Chris Kelly has died.

The rapper, one half of the duo Kris Kross, was found unresponsive in his Atlanta home on Wednesday.

He was later declared dead at a local hospital.

A cause of death has not been determined.

He was 34.

Kelly rose to fame in the 1990s as a young teen performing with Chris “Daddy Mac” Smith, after getting discovered by Jermaine Dupri.

They are best known for the chart-topping song “Jump,” which hit number one in 1992.

Kelly and Smith would famously wear their clothes backward, and contributed a rap song to the Nickelodeon show “Rugrats.”

The pair released three albums before launching solo careers, but reportedly reunited earlier this year at So So Def’s 20th Anniversary concert in February.
