740 Boyz is a Dominican-American dance music group founded in 1991 in New York City by Winston Rosa, known as Big Win. Rosa had previously worked with artists including Shaggy and DJ Jazzy Jay before meeting Rafael Vargas, known as Dose Material and formerly of the group 2 in a Room, at a New York recording studio. Their debut single, "Shimmy Shake," became a hit in France, reaching number 2 on the charts in late 1995, and also charted in Belgium, Germany, Austria, and the UK. Their follow-up single, "Bump Bump (Booty Shake)," reached number 14 in France and saw modest success elsewhere in Europe. The group released their self-titled debut album, 740 Boyz, in 1996. In 2003, a reworked version titled "Shake Ya Shimmy," credited to Porn Kings vs. Flip & Fill featuring 740 Boyz, reached number 28 on the UK Singles Chart.
