The Skinny Boys are an American hip hop group, originally from Bridgeport, Connecticut. The Skinny Boys members are Superman Jay (James J. Harrison), his brother Shockin' Shawn (Shaun Harrison), and The Human Jock Box (Jacque D. Lloyd). Previously, the group included a fourth member, Robert "ELD" Durrett. The Skinny Boys were influenced by the much more prominent hip hop pioneers The Fat Boys, and their single "Jock Box" was influenced by The Fat Boys' member Human Beat Box.
