Children Of The Corn

Children of the Corn was a hip-hop group formed in the early 1990's consisting of neighborhood friends/Harlem rappers Ma$e (Murda Mase), Big L , Cam'Ron (Killa Cam), Digga, Mcgruff and Bloodshed .

Big L made the group, as he pushed Ma$e and Cam'ron off the streets and into the studio, as well as Bloodshed, who was Cam'ron's cousin. They released over 30 songs under the name Children of the Corn, as they tried for a record deal. They got paid any way they could, rhyming for local DJs and selling mixtapes out of their trunks.

Although very close to a deal, Ma$e and Cam'ron left the group to pursue basketball careers, later Mase would sign with P.Diddy and become part of Bad Boy Records. Cam'ron went through college and was ready to get a deal with Big L and Bloodshed, when Bloodshed was killed in a car accident in Harlem. Big L and Cam'ron both signed record deals as solo artists. In 1999, Big L was murdered. Because of the deaths of two members, the group never became successful on its own, although it served as a starting ground for the young rappers. Both Mase and Cam'ron have gone on to have commercially successful careers.
