Charles Vailes Jr.

  • By 7031791897
  • 17 Apr, 2020
Sunrise: December, 13 1999     Sunset: March, 28 2020
Charles Andrew Vailes Jr. was born in Las Vegas, Nevada to Charles Andrew Vailes Sr. and Kristal McClodden on December 13, 1999 at University Medical Center. C'Jaay was a good baby from birth. He never gave us any problems. He would sleep through the night. C'Jaay earned his nick name "Bubbles/Bubbs" because of his big, bright eyes. Everyone loved him. As he grew older becoming a toddler, he loved his shoes. Bubbles loved to dress himself and would always ask for his shoes to be cleaned. He was predestined to be into fashion. C'jaay started his educational journey in Pre-K at Head Start.  He started his first elementary school in the Clark County School District at Halle Hewetson Elementary School. C'Jaay later transferred to Howard Wasden Elementary School. He continued to Leavitt Middle School and then Centennial High School. C'Jaay earned his High School diploma graduating from Cimmaron Memorial High School May 2018. Although he was a Centennial Bulldog at heart. 

C'Jaay accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior at a young age. He was baptized at Second Baptist Church under the leadership of Pastor Willie Davis. C'Jaay participated in the youth ministry as well as Vacation Bible School. Later on, C'Jaay, his mother and siblings joined Fresh Wind Ministries, under the leadership of Pastor Paul & Yolanda Kelker in 2015. C'Jaay expressed that he was introduced to a new way of learning about God which made him want to go to church. He participated in the youth program called Generation Now. He had the opportunity to participate in the "Reset, Revive, Restart" which was a great success impacting our youth. 

C'Jaay played Pop Warner Football for the Steelers and the Colts. He trained for boxing at the Richard Steele Gym. C'Jaay loved music from a toddler and began singing. 

There was an extra room with an old computer which he somehow figured out how to download software and record himself. So his mother went and bought him a microphone to plug into the computer. He would record himself everyday all day. C'jaay was not an engineer but loved bass. So, when he recorded himself he would put so much that the bass would vibrate through his voice. He began his music career in 2010 by turning his thoughts into catch phrases. As his mother, he was encouraged to be whatever he wanted to be. That's when he unleashed the inspiration he kept bottled up from his then rapper mom & her long time boyfriend. He turned his room completely into a home studio and began recording track after track in his closet. One day he stumbled upon a track that he knew had to be recorded in a quality studio. In 2014 C'Jaay performed the same song & was the winner of his first live performance/talent show, "Apollo in the Desert". 

The following were his stage names ASVP Verbz, C'Jaay Tha Prince and Luccy2x

Luccy2x was born in the center of entertainment capitol of the world, destined to be in the spotlight. Full of personality and drive he continued to push his intense flow through Las Vegas underground scene. He signed as an artist with "No Lackin ENT" May of 2019. 

"I wasn't homeless or nothing, but I didn't come from too much so I rap about nice things that I'm gonna make sure I have & I want people to witness the finished product of my struggle. Plus I want my queen to reap the benefit of my appreciation of her continuous hard work & support." -Luccy2x--

C'Jaay loved his family, especially his siblings. He believed in sticking together no matter what. On January 4, 2020 C'Jaay became a loving father to K'Lani Amor Vailes, who he nicknamed "Baby K". C'Jaay was a firm believer in giving back. He fed the homeless, participated in back to school events and took advantage of every opportunity to participate in community events.
