More details are pouring in regarding the death of “We Ready” rapper Archie Eversole. According to WSB-TV2, Eversole was shot on March 25 on Golf Vista Circle in DeKalb County, Georgia and rushed to a local hospital where he ultimately died from his injuries on April 3.
Eversole’s brother, Alexander Krause, has been charged with the murder. Police initially responded to a Chevron station on Snapfinger Woods Drive where they discovered Eversole suffering from a gunshot wound. Krause was arrested after the shooting and charged with aggravated assault, but his charges were upgraded to murder once Eversole died.
Eversole was only 17 when he recorded his debut album Ride Wit Me Dirty South Style. The project was ultimately certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) due to the success of the popular sports anthem “We Ready,” which heavily sampled the 1969 hit “Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye” by Steam.
