Über diesen Titel

In 1992, two kids from Atlanta didn't just top the charts—they turned the entire music industry inside out. This week on Crash Course Pod, we’re diving into the meteoric rise of Chris Kelly and Chris Smith, better known as Kriss Kross.

At just 12 and 13 years old, they became the youngest rap duo to ever hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Their debut single, "Jump," wasn't just a hit; it was a juggernaut that stayed at the top for eight consecutive weeks—the longest-running #1 single since Michael Jackson’s "Black or White."

In this episode, we cover:

Discovery at the Mall: How a 19-year-old Jermaine Dupri found global superstars at the Greenbriar Mall.

The "Jump" Blueprint: Breaking down the production of the song that made the whole world hop.

The Price of Fame: The challenges of transitioning from child stardom to adulthood in the public eye.

Resilience and Loss: A reflection on the passing of Chris Kelly and the importance of clarity and boundaries in a high-pressure industry.
