This story is really tragic.
Rapper Archie Eversole, who is best known for his hit song ‘We Ready’ passed away back on April 3rd and the details surrounding his passing are extremely sad.
According to TMZ, Archie was shot by his brother at a gas station on March 25th and passed away at a nearby hospital a little over a week later. The cause of death hasn’t been released though.
As mentioned above, he’s best known for his very popular hit ‘We Ready’ which was a game day staple for all sports. Whether it was in the locker room before the game, a team walk out song, or being played during games, the song is pretty synonymous with sports and lots of fans and former athletes have been paying their respect after seeing the news about Archie. It was a legendary song.
Eversole recorded his lone full-length album, Ride Wit Me Dirty South Style, when he was seventeen years old. The record was first released in 2001 by independent label Phat Boy Records and Break Bread Productions, then rereleased by MCA Records in 2002, when it peaked at #83 on the Billboard 200. The featured single, “We Ready”, contained a sample of the 1969 Steam song “Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye”. Though it only reached #64 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, the track proved popular in the sports world, as it was included in promotional material for the National Football League and was played during home matches of the Major League Soccer club Atlanta United, while the Kansas City Royals adopted it as their anthem for their 2014 MLB postseason campaign. A music video was filmed for a remix of the song that featured Bubba Sparxxx.
In 2018, Eversole recorded “United We Conquer”, a fight song dedicated to Atlanta United.
He will certainly be missed. It be your own people sometime.
