Feb. 23, 2013: Chris Kelly of Kris Kross performs on stage at
the Fox Theatre in Atlanta during the So So Def 20th Anniversary
Concert.APATLANTA Chris Kelly, half of the 1990s kid rap duo Kris
Kross who made one of the decade's most memorable songs with the
frenetic "Jump," has died, and authorities say they are investigating his
death as a possible drug overdose.Investigator Betty Honey of the Fulton
County Medical Examiner's office said the 34-year-old Kelly was pronounced
dead around 5 p.m. Wednesday at the south campus of the Atlanta
Medical Center.Cpl. Kay Lester of the Fulton County police said "it appears
it may have been a possible drug overdose."An official cause of death
is pending an autopsy.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 after he discovered the pair in
an Atlanta mall. The duo wore their clothes backwards as a gimmick,
but they won over fans with their raps.Their first, and by far

rap delivery, though the song was written by Dupri. It would become
a No. 1 smash in the United States and globally, and one

once the game began, the balls started popping out of the water.
His only explanation: "It's not possible that it wasn't rigged."CollegeHumor.com
