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.
