The Story

Formed1990OriginUnited StatesGenrehip-hopLabelSo So Def Recordings, Columbia Records, Ruffhouse RecordsMembersChris Kelly, Chris Smith

Picture the scene: two kids in oversized clothes, bouncing to the infectious beat of "Jump," igniting a hip-hop revolution. Kris Kross, comprised of Chris "Mac Daddy" Kelly and Chris "Daddy Mac" Smith, turned heads and dropped jaws with their unique style and undeniable talent. Discovered by the legendary Jermaine Dupri in the early '90s, this dynamic duo became the youngest stars in the hip-hop realm, launching their careers under So So Def Recordings. With hits like "Warm It Up" and "Alright," they captured the hearts of fans, blending youthful exuberance with catchy rhythms. Their playful energy and signature backwards clothing made them icons of the era, leaving a lasting impact on the music scene. Even today, the echoes of "Tonite'S Tha Night" remind us of those carefree days when youth was a celebration, and the beat never stopped.
