He was no stranger to putting music to cassette tapes and CD's and had a flair for rhythm and rhymes, as his childhood friends proclaimed. He could always be found livening up any party with his lyrics. "Whop" as he was called, made a great influence on New Orleans cultural bounce music. He is known for his popular song entitled "Charlie Whop". Some of his famous lines can be heard in songs collaborated with many New Orleans bounce rappers. Charles Davalie was born in New Orleans, LA on June 1, 1973 to Phyllis Davalie and the late Charles Ray Haley. He leaves to cherish his memory, companion, Jennifer Franklin; mother, Phyllis Davalie; children, grandchildren, a host of nieces, nephews, aunts, cousins, other relatives and friends. In addition to his father, Charles is also preceded in death by brothers, Anthony and Brent Davalie; children, Justin Laird and Aamiyah Marsh; maternal grandparents, Juanita Johnson and Ben Gardon; paternal grandparents, Ardella Haley and O'C Haley.
