Chris Kelly, one-half of the 1990s rap duo Kris Kross, died Wednesday of an apparent drug overdose, The Associated Press reported. He was 34.
Kelly, who was known as "Mac Daddy," and his partner Chris Smith (a.k.a. "Daddy Mac"), were only 13 years old in 1991 when they were discovered by music producer and rapper Jermaine Dupri while performing at the Greenbriar Mall in Atlanta. Dupri's label, So So Def, signed the boys and sent them into the studio to record their first album.
Kris Kross rocketed to stardom a year later with the release of the single "Jump." The song spent eight weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, became an aerobics anthem and helped their debut album "Totally Krossed Out" go multiplatinum, CNN reported.
Soon Kris Kross was touring with pop star Michael Jackson and appearing as guests on numerous TV programs. They recorded the "Rugrats Rap" for Nickelodeon and were listed at number 90 on VH1's list of "The 100 Greatest Kid Stars."
Kris Kross became a force in fashion as well; the duo was known for wearing their clothes backward during performances and for a time many youths copied the trend. But it was the combination of their energy and mature rapping skills that earned Kris Kross a strong fan base.
Although future albums failed to match the success of "Totally Krossed Out," Kris Kross continued to make music for several years, releasing "Da Bomb" in 1993 and "Young, Rich and Dangerous" in 1996. The pair recently performed together in February for the So-So Def 20th Anniversary All-Star Concert.
Earlier this evening, Kelly was found unresponsive at his Atlanta home, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. He was transported to Atlanta Medical Center and pronounced dead.

Dog attack story: Survivors tell of their fear and their faith
By MICHAEL OVERALL World Staff Writer on Mar 24, 2013, at 1:57 AM Updated on 3/24 at 4:21 AM
Mike Harrell who shot and killed the dog that attacked two women in Tulsa last week is greeted by the daughters of one of the victims, Irene Parker — including Rhonda Thompson (left), Patsy Phillips, and Marilyn Elliott — while visiting the family Saturday at St. John Medical Center. JAMES GIBBARD / Tulsa World
Local
Prosecutor clears Enid officer in fatal shooting
An Enid police officer fatally shot an armed man last month.
Bartlesville call center to add 100 new jobs
The company said the new workers will provide customer support as Sitel takes on a new cable entertainment and broadband services provider.
A sign in the window said "Beware of Dog," but Irene Parker didn't see it.
The house next door had a sign, too. And so did the one across the street.
In this neighborhood, tucked behind the Bama Foods plant on North Lewis Avenue, dogs are a security system.
Parker was part of a citywide effort last week to reach literally every house in Tulsa with an invitation to a "Memorial of Jesus' Death," a yearly service for Jehovah's Witnesses.
"I knock on every door," she says. "The work is too important to skip anybody."
On Tuesday morning, in the 2000 block of North Lewis Place, Parker went up to a small white house with a chain-link fence around the yard.
A woman answered immediately and said something through the screen door. But at 78, Parker has trouble hearing.
The dog didn't bark. An 80-pound pit bull, it was just standing there, behind its owner.
After 40 years of going door to door, Parker didn't think twice about it.
Then the dog jumped.
The screen door flew open.
Parker landed in the yard.
Teeth ripped into her forehead.
"My face, my face," she kept thinking. "I have to protect my face."
Five feet, 4 inches tall and 119 pounds, she tried to push the dog off, but it wouldn't budge. So she turned her head and buried her face in the grass.
The dog sunk its teeth into the back of her scalp.
"I heard it take my ear off," Parker remembers. "It made a terrible sound."
She didn't scream. The dog's owner did.
Delivering an invitation two doors down the street, 43-year-old Beverly Wright came running.
The owner was waving a baseball bat. So Wright took it and swung as hard as she could.
The dog let go of Parker's head and turned around.
Wright swung again.
The dog jumped.

ATTACK VICTIM
Irene Parker: She faces more surgery and will need a prosthetic ear.
Wright screamed.
Mike Harrell heard it two blocks away, where he works for a steel company. He keeps a loaded gun in his truck, so he jumped in and drove to the house.
One bullet stopped the attack. But by then, Parker and Wright were both soaked in blood.
The first 911 call came at 10:18 a.m.
An hour later, emergency room doctors warned Parker's family: If she lived, she would never be the same.
"Your mom's at St. John," a cousin told her. "You need to get here ASAP."
It took four hours to drive back to Tulsa. Parker was still in surgery.
Doctors were sewing her face back together, arranging pieces of skin like a puzzle.
One ear was missing. Her eyes were swollen shut. Both hands were broken. And a ventilator kept her breathing.
"They never said it," Thompson said. "But we could tell the doctors were surprised. They didn't think she would make it."
Thompson was 6 years old when her mother started studying the Bible with Jehovah's Witnesses in the 1970s.
"Her faith has been 150 percent ever since," she says. "She's never looked back."
Full-blood Cherokee, Parker grew up near Tahlequah speaking that language first, English second.
"She's very quiet and very humble," Thompson says. "She would never expect anybody to make a fuss over her. She'd be very shocked to know how many people care about her."
The waiting room was shoulder to shoulder with members of her congregation. Flowers came from as far away as California and Britain, sent by strangers.
As soon as the ventilator tube came out of her throat Wednesday morning, Parker wanted something to eat.
She asked about Wright, then told her daughter to go to her house and take out the trash.
"I don't want it to stink when I get home," she said.
They went door to door together, often 30 hours or more a month. And on other days, they went shopping, ate lunch or just sat and talked.
"She's my partner and my sister," Wright says. "I would do anything for her."
As soon as she heard the first scream, she ran up the street, through the gate and across the yard.
"I wasn't thinking," she says. "I was reacting."
She put the dog in a headlock. And for a moment, it let go of Parker.
But Wright couldn't hold on. And the dog clamped down again.
"Give me the bat!" Wright yelled. "Give me the bat!"
After a couple of blows, the dog let go of Parker and turned around.
"I swung again and again," Wright says, "but it just kept coming at me."
She fell backward and pulled her leather jacket up over her face.
The dog bit her ear but couldn't get to her face.
"I looked down and saw him bite into my leg," she says. "And he started dragging me across the yard."
She was yelling.
"Jehovah, save me! Jehovah, save me!"
Then she heard a gunshot.
Up the street, he could see people rolling around.
"We couldn't see a dog, and I thought maybe it was a domestic situation," he says. "Then we heard more screams."
Harrell has a concealed carry permit and keeps a Walther P99 in his truck. When he got to the house, he put the gun behind his back and walked up to the gate.
Parker was lying motionless near the porch. Harrell thought she was dead.
The dog was still mauling Wright. And a third woman, who turned out to be the dog's owner, was kneeling in the grass.
"She was covered head to foot in blood," Harrell says. "I thought she had been attacked, too."
He yelled to get the dog's attention. And it looked up, making eye contact.
"Then it just turned back and kept chewing on that woman's leg," he says.
"It was so frustrating because I just couldn't get the dog away from her. At that point, you want to yell every cuss word there is."
Finally, he stepped into the yard and banged on the fence. The dog turned and rushed toward him.
Harrell jumped back behind the gate and the dog crashed into it.
"Is that your dog?" he asked the woman. "Can I shoot it?"
Saturday afternoon, he came to visit Wright and Parker in the hospital.
Parker's daughter wanted to know why he asked permission before taking aim.
Harrell chuckled.
"I don't know," he said. "If she had said no, I would've done it anyway. In that moment, it just seemed like the right thing to do."
The dog turned sideways, and Harrell pointed the gun at its chest.
"I'm so proud of you," Parker told him Saturday, while she was sitting up in bed with bandages wrapped around her face and arms.
"It's no problem," he said, blushing and looking down at his shoes. "I was just in the right place at the right time."
She found it at Psalm 119:133 - "Fix my own steps in your sayings and may no hurtful thing dominate over me."
Both arms were bandaged, and her right leg was propped up with a drainage tube coming out of it.
At first, doctors warned her that she could lose the leg. And she might still need more surgery to repair nerve damage.
For now, she's using a wheelchair. But with months of physical therapy, she hopes to walk again.
A part-time housekeeper, Wright lives with her daughter and helps take care of a 3-year-old grandson.
Leaving intensive care earlier this week, she wheeled past Parker's room and stopped to say hello.
"You're my hero," Parker said, lying in bed.
"No," Wright told her. "You're my hero."
Parker will need more surgery on her hands, and doctors will have to make a prosthetic ear.
The scars will fade but not disappear.
"As soon as I can, I want to go back into field service," going door to door, she says.
The first stop might be the 2000 block of North Lewis Place.
"I never got to leave the invitation," Parker says. "I don't have any hard feelings toward the woman."
The dog's owner will be cited for not having it neutered and for not having a city license, officials said. But she won't face other charges.
"I hope she will come to a meeting with me and study the Bible with us," Parker says. "It's very important."
She hasn't changed at all, her daughter says.
"Not one bit."
Plans to set up a medical fund for Beverly Wright are under way.
The house next door had a sign, too. And so did the one across the street.

'To make a fuss'
On a trip to Texas, Rhonda Thompson got the call just before 11 o'clock."Your mom's at St. John," a cousin told her. "You need to get here ASAP."
It took four hours to drive back to Tulsa. Parker was still in surgery.
Doctors were sewing her face back together, arranging pieces of skin like a puzzle.

She asked about Wright, then told her daughter to go to her house and take out the trash.
"I don't want it to stink when I get home," she said.
'Would do anything'
Never mind that she's 35 years younger. Wright bonded with Parker as soon as they met at north Tulsa's Meadowbrook Heights congregation.They went door to door together, often 30 hours or more a month. And on other days, they went shopping, ate lunch or just sat and talked.
"She's my partner and my sister," Wright says. "I would do anything for her."
As soon as she heard the first scream, she ran up the street, through the gate and across the yard.

'The right place'
Another employee heard a commotion outside, and 28-year-old Harrell went to look.Up the street, he could see people rolling around.
"We couldn't see a dog, and I thought maybe it was a domestic situation," he says. "Then we heard more screams."
Harrell has a concealed carry permit and keeps a Walther P99 in his truck. When he got to the house, he put the gun behind his back and walked up to the gate.

"After all those years you're still looking young in your youthful years"
Hello there my blogger world peeps it's me once again you know last week I was so sick but I'll ain't going to tell you about the details. But listen I wanna to talk/blog about something that has come up something in my mind that I wanna share for a lifetime is called-you know what? "After all these years you're still looking young in your youthful years" Now for me I'm just getting sick & tired of *sike* I'm just jocking I'll ain't going to clamping at all, but I'm just saying though. Like a lot of people telling me that how old I'm? like? *Oh my...* You know while I was at the doctor's yesterday & She was nice an older lady like almost in her late 40s or early 50s & she has box braids she told me how old that I was, & I said I'm 25 I'm going on 26 this month & She was like oh you look like a little girl! Which was really puts a smile on my face! :-) You know what I always get that form a lot of people & even also the young people as well but to me I don't really see the most of the young people that gotta be short all the time like I always see them tall & also just wanna be try normal-that's my way of thinking. But I've some of the friends that are short & also tall most of them are tiny. Like for me I just wish that I can be just real tall like a normal business woman. But thats what I've to do what I gotta do you know what I'm saying? like I've some of the people in my family even my parents are short. But my younger non-verbal brother he's about 6 feet tall & he has to wear a size 13 shoe. That's why I'm enjoy my youth until I'll will be ready in the new system. And just let some of the people just passed you by walking down the street just looking at them at my youthful face & just tell them the same thing "I'am enjoying my youth!" & I tell that older lady at the doctors office "I guess thats what everybody says!" when I always be saying when I was at the doctors office yesterday.

Warren, Ohio, is in mourning after the deaths of six teenagers who died Sunday when the SUV they were in ran off a highway, flipped over a guardrail and landed in a small pond.
"It's going to be a rough week, a rough rest of the school year," said Michael Notar, Warren school superintendent, as NBC News reports.
From Youngstown, Ohio, The Vindicator writes that "according to the [Ohio State Highway Patrol], the Honda SUV was traveling south at a high rate of speed in a 35-mph zone before it veered left, hit a guardrail and went over the guardrail and into a small pond on the east side of the road at approximately 6:50 a.m. Sunday."
There were eight teenagers in the vehicle — seven boys and the driver, a 19-year-old girl. The boys' ages ranged from 14 to 18. The two boys who survived are both 15 years old.
Authorities, according to The Vindicator, are awaiting the results of toxicology tests to determine if drugs or alcohol played a role in the crash.
CBS News reports that State Highway Patrol Lt. Brian Holt said the vehicle, owned by a resident of Youngstown, had been taken without the owner's permission. It adds that:

Last week or something like that my father was looking at "Inside Edition" about whats going on on the youtube world today & he keep saying "THAT'S SO STUPID" & just about yesterday I GOOGLE it up it's a new prank called "GALLON SMASHING" Prank. It all started when this 3 young pranksters in the VA & I guess it became an over night. Now it seems to me that how people can put into peer pressure like that?? I mean come on now like I won't even to do such a thing like that. But you know some of the teens just wanna have fun. Like I meant for the fun of it. Like I'm only an adult & I'm short -to put of you this way.
A video that shows three teens pretending to fall in a supermarket, spilling the gallons of milk they are carrying, has become a hit on the Internet.
Dubbed “gallon smashing,” the prank has done well online but might have legal implications.
In the original video, the three Vienna, Va., teens – Zayd, Faysal and Omar Khatib – film themselves carrying milk containers in supermarkets. They pretend to trip and fall, sending the gallons of milk crashing to the floor, with dramatic results. Supermarket workers and shoppers who don’t know it’s part of a prank rush to help the seemingly injured boys as they flail about in the spilled milk.
The teens – two brothers and their cousin – consider themselves actors and have their own YouTube channel, theCHAIZYchannel, where they say, “We’ve always been pranksters. But on December 10th 2011 we decided to start getting our pranks on camera.”
Their other prank videos include one showing their lying down in odd poses on a moving elevator, while another shows their pretending to splash unsuspecting people with an empty bucket.
The trio told the cable show “Right This Minute” that the “gallon smashing” video was an innocent prank and no one got hurt.
But they seem to realize that gallon-smashing takes things to a whole new level.
“I don’t think we can top this. We probably won’t do anything this bad again, probably calm it down a little,” one of the boys told “Right This Minute.”
One “gallon smashing” video earned more than 3 million views on YouTube in less than a week.
Some people find it hilarious but Dana Cole, an attorney and legal analyst for ABC News, says it potentially runs afoul of the law.
“Looking at the video, it does seem a bit malicious, not so funny particularly because someone has to clean it up,” Cole said. “Based upon that, it can easily be viewed as a crime.”
The original posters’ video has been pulled from YouTube, but others have uploaded it.
An alleged copycat gallon-smashing incident in Utah this week led to disorderly conduct charges for 10 juveniles.
