Kris Kross was teenage rap duo Chris "Mack Daddy" Kelly and Chris "Daddy Mack" Smith (both born 1979) of the early 1990s most famous for wearing their clothes backward. They were discovered in 1991 performing at a mall in Atlanta, Georgia by Jermaine Dupri. Their first album, Totally Krossed Out, was released in 1992 and managed to sell more than four million copies. It included the hit single "Jump", which stayed at number one on the Billboard charts for eight weeks. This landed them a spot on Michael Jackson's European tour that year.

Released in 1993, a second album, entitled Da Bomb failed to match their early success. 1996 saw the release of their final album Young, Rich and Dangerous which was also a commercial disappointment. By the end they stopped wearing their clothes backwards.
