vol. 2 (The Peace Disc) peaked at number 3 on the Billboard 200 and at number 1 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, selling 188,000 copies in its first week of release.[9][10]

The album starts off with "Hello" which features former N.W.A bandmates Dr. Dre and MC Ren. The club song "You Can Do It (Put Your Back Into It)" which then later, re-released in 2004 was a UK #2 for Cube.

The album wasn't promoted that well and other new artists such as Eminem and Dr. Dre's 2001 were on top of the charts. It took 6 years for Ice Cube to release his next solo album which is his album comeback, Laugh Now, Cry Later. This was Ice Cube's final album under Priority Records.
