Archie Eversole 10 Fast Facts, Bio, Wiki
Arthur Lee “Archie” Eversole was an American rapper best known for his 2002 single “We Ready”.
Eversole was born in Germany while his military parents were stationed in the country. His parents would move to College Park, Georgia, where he was raised.
Eversole recorded his lone full-length album, Ride Wit Me Dirty South Style, when he was seventeen years old.
It was first released in 2001 by independent label Phat Boy Records and then rereleased by MCA Records in 2002, peaking at #83 on the Billboard 200 and #16 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.
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.
On March 25, 2022, Eversole was found by police at a Decatur gas station with a gunshot wound to his face. He said that someone had broken into his bedroom and shot him while he was asleep.
Eversole was hospitalized but died from his injuries at age 37 on April 3. His brother, Alexander Krause, was arrested at Eversole’s home and charged with murder after officers had noticed bloodstains on his socks.
Archie Eversole was known to hype up a crowd with his 2002 anthem “We Ready.” His life tragically ended at 37 after he was found with a gunshot wound at a Chevron gas station in Atlanta on March 25 and then died in the hospital on April 3.
His brother, Alexander Kraus, 41, was arrested at his home near the gas station initially on assault charges that were then upgraded to murder, per Daily Mail. He’s currently being held at Dekalb County jail without bond, according to online court records.
Although Archie is known for his deep Atlanta sound, style, and roots, he was actually born in Germany, on July 26, 1984, while his military parents were stationed in the country (his father was in the US Navy, his mother a member of the US Army).
He wasn’t there for too long, however, as the family then moved back to the states and settled in College Park — a neighborhood in Atlanta — where Archie was raised. He became a well-known figure not only in the region, but in the club scene as well.
Archie’s career really took off in 2002 with his smash hit “We Ready” featuring Bubba Sparxx.
