The album peaked at number 100 on the Billboard 200.
While the album title refers to Hidden Stash, the KMK's post-Royal Highness collection of b-sides, rarities, and remixes, the album itself is a regular 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 Boys cover version that was recorded for the compilation album Take A Bite Outta Rhyme.
On September 15, 2009, Hidden Stash II was re-issued with the Dopeumentary DVD as Double Dose V3, the third and final double dose set.
