Durrty Goodz (born May 11, 1981), (Sometimes known as Durrty Doogz), Dwayne Mahorn in London, England[1]) is a grime artist. Mahorn was signed to Polydor Records in 2005, and has released two albums, the Axiom EP and Ultrasound.
Durrty Goodz is known for his versatility, which can be seen in his ability to rap on grime, hip-hop, bashment, and R&B beats, although grime is the genre many of his fans favour him rapping over. He was named Best MC by the London pirate radio station Kool FM,[2] which lead to recognition in the London underground music scene, and was signed to Universal Records soon after. Mahorn made appearances on local radio programmes, mixtapes, and 12-inch singles as well.[3] He has been featured in Logan Sama's radio segment on Kiss 100 London.[3]
Mahorn's brother, a grime artist as well, known as "Crazy Titch" (real name Carl Dobson) was convicted of murder of 21 year-old Richard Holmes. Mahorn also spent nearly a year in prison until November 2006, when he was acquitted.
