Rapper Chris Kelly of the '90s group Kris Kross was found dead at his Atlanta home wednesday evening. He was 34. Officials told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Kelly was found unresponsive and transported to Atlanta Medical Center where he was pronounced dead. Kelly, known as Mac Daddy, performed alongside Chris Smith, known as Daddy Mac, in the early and mid-90s. The duo might be best remembered for the song Jump from their 1992 debut album, Totally Krossed Out, which sold four million copies in the US, hit double platinum and topped the Billboard charts for eight straight weeks.
They were discovered at an Atlanta mall in 1990 by then 18-year-old rising star Jermaine Dupri. The young rappers were also noted for their fashion style, which consisted of wearing their clothing backwards. No other details were available at press time. We're told an autopsy will be performed Thursday morning. Growing up Kris Kross were an integral part of our lives. May he rest in peace, Amen.
