Holding the show in Allen's hometown also holds special meaning for the"Down Home" singer, because just as he said his grandma and dad made him who he is, so did the town of Milton. "Well, this is the second year of the Bettie James music fest. I'm hoping it definitely lasts, as long as I'm alive and after," Allen said."I'm looking you forward to this being something I can pass down to my kids, so they can keep it going, 'cause there's always gonna be talented artists. There's always going to be artists to perform, so I'm hoping this festival goes on forever.
"So, you got my friend, County he's a local rapper from Delaware, he's a hip-hop artist, he's more like Nas, Talib Kweli," Allen revealed."You got my friend Derek Daisy, we used to do all the talent shows together in high school -- he's a great rock vocalist. You got J.J. Ruff, who's a guy from Delaware, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, plays all these areas -- super talented. You got my friend George Downing, he's a gospel artist.
