Crunk Hits, Vol. 2 is the second installment in TVT Records' Crunk Hits compilation series, released on August 22, 2006. Executively produced by Steve Gottlieb, the album features 18 popular hip-hop singles mainly from the label artists, in-house record producers or its affiliates at that time. The opening track "Snap Yo Fingers" was intentionally released as the lead single from Lil' Jon's debut solo album Crunk Rock, but was left out of the album.
In the United States, the album debuted at number 48 on the Billboard 200, number 26 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, number 10 on the Top Rap Albums, atop the Independent Albums, and number 2 on the Compilation Albums charts.
The European version has slightly different tracklist with exclusive video content.
A sequel to the 2005's Crunk Hits, the album serves as a precursor to subsequent Crunk Hits Vol. 3 and Crunk Hits Vol. 4, both released in 2007.
