Panacea is an American hip hop duo, formed in 2003 in Washington DC. The duo consists of MC Raw Poetic (Jason Moore) and producer K-Murdock (Kyle Murdock), and are signed to Glow-in-the-Dark-Records and Rawkus Records. Combining old-school rhyming with soulful beats, the Washington, D.C., duo Panacea have drawn comparisons to revered hip-hoppers like the Roots, Gang Starr, and A Tribe Called Quest. Panacea blends Native Tongues-inspired beats with warm major chords and soul samples and add smart, conscious rhymes about life, love, and of course, hip-hop. Producer K-Murdock was born and raised in D.C. and had worked with R&B singers Bilal and Raheem DeVaughn before hooking up with Philadelphia MC Raw Poetic. With Poetic's easygoing flow fitting perfectly over Murdock's soulful beats, the two decided to become a team. When Poetic made the move to D.C., Panacea was born and in 2003 they announced their arrival with the debut EP Thinking Back, Looking Forward on the Los Angeles-based Glow-in-the-Dark label. Panacea generated interest from the re-emerging heavy hitter Rawkus Records which resulted in a joint venture between the two labels. “Partnering with Rawkus increases the visibility of each project. They are embracing the changes to the industry rather than clinging to years past,” states Jaysonic, co-owner of Glow-In-The-Dark. Ink Is My Drink was released in 2006, with "Starlite" as its leadoff single. Their sophomore album 'The Scenic Route' was released in 2007.
