Chris Kelly of the '90s rap duo Kriss Kross has died, confirms the Associated Press. He was 34.
Kelly was reportedly found unresponsive in his Atlanta home on Wednesday. The cause of death has yet to be determined, and an autopsy is scheduled for Thursday.
Kriss Kross was best known for the infectious hit "Jump" from their 1992 debut album, "Totally Krossed Out," and their trademark backwards clothes.
The duo consisted of Kelly, known as Mac Daddy, and Chris Smith, called Daddy Mac. They were discovered at an Atlanta mall by producer Jermaine Dupri, and were just 13 when "Totally Krossed Out" exploded onto the charts.
Soon, they were touring with Michael Jackson and starring in their own video game. Unfortunately, the group's next two studio albums failed to match the multiplatinum success of their debut, although they had additional hits with songs such as "Warm It Up," "Alright" and "Tonite's tha Night."
