Condolences flock to Chris Kelly

Fans of 1990s rap duo Kris Kross were mourning the loss of Chris Kelly, who died Wednesday night of an apparent drug overdose at his home in Georgia. No official cause of death was determined. He was 34 years old.
Kelly - also known as the "Mac Daddy" - and his compatriot Kris Kross member Chris Smith - known as "Daddy Mac" - made a name for themselves with their song Jump in 1992, which became a number one hit in the United States and around the world, and one of the most popular of the year. The album of the same year, Totally Krossed Out, went multi-platinum.

Kris Kross at its peak was also famous for his sartorial eccentricity, with Kelly Smith and often wearing their clothes back and extra, extra large.

So So Def label boss Jermaine Dupri has issued the following statement on the website of the record:
