Career
Career
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.
