Dead at 34, Chris Kelly of 90's Group "Kris Kross"

Sad news... 

“Warm it up” and "Jump" rapper Chris “Mac Daddy” Kelly died this afternoon after being found unresponsive in his home. He was transported to Atlanta Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

If you remember he was apart of the popular nineties duo “Kris Kross” along with Chris Smith. The youngsters were discovered by Jermaine Dupri of So So Def Records in 1990.

Anyone who grew up in that era should recall the trend where everyone jumped around, with braids, ripped caps and wearing their clothing backwards.

We are unaware of the exact cause of death but an autopsy is planned for Thursday morning.

The former member is said to have studied engineering after his music career went downhill and also had an independent indie label called C. CO. We are unaware of how successful that became.

It was also rumored for years that he had been battling Leukemia based on his appearance, but he dispelled those rumors claiming to have Alopecia which causes extreme hair loss. Many folks close to his camp are saying drugs are involved, but we shall wait on the autopsy report.

R.I.P. Chris <3
