A sad day for anyone who grew up in the early 90s as one half of backwards clothes wearing rap duo Kris Kross, Chris Kelly, has died.
Aged just 34, Chris Kelly, better known as one of the members of Kris Kross, died yesterday in Atlanta of a suspected drugs overdose according to the local police. Known as Mac Daddy in the group, with partner Chris Smith known as Daddy Mac, their big hit ‘Jump’ was released a shocking 21 years ago, in 1992.
The song, written by Jermain Dupri, was a Number 1 hit all around the world. The child stars would never hit those heights again.
But Kris Kross still rings a bell for almost everyone. With their backwards clothes and that catchy tune their fame long outlived their days as stars.
Here’s that tune. Expect to hear a lot of it today.
