Harrison), his brother Shockin' Shawn (Shaun Harrison),[2] and The Human Jock Box (Jacque D. Lloyd).[1] Previously, the group included a fourth member, Robert "ELD" Durrett.[2] The Skinny Boys were influenced by the much more prominent hip hop pioneers The Fat Boys,[1] and their single "Jock Box" was influenced by The Fat Boys' member Human Beat Box.
