The group was named as a result of old Hitler movies viewed by Yukmouth in which Hitler's army was referred to as "The Regime" or "The Hitler Regime". The logo for the group is a silhouette of adragon inspired by Yukmouth's love of dragons and oldBruce Lee movies. The dragon logo also doubles as the logo for Yukmouth's labelSmoke-A-Lot Records , which incidentally, The Regime are currently signed to as a group. The Regime is unique when it comes to rap groups in that the members are from different states and cities around the U.S. yet come together to make music and money.
