Kris Kross rapper Chris ‘Mac Daddy’ Kelly dies

Chris 'Mac Daddy' Kelly, one half of the 1990s rap duo Kris Kross, has died at an Atlanta hospital at the age of 34, a Fulton County Medical Examiner's spokesman said.

Dumonder Dawson, an investigator for the medical examiner’s office, said Kelly died last night. He declined to discuss the cause of the rapper’s death.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution newspaper reported that Kelly had been found unresponsive at his home and that an autopsy had been scheduled for this morning.

Atlanta native Kelly and Chris Smith made up Kris Kross, which was best known for the 1992 hit single "Jump."
