DiggaChildren of the Corn was a hip-hop group formed in the early 1990s consisting of neighborhood friends/Harlem rappers Mase (then known as Murda Mase), Big L, Cam'ron (then known as Killa Kam), Herb McGruff and Bloodshed. The group name is a play on words; it is short for Children of the Corner as well as refers to the Stephen King's short story with the same name.
History
Big L was the founder of the group, as he pushed Mase and Cam'ron off the streets and into the studio, as well as Bloodshed, who was Cam'ron's cousin, with the last member of the group being McGruff. 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.
The group disbanded after the death of Bloodshed and Big L. Before the group disbanded, each of the group members pursued their solo careers. Big L signed with Columbia, Mase signed with Bad Boy, Cam'ron signed with Epic and McGruff inked a deal with Uptown. A collection of the group's songs, entitled Children of the Corn: The Collector’s Edition was released in 2003.
