Tha Streetz Iz a Mutha is the second studio album by American rapper Kurupt. It was released on November 16, 1999 through Antra Records with distribution from Artemis Records. Kurupt lost distribution from A&M Records due to the corporate merger between PolyGram and Universal Music Group in early 1999.

The album features the single "Who Ride Wit Us". The track "Callin' Out Names" is a diss track directed towards rappers Ja Rule and DMX, amongst others.
