Rhyme In Paradise, Chris Kelly

It's Crazy....I was just on Jermaine Dupri's Global 14 Radio ["The Cut"] the other day talking about how Kris Kross is LITERALLY why I got into the game as a kid. "Jump" was and IS one of my all-time favorite songs. I used to go to the bathroom in first grade JUST so I could turn my clothes around. One day 4 other kids copied me and the teacher took away my bathroom privileges. lol [True story].

"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.”
