The Skinny Boys Tickets

The Skinny Boys are a foundational act in old-school hip hop, hailing from Bridgeport, Connecticut. Originally forming as the Superior Crush MCs in 1981—featuring Superman Jay, Shockin' Shaun, and The Human Jock Box (formerly ELD)—they released music as The Skinny Boys and became known for their human beatboxing style and energetic live performances. Their early connections to the broader New York City hip hop scene aligned them with artists like Fat Boys and Chuck Chillout, helping to shape the sound of late-80s hip hop.

Fans today appreciate their charting work and influential tracks, such as Jockbox, which later served as the opening theme for the Comedy Central show Workaholics. The Skinny Boys’ contributions to the genre are recognized by fans and critics alike, with references to their work in music press and discographies highlighting their role in bridging the classic era of hip hop with the era of modern fusion and rhythm experiments.
