Chris Kelly, known as one half of
the 1990s US rap duo Kris Kross,
has died at the age of 34 in
what police say may have been a
drug overdose.
Police were called to Kelly's
home in south Atlanta at around
4:30pm (local time) on
Wednesday.
He was taken to the south
campus of the Atlanta Medical
Centre and pronounced dead
around 5pm.
Corporal Kay Lester of the Fulton
County police said "it appears it
may have been a possible drug
overdose".
A post-mortem examination is
due to be carried out to
establish an official cause of
death.
Kelly, known as "Mac Daddy," and
Chris Smith, known as "Daddy
Mac", were introduced to the
music world in 1992 by music
producer and rapper Jermaine
Dupri.
He had discovered the pair in an
Atlanta shopping centre.
Their most famous song was the
frenetic Jump, taken from their
multi-platinum debut album
Totally Krossed Out.
And they were also known for
their fashion style, wearing their
clothes backwards.
Jump reached number one in
the US and Australia and two in
the UK.
Their musical achievements led
to instant fame. They toured
with Michael Jackson, appeared
on TV shows, and even had their
own video game.
The duo was never able to
match the success of their first
song, though they had other hits
like Warm It Up and Tonite's Tha
Night.
Earlier this year, the pair
performed together to celebrate
the anniversary of Durpri's label,
So So Def.
