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

[edit]

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".[1] The site included this on their list of favorite rap and hip-hop albums of 2023.[2]
