Kris Kross | Where Are They Now? | The Sad Truth Behind Their Breakup

Before They Were Famous - A podcast by Michael McCrudden

Do any of you guys remember the early hip-hip duo, Kris Kross? Okay, sure, a whole bunch of you probably weren’t even born yet when their single “Jump” hit the airwaves back in 1992, but when it did, it propelled these thirteen-year-olds with names like Chris “Mack Daddy” Kelly and Chris “Daddy Mac” Smith, into superstar status. With their trademarked extra baggy and backwards fashion sense, these two were helped along the way by none other than Jermaine Dupri who discovered them while visiting a local Atlanta mall. Millions of records and albums sold would follow, but it wasn’t really meant to be. A lengthy hiatus would ultimately turn into something much more permanent when Chris Kelly lost his life overdosing on drugs. Think you know the name of the Kriss Kross video game? Then let us know the answer down below! Otherwise, keep watching our newest episode of Where Are They Now to discover the answer to that question and a whole bunch more.
