Durrty Goodz (born May 11, 1981, sometimes known as Durrty Doogz, Dwayne Mahorn in London, England[1]) is an English grime artist. Mahorn was signed to Polydor Records in 2005, but left due to a lack of creative control.

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.[citation needed]

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 accused of murdering 21-year-old Richard Holmes. Mahorn spent nearly a year in prison until November 2006, when he was acquitted.

Durrty Goodz returned to his career in 2007, releasing the Axiom EP. This was followed by the Durrty Whirl mixtape in 2008, a re-release of the 2004 release, available for free download on the official Durrty Goodz website.

In 2009, Durrty Goodz released Ultrasound, a Pre-Album in the build-up to the debut album. This was followed by a Free-Album entitled 'Born Blessed' released in 2010. Durrty Goodz then began work on his debut album, entitled Overall which was released in May 2011.

In 2011 Durrty Goodz featured on an all-star Grime single titled Pull Up 2011 alongside producer Dexplicit and other artists such as Big H, Big Narstie, Dot Rotten, Black The Ripper & Shizzle. In October 2011 Durrty Goodz announched that his second album entitled, 'Foundation' will be released soon.
