Houma hip hop artist lands in iTunes' Top 10 for weekend with new song
What began as burning his own recordings on CD-ROMs to sell to high school classmates, has led to D-Allen holding a spot in Apple's Top 10 for a weekend. Mixed at a wooden desk in the living room of a small Houma apartment, Donald Allen dropped his album "Rare Air" April 12, and it hovered at 10th place on iTunes over the weekend. The album is a motivational piece, with lyrics about overcoming life's obstacles and features three other artists, including Shante Scott Franklin, known as Curren$y, of New Orleans; Keyia Folse, of Raceland; and Leury Pereyra of New York.
