AmeriKKKan Korruption is the debut solo mixtape by American rapper Capital STEEZ, released in 2012. It features original production by Pro Era members Joey Bada$$, Bruce LeeKix, and Kirk Knight, among others. AmeriKKKan Korruption was conceived by STEEZ during high school, and noticing how the people around him were slaves to "television, media, and the daily motions of what we call the AMERIKKKAN Dream."[1] The album was re-released the same year under the title AmeriKKKan Korruption Reloaded with seven new songs.

It is the only solo mixtape released by STEEZ during his lifetime. As a member of the group Pro Era, he contributed vocals to their mixtape P.E.E.P: The aPROcalypse in late 2012. On 24 December 2012, he died by suicide by jumping from a building in Manhattan at the age of nineteen.

Notes

  • Track 1 uses an instrumental version of "All Caps", performed by Madvillain and produced by Madlib.
  • Track 2 is an interpolation of “dead presidents II” by Jay-Z from his 1996 album reasonable doubt which is an interpolation of “the world is yours” by Nas in his 1994 album illmatic. This makes sense as Joey Bada$$ the producer was a huge fan of Nas
  • Track 3 uses the instrumental song "Diary", produced by Free the Robots.
  • Track 4 uses an instrumental version of "Sound is Vibration", performed by Atmosphere and produced by Ant.
  • Track 6 uses an instrumental version of "Dead Bent", performed and produced by MF DOOM.
  • Track 7 uses an instrumental version of "Shiraz", performed by Action Bronson and produced by Tommy Mas.
  • Track 10 uses the instrumental song "A Tribute to Souls", produced by J. Rawls.
  • Track 11 uses an instrumental version of "So Ghetto", performed by Jay-Z and produced by DJ Premier.
  • Track 14 uses the instrumental song "White Willow Bark", produced by MF DOOM.
