2 In A Room is a Dominican hip hop, Freestyle music and house music duo from Washington Heights, New York, which includes rapper Rafael "Dose" Vargas and producer/remixer Roger "Rog Nice" Pauletta, later replaced by Edwin "Floodlight" Ovalles after 1990. They are best known for their 1990 hit "Wiggle It", which spent two weeks at #1 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart (#3 in the UK) and then crossed over to mainstream radio and climbed to #15 on the Hot 100, eventually becoming a gold single. Before that, they were known for a track called "Do What You Want" (1990) that got a lot of club and DJ play in NYC and Chicago.
"El Trago (the Drink)" was a #86 Hot 100 chart entry (the last of their pop hits), but they did chart several more singles on the dance chart through the nineties.
Their first release in the UK was "Somebody In The House Say Yeah!" in the late part of 1989.
They later changed their name to Fulanito and style of music to merengue.
