Durrty Goodz (born Dwayne Mahorn in London, England[1]) is a grime artist. Mahorn was signed to Polydor Records in 2005, and has released one album, Axiom.
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. However, Mahorn also spent nearly a year in prison until November 2006, when he was acquitted.[1] Dobson and his stepdad Anthony Green killed record producer Richard Holmes to avenge Mahorn, as he had been associated with musician Sabar Shah who released a diss track to insult Durrty Goodz.[4]
