We are sad to report that Chris "Mac Daddy" Kelly of the group Kriss Kross has passed away today at the age of 34. Details have not yet surfaced, but Big Boi of Outkast just tweeted R.I.P. to the rapper.
Greg Street of Atlanta radio station V-103 is also reporting that Chris has passed.
Sad to hear the loss of my lil homie, Chris “Mac Daddy” Kelly. I met him and Chris “Daddy Mac” Smith in ’93. Their song “Jump” had been #1 on the billboard charts for eight weeks. Everyone knows Kriss Kross for their music and the crazy way they used to dress, but once they started working with So So Def, they became family.
Kriss Kross just performed at the 20th anniversary of So So Def.
Around 7:45 I received a phone call from his cousin saying they had found Kelly at the house just 20 minutes earlier and he was unresponsive.
I just received confirmation that he has passed.
We have received further confirmation of Chris' death from Atlanta TV station WXIA.
Rapper Chris Kelly of 1990's rap group "Kris Kross" was found dead on Wednesday evening.
According to the Fulton County Medical Examiner, Kelly was discovered unresponsive at his home. He pronounced dead at Atlanta Medical Center - South Fulton shortly after 8 p.m.
The cause of death has not yet been determined. No further details were immediately released.
R.I.P. Chris
**UPDATE** May 2nd
The investigation into Chris' death is underway. According to MyFoxAtlanta and WSBTV it is believed he succumbed to a drug overdose.
TMZ reports that Chris's mother and uncle told police he had a long history of drug abuse. The night before Chris died he took a mixture of heroin and cocaine, known as "speedballs." The rapper felt sick Wednesday morning before passing out. His mother called 911 after finding him unresponsive.
His mother, Donna Kelly Pratte and So So Def, the label he and his partner, Chris “Daddy Mac” Smith, found fame on released a joint statement.
“It is with deep sadness that we announce that our beloved Chris Kelly has passed away on May 1. To millions of fans worldwide, he was the trendsetting, backwards pants-wearing one-half of Kris Kross who loved making music. But to us, he was just Chris – the kind, generous and fun-loving life of the party. Though he was only with us a short time, we feel blessed to have been able to share some incredible moments with him. His legacy will live on through his music, and we will forever love him.”
The hip hop world is also mourning the loss of Mac Daddy. LL Cool J, Da Brat, Nicki Minaj, Keri Hilson and more have tweeted their condolences.

The final moments of the flight of the cargo plane that crashed Monday in Afghanistan, killing all seven crew members, appear to have been captured on a dashboard camera.
The approximately 3-minute video shows what appears to be the Boeing 747-400 jet climbing shortly after takeoff, at 11:20 a.m., from Bagram Airbase.
But some 12 seconds into the video, the jet appears to stall, rolls from side to side, and drops.
At 23 seconds, the plane crashes, nose first, into the ground off the side of the road, erupting into a ball of orange flame and black smoke.
There is no immediate reaction from inside the vehicle.
After the driver brings the vehicle equipped with the webcam to a halt, at 1:15 in the video, someone says, "Oh, f*ck!"
At 1:33, as the camera shows the vehicle moving once again, a noise can be heard -- possibly from a dog. Someone says, "All right, come here. Shh! Shh! Shh!" The yelping stops; the vehicle stops.
At 2:13 in the video, the vehicle approaches the crash site and stops, the camera once again capturing thick black smoke. The video ends.
"That's one dramatic fall out of the sky," said Arthur Rosenberg, a pilot, engineer and partner with the New York-based law firm Soberman & Rosenberg, which specializes in litigation stemming from plane crashes. "It could have been a rock."
He added, "The plane just flat-out stalled. There's absolutely no question about that."
He said too much cargo in the rear of the plane is one of several possible causes.
"It looks to me like the plane pitched up; the most likely cause would be too much load in the rear," he said in a telephone interview. "The plane dropped below minimum controllable airspeed and started to roll."
But, he added, "It's way too early to tell."
CNN cannot confirm the video's authenticity. It bears the date 2013/02/01, but date stamps can easily be inaccurate.
According to National Airlines, the U.S.-based cargo carrier, Flight NCR102, had just taken off from Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan en route to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, when the crash occurred.
"This was a purely cargo flight and no passengers were aboard," a company statement said.
The cargo included five armored vehicles being taken out of Afghanistan as part of the drawdown of U.S. forces, said Shirley Kaufman of National Air Cargo.
National specializes in moving freight for the military and businesses, as well as charter passenger service in the Middle East.
The cause of the crash has not been determined; a four-person team from the National Transportation Safety Board as well as representatives of the Federal Aviation Administration and The Boeing Company will assist the Afghanistan Ministry of Transportation and Commercial Aviation in the investigation.
Six of the victims were from Michigan, National said; they were identified as Brad Hasler, Jeremy Lipka, Jamie Brokaw, Rinku Summan, Michael Sheets and Gary Stockdale.
Rinku Summan
The other victim, Timothy Garrett, was from Kentucky.
Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said his group shot down the aircraft and that "several foreign soldiers were killed."
That claim could not be verified. A number of Taliban claims of responsibility have proven false.

Rick Ross was recently dropped by Reebok in the wake of his date rape lyrics in the song "U.O.E.N.O." His top soldier Meek Mill is coming to his defense.
"F*ck Reebok, we wear Puma," Meek said in a recent interview. "As far as the Ross situation with Reebok, I just don't approve of none of that. I don't approve of no companies trying to dib and dab in on our culture and then when you make a mistake they dip out on you. It's like their still making money off our brand. These companies actually follow our culture. Make money of our culture and pay us like a pimp out. 'Oh this b*tch ain't working today, huh? Put her off the strip.' You fire me we gonna tear your sh*t back down. Ain't nobody wearing Reebok no more."'

J. Cole just blessed fans with his free EP, Truly Yours 2. One of the hottest tracks on the project is "Cole Summer." However,one line in the song left the Roc Nation rapper on Twitter's hot seat last night.
"If I had one wish, I would f*ck Tia and Tamera, at the same time, and put name tags on they t*tties so I don’t get they name wrong. Screamin' 'Game on,' like Wayne's World, that just came on," Cole raps.
Cole was referring to twins Tia and Tamera Mowry. Tia caught wind of the song and asked her Twitter followers to send it to her.
What happened next was pure comedy as Cole begged Tia not to listen to the track.
Check out the song below.
