Kris Kross

Chris Kelly and Chris Smith were twelve and eleven respectively when they were discovered in 1990 by Jermaine Dupri, himself barely out of his teens. Two years later, Kris Kross enjoyed worldwide success with "Jump " and the album Totally Krossed Out. The childlike duo fell apart in 1993 with Da Bomb, whose success in the U.S. did little to mask the decline elsewhere. Problems linked to the moulting of the two young singers' voices ended Kris Kross' career after Young, Rich & Dangerous in 1996. On May 1, 2013, Chris Kelly was found dead at his home in Atlanta, Georgia.
