Duncan Greive is freelance writer living in Auckland. He is married with two children, and has written about sports, music and ‘other’ for magazines like Metro, North & South, Volume and Sky Sport: The Magazine. He was at one time the editor of Real Groove, quitting months before it folded. It is entirely possible that he is entirely blameless for that sadness. He was named Magazine Sports Writer of the Year at the 2013 Canon Awards. Follow him on twitter
Duncan Greive looks at the dizzying heights and precipitous falls of the hip-hop world - why rappers flame out brilliantly while rock bands keep churning on to much acclaim, and why it's better this way.
