Black Elvis 2 is the 21st solo studio album by American hip hop musician Kool Keith. The concept album is a sequel to his 1999 Black Elvis/Lost in Space.
Reception
Editors at AllMusic rated this album 4 out of 5 stars, with critic Paul Simpson writing that this album is "a little less chrome-plated than its predecessor", the experimental Black Elvis/Lost in Space, but it "is some of Keith's most successful work in ages, recapturing some of the magic of his '90s peak". The site included this on their list of favorite rap and hip-hop albums of 2023.
