Kris Kross' Chris Kelly Laid To Rest
. At his final viewing Thursday afternoon, it wasn't obvious whether the pants of the late Chris Kelly's dark, double-breasted suit were on backwards; but there was little doubt after the two-hour-plus service that there lay a beloved son and friend, a global superstar, and still-going style rule breaker. There were the black letters in the lid of the handsome, two-tone open casket that read, "'Cause That's What I Was Born To Do…" (A reference to the chorus from his multimillion-selling hip hop group's hit, "Warm It Up.") There were the hundreds of well-wishers in attendance for the funeral of the 34-year-old, fallen half of Atlanta's Kris Kross; including his So So Def labelmates Tiny "Tameka" Harris, Da Brat, Wingo of Jagged Edge and the So So Def CEO that discovered the duo in Greenbriar Mall – wearing their clothes backwards, even then – Jermaine Dupri. more on this story Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
