Kris Kross was a hip hop duo which formed in 1990 in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. The group consisted of Chris “Mac Daddy” Kelly (born August 11, 1978- May 1, 2013) and Chris “Daddy Mac” Smith (born Atlanta, January 10, 1979). The duo is best known for their single “Jump”, which reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1992. The group had three further Top 20 hit singles in the United States - “Warm it Up”, “Alright” and “Tonite’s tha Night” - before disbanding in 1996.
They were found in 1991 performing at Lenox Mall in Atlanta, Georgia, by Jermaine Dupri. The duo’s album, Totally Krossed Out, was released in 1992 and sold more than four million copies. It included the hit single “Jump”, which sampled the Jackson 5's "I Want You Back," and stayed at number one on the Billboard charts for eight weeks. This landed them a spot on Michael Jackson’s European tour that year as well as a cameo appearance in Michael Jackson’s “Jam” video.
It became a short-lived fad for youth to wear their pants backwards.
The group separated some time after their third album and went on to solo careers. Kelly and Smith began writing and producing albums.
In 2007, the group reunited, and were working on different projects, still working for Jermaine Dupri. Chris Smith released his new album, Urbane Expressions sometime in 2008, the first single from his album is titled “Lady.” Chris Kelly had his own label called C.Co records. Kris Kross reunited for So So Def's 20th Anniversary concert in early 2013.
On 1st May 2013, Chris Kelly was found “unresponsive” at home. He died in a hospital in Atlanta later that day. Kelly is buried at the Westview Cemetery in Atlanta.
