Kris Kross - Topic

Kris Kross were an American hip hop duo, composed of rappers Chris "Mac Daddy" Kelly and Chris "Daddy Mac" Smith, formed by record producer Jermaine Dupri. They were the youngest hip-hop group to gain commercial success, with several charting releases by the ages of 12 and 13 years old, respectively. Smith and Kelly were discovered by Dupri in 1991, to whom they signed as the first act on the record label So So Def Recordings, and saw national recognition the following year with their 1992 debut single, "Jump", which remained atop the Billboard Hot 100 for eight weeks and received double platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America. They went on to release three studio albums; their debut, Totally Krossed Out peaked atop the US Billboard 200, while their second and third, Da Bomb and Young, Rich & Dangerous, both entered the top 20. The duo were also noted for their signature fashion style of backwards-clad attire.
Kelly died of a drug overdose on May 1, 2013.
