Kris Kross Rapper Chris Kelly Dead At 34

It was just back in January that it was reported that Kris Kross was reuniting, spurring us to revisit the hip-hop duo's two best known videos — "Jump" and "Warm It Up" — with director Rich Murray.

Today it's reported that member Chris Kelly was found dead in his Atlanta home. He was 34. A drug overdose is suspected.

Q: So what do you think about the 20-year reunion concert of Kris Kross and So So Def Entertainment? 

Rich Murray: It’s great to see Kris Kross getting together to do a show. I know some people will say "novelty act reunion, who cares?" but what I remember from the years we worked together is how truly talented they were — and at such a young age. True talent is never out of fashion, so who knows, this could be a new chapter for them. It wouldn’t surprise me.
