Skinny Boys

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.
==Links to Peel==
Peel seemed to have discovered the group in 1986, according to available tracklistings on this site and would play further material from the group until 1989. He did revisit them in 1990, as part of the Fall In August series.
