Chris Kelly, one-half of the 1990s rap duo Kris Kross, died Wednesday at an Atlanta hospital after he was found unresponsive at his home. He was 34.
How Kelly died isn't known,
Kelly was found unresponsive and transported to Atlanta Medical
Center, where he was pronounced dead, a spokeswoman for the Fulton
County Medical Examiner’s Officer. Kelly’s death is being investigated as a drug overdose, Fulton County police Cpl. Kay Lester. An autopsy is planned for Thursday morning to determine the official cause of death. Kelly, together with Chris Smith, shot to stardom in 1992 with "Jump," which spent eight weeks on the Billboard Hot 100.
Going by the stage name
Mac Daddy (with Smith known as Daddy Mac), the pair was known for
wearing their clothes backward during performances.
Kelly and Smith were 13-year-olds when they were discovered in 1991 at an Atlanta mall by Jermaine Dupri.
The duo followed up their
smash "Jump" with the single "Warm It Up." Together, the songs pushed
their debut album, "Totally Krossed Out," to multiplatinum status.
Next came 1993's "Da
Bomb." But the album failed to find the following of the duo's debut, in
large part because the boys had hit puberty and they were marketed with
a tougher image.
Their career never again reached the heights of their debut, but they continued to make music.
In 1996, the duo released the album "Young, Rich and Dangerous."
Take a look at the song that made them famous "Jump"
This is so sad to hear. RIP Chris Kelly, (Daddy Mac)
