The Durty White Boyz (dWb) are an American hip hop group from Polk county Florida currently consisting of the members Delusional, Keno & Durty Spott. Formed in late 2005 the group has released two mix tapes, Grindin VOL.1 (2006) Unoriginal & Lyrically Offensive (2008) and have performed live throughout the United States. They are set to release the full length debut album Firecrackaz in early 2013 on Anti-Authority Records.

Early years and Formation

In 2003, Jumpsteady (brother to Violent J of Insane Clown Posse) called on long-time friend and Psycopathic Records co-worker Delusional to become his hype-man and their first shows took place on Esham's "Acid Rain" tour. Jumpsteady and Delusional performed many spot dates and every Gathering of the Juggalos from 2003 to 2006. Delusional was then featured on the track Spur of the moment from Jumpsteady's 2005 album Master of the Flying Guillotine. Spur of the moment became a favorite among the juggalo following expanding the rappers credibility and helping him gain a wider audience. In late 2005 Delusional (accompanied by his hype-man Durty Spott) went to downtown Orlando promoting a show with local rapper Profit & his hype-man Keno. The idea came up to combine their collective efforts and form a group. They chose the name dWb (durty white boyz) to pay homage to their ethnic backgrounds as well as their geographical location (durty south) This line-up however was short lived. A mix tape was recorded (including one track produced by LIL Jon) but due to complications outside the groups control it never saw the light of day. In 2006 Profit left the group and a new member Nalls was introduced. This line-up quickly recorded and released their first official mix tape Grindin VOL.1. Over the next year the group performed various showcases including MTV Spring Break in Acapulco Mexico exposing them to the over 3,000 international party goers attending the event. In 2008 the group released A second mix tape Unoriginal & Lyrically Offensive ( Hosted by Monoxide of Twiztid). That same year dWb performed Main Stage at The Gathering of the Juggalos alongside notable acts such as Insane Clown Posse, Ice-T, Afroman & Andrew W.K. The group caught the eye of major label consultant Jamaica Johnson who agreed to be their manager. Johnson helped kick start the career of many musicians including Lil Kim, Kid Rock, Hootie and the Blowfish & fellow Floridian rapper Plies.

Unofficial Hiatus, Return & Firecrackaz Negotiations began with Bungalow/Universal and Asylum/Warner Brothers but the project was eventually scrapped due to instability within the group. Personal disputes forced Nalls to be kicked out of the group & criminal charges (including drug trafficking) limited the groups ability to perform outside state lines. Though not officially disbanded the group did not release anything over the next two years. Delusional continued to perform a number of solo sets often including members of dWb .In the fall of 2012 the group announced the release of Firecrackaz on Delusional's Anti-Authority Records. The album contains new material in addition to material intended to be on the major label debut in 2010. Some notable performers the group has collaborated with include Twiztid, Krayzie Bone (Bone Thugs-n-Harmony) Plies, T.O.N.E.Z , L.L. Radio , Stitchy C, Dewey Ranks & many others.
