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) and Bloodshed (Cam'ron's cousin), real name Derek Michael Armstead.[1][2]
Known as a "Harlem super group" that "generated buzz on the streets",[3] they disbanded after the death of Bloodshed in a car crash on March 2, 1997, at age 21.[1] Even before the group disbanded, each of the group members had pursued solo careers.[4] Band members Big L and Mase had a plagiarism related dispute while in the band.[5]
A retrospective compilation album, Children of the Corn: The Collector's Edition, was released in 2003.[6]
