Durrty Goodz, formerly known as Doogz (real name Dwayne Mahorn), is a grime MC from Stratford, East London. He is known for his great versatility, which can be seen in his ability to jump on Grime, Hip-Hop, Bashment, and RnB tracks, although grime is the genre many of his fans favour him spitting over. His witty lines and great flow have won him many new fans over the years, and he is one of the best emcees to grace the scene.

Welcome to Newham Generals: a grime trio so hype, Dizzee Rascal signed them personally. Rolling in from Newham - the baddest borough in east London - the Generals are producer-MCs D Double E, Footsie and Monkey. Signed to the Raskitt's Dirtee Stank label, they represent a new era in the expansion of the UK street sound known as grime. Want proof? Check their mixtape, "Welcome to Newham Vol 1" produced in conjunction with underground dons Lord of the Decks. And if you can wait long enough until Dizzee's third album, you'll find Newham General productions on there too.

The Nextmen are critically acclaimed DJs and producers working with a range of hip-hop artists. Dom Search (aka Dominic Betmead) and Brad Baloo (aka Brad Ellis) often express a funk and reggae influence, and they have worked with many urban artists from the UK, US and Jamaica. The two members also run their own independent record label, Custom Records, a joint venture with Fat City Records. Their name is a reference to the Afro-American term "next man", which is explained on Urban Dictionary and can be heard in use in the song Find a Way (lyrics at OHHLA.com).
