Children of the Corn was an American hip-hop group formed in 1993 by Harlem rappers Big L, Herb McGruff, Mase (then Murda Mase), Cam'ron (then Killa Cam), Bloodshed (Cam's cousin; real name Derek Michael Armstead) and producer Six Figga Digga.
Known as a "Harlem super group" that "generated buzz on the streets", they disbanded after the death of Bloodshed, who was killed in a car accident on March 2, 1997, at age 21. Even before the group disbanded, each of the group members had pursued solo careers. Members Big L and Mase had a plagiarism related dispute while part of the group.
A retrospective compilation album, Children of the Corn: The Collector's Edition, was released in 2003.
