 Given the music industry’s history of marginalizing the contributions of women, it’s easy to see hip-hop as a boys’ club. Braggadocious lyrics about violence, sex, swagger, and masculinity reign in a space where women, in most cases, are cast as either conquests or a faceless Greek chorus, their own stories largely ignored. But in 1998, while critics were still promoting hip-hop as a Man's world, Regime managed to find "Missiah", two female rappers ( "Iron-males" as they call themselves) who were beginning to make up a formidable piece of the genre’s biology. Missiah had a distinct variations in style, flow, and lyrical content.  Their single "We Shine" was featured on Regime's1998 compilation release "The Land In Between Soundtrack" which showcased their feminal dominance proving worthy of a male saturated industry.
