Did they become "mature" rappers, or end up working in McdonaldS?

Kelly and Smith were found in 1991 performing at Lenox Mall in Atlanta, Georgia, by Jermaine Dupri. The duo's album, Totally Krossed Out, was released in 1992 and sold 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 as well as a cameo appearance in Michael Jackson's "Jam" video.
It became a short-lived fad for youths to wear their shirts and pants backwards.
1992, at the peak of their popularity, a video game was released starring the pair entitled Kris Kross: Make My Video. It was released on the Sega CD system, and consisted of the player editing together the group's music videos to a few of their hit songs using portions of the original music videos, stock footage, and general video animation effects. Players were prompted before each edit session to make sure to have certain footage compiled into the video. The game was released in the U.S. only to very lacklustre sales figures and dismal reviews. It was ranked 18th on Electronic Gaming Monthly's list of the 20 Worst Games of All Time [1].
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 & Dangerous which was also a commercial disappointment. By the end they stopped wearing their clothes backwards.
A curiosity of Kris Kross' career was a television commercial they starred in to advertise the soft drink Sprite in 1992–93.
After the group's demise, Kelly and Smith began writing and producing albums. In 2003 both Smith and Kelly announced plans to come back into the "rap game" - "hitting heavier and harder than they ever had". However, nothing has come of this announcement.

Even tho they cut a couple of new albums and made a few videos, I think once they grew up, the cuteness wore off and they just faded into hip-hop obscurity!

I think one of them works as a music engineer/producer now, but i'd love if they made a comeback, they could even bring the wearing clothes backwards thing back, they were so cute

In a last interview (maybe 4 or 5 years ago) they said they were broke and JD got them hooked on weed. Nothing positive at all.

They broke up but I don't remember what they each did for a living after they did break up.
