740 Boyz is an American dance music group founded in 1991, by Winston Rosa aka BIG WIN from New York.

BIG WIN worked with several singers including Shaggy and Afrika Bambatta. While working in a studio called INS Studios in New York City, he met Rafael Vargas aka Dose Material. Dose Material has been included in the group 2 In A Room.[1]

Their first single, "Shimmy Shake", was successful in France (#2 in late 1995) and Belgium,[2] while it had a little success on the British, German and U.S. charts. A few months later, the second single "Bump Bump (Booth Shake)" was released ; it peaked at #14 in France and achieved a minor success in other European countries, including Belgium and the Netherlands.[3]

In 2003, The Porn Kings vs. Flip & Fill featuring 740 Boyz, reached #28 in the UK Singles Chart with "Shake Ya Shimmy".[4]
