Children of the Corn (group)

Children of the Corn was a New York hip-hop group that was founded in 1993 by Harlem rappers Big L, Herb McGruff, Mase, Cam'ron, Bloodshed 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, and the death of Big L, who was gunned down on February 15, 1999, at age 24. 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.
Despite being from New York, the group's sound was heavily inspired and influenced from Memphis rap.
