What song did Ice Cube record with KoRn?

The story behind the answer

Ice Cube recorded the song “Children of the Korn” with KoRn.

The track appears on KoRn’s third studio album, Follow the Leader, released in 1998. Ice Cube provides guest vocals, creating a crossover between his West Coast hip-hop style and KoRn’s heavy, groove-driven nu-metal sound. The title is a pun on the band’s name and the phrase “children of the corn.”

“Children of the Korn” arrived during a period when rap and alternative metal were frequently crossing into each other. KoRn had already connected with hip-hop audiences through collaborations and its Family Values Tour, while Ice Cube was an established rapper, actor, and former member of N.W.A. The collaboration therefore fit the era’s expanding rap-metal scene.

Listeners sometimes confuse this track with “Wicked,” an Ice Cube song that KoRn covered on its 1996 album Life Is Peachy, with Chino Moreno of Deftones contributing vocals. “Wicked” is a related KoRn-and-Ice-Cube connection, but the song they recorded together was “Children of the Korn.”
