Codename: Ego Stripper is the fifth studio album by American hip hop duo Ces Cru. The album was released on August 5, 2014, by Strange Music. The album debuted at number 40 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Upon its release, Codename: Ego Stripper was met with generally positive reviews. David Jeffries of AllMusic said, "Still a force to be reckoned with, Ces Cru's sophomore effort for Tech N9ne's Strange Music label retains the energy and intensity of their debut while walking the pimp walk with a more comfortable, sure strut." Kellan Miller of HipHopDX said, "Ces Cru is still a band with a witty-lyrics heavy approach, but overall Codename: Ego Stripper excels at putting the entire package together; a glaring problem with their last release. Ushering in a lengthy track list for an audience easily enticed by instagram, vines, (is-that-a-baby-smoking-a cigarette?) attention spans shows that Ces feel that they deserve their massive viral hype. On that note, "Hope" features the duo waxing poetic over a jazzy instrumental about exactly how far they envision their careers will soar. It is a fitting nightcap to an impressive release."

The album debuted at number 40 on the Billboard 200 chart, with first-week sales of 6,354 copies in the United States.
