The Skinny Boys are an US hip hop group originally from Bridgeport, Connecticut.
Among the members Shockin' Shawn (Shaun Harrison), Superman Jay (James J. Harrison) is the beatboxer The Human Jock Box (Jacque D. Lloyd).
In terms of its name, the group was apparently marketed like a counterpart to the hip hop pioneers The Fat Boys. Just as the Fat Boys had their beatboxer Buffy, The Skinny Boys have Jacque D. Lloyd The Human Jock Box.
Their single Jock Box was influenced by The Fat Boy's single Human Beat Box and is one of the rare tracks in which a lip bass is playing a simple melody. The melody is also played on the synthesizer that accompanies the whole song in a very simple way.
