Today I had a chat with Tim “Bone Man” Burgess and Kelly Betz. Kelly Betz is the founder of No Coast Rap Battles, a collective of battle rappers who perform written a cappella raps in public battles. The Bone Man is also active with No Coast. In addition he is the promoter and host of the Bone Man Variety Show, a public performance variety show that features a wide range of diverse acts such as comedians, musicians, rappers and burlesque dancers. We sit down to talk about Tim's 4/20 weekend in Denver, how No Coast formed, how the No Coast Battle scene has a lot in common with both the comedy and sports fighting scenes and what events are coming up for No Coast and for the Bone Man Variety Show.
