Med examiner: Chris Kelly, half of 1990s Kris Kross rap duo, dead

(CNN) -- Chris Kelly, one-half of the 1990s rap duo Kris Kross, died Wednesday at an Atlanta hospital after being found unresponsive at his home, the Fulton County medical examiner's office told CNN.

Kelly, together with Chris Smith, shot to stardom in 1992 with the hit "Jump," which spent eight weeks on the Billboard Hot 100. The two also were known for wearing their clothes backwards during performances.

I owned a teen club back when they first came out, and this song played a lot. Sad.
