"Rider Pt. 2" is a song recorded by G-Unit. It was released in April 2008 as the second single from their second album, T·O·S (Terminate on Sight). The song was featured on G-Unit's mixtape, Elephant In The Sand and the beat was originally used in Where Them Hammerz At? by 40 Glocc, and he was also featured on a version of Rider Pt. 2. 50 Cent uses the Auto-Tune effect in the intro and chorus of the song. The track is a diss toward fellow East Coast-rapper Fat Joe. The clean version removes all profanity while the video version removes all profanity and violence. Almost half of the lyrics were censored.

The Rider Pt. 2 video premiered Wednesday May 28 on BET. Young Buck's verse was excluded on the video despite his verse being included on the album.

Rider Pt. 2 was used as the entrance song for Pete Sell at UFC 96.

The official remix of the single is called "Así Soy (Rider Pt. 2 Official Remix)", and it features the reggaeton duo Wisin & Yandel. It was released on June 2008. G-Unit made a surprise appearance and performed the remix with Wisin & Yandel at Solid Fest in Caracas, Venezuela on January 31, 2009.

Rider Pt. 2 is the second part of the Rider songs. The first part is known as Rider 4 Real. The track includes different lyrics and a different beat. The track first apperared on the Return of the Body Snatchers mixtape by G-Unit. A music video was made of Rider 4 Real.

"Rider Freestyle" is a version recorded by rapper KRS-One in 2008.

Another remix has the same beat as "Rider Pt. 2" and includes excerpts of G-Unit's verses from "Pt. 2" but also features rappers Papoose and Lil' Kim.
