    Chris ‘Mac Daddy’ Kelly of the iconic rap group Kris Kross passed away on May 1, 2013 at the young age of 34.

    Paramedics found Kelly unresponsive on a living room couch in his Southwest Atlanta home and tried to resuscitate him but he was later pronounced dead at a local hospital.

    It had been suspected that the 90s hip hop star died of a drug overdose and?an odd 911 call?released shortly after the young rapper’s death, didn’t do much to quell those suspicions (click?HERE?if you missed that).

    Chris ‘Mac Daddy’ Kelly of Kris Kross has passed away at the age of 34.

    [THROWBACK:?TLC, Kris Kross & Marky Mark on Oprah… (VIDEO)]

    Kris Kross 5 StraightFromTheAWord spread quickly through Atlanta’s tight knit entertainment community last night that Kelly had died at his home from unknown causes… and since there’s been many a celebrity “killed” on the internet, I decided to inquire with a few sources close to the rapper before moving forward with the news.

    On a related note, I interviewed Kelly at his home several years ago when an unfounded internet rumor spread about his health and at that time, he adamantly disputed that he had any health issues.

    I met with?Chris ‘Mac Daddy’ Kelly (the darker “Chris” from the 90’s group Kris Kross) the other day where he cleared up vicious internet rumors surrounding his health.

    We also spoke a bit about his O.S.A.M. (Old School Atlanta Memories). Kelly reminisces about the Gentleman’s Club before it shut down and about growing up on the southside of Atlanta.

    Continuing with our old school jam session this week, let’s take a stroll down memory lane and listen to a song below that clearly shows where Bow Wow stole his swag:
