Project By
Has not connected their Facebook account.
Their sound has been described as "A Tribe Called Quest meets Final Fantasy", and some listeners have even made comparisons to The Roots and Outkast. But forget a classification, this is just exceptionally good, uniquely timeless music.
Panacea is based out of the Washington, DC area where producer K-Murdock, a Maryland native, has provided his fantasy hip-hop soundscapes for soul singers such as Raheem DeVaughn and Wes Felton (aka "The Crossrhodes").
Emcee Raw Poetic, a long time resident of Northern Virginia who originally hails from Philadelphia, has been rhyming since the age of 14. His natural, almost conversational flow and signature storytelling lyrics fit perfectly with K-Murdock's soulful and sometimes spacey compositions.
Their obvious chemistry is incredibly rare, and favors such accomplished duos as Gangstarr and Pete Rock & CL Smooth. Whether they're in the studio composing music or on stage performing live, Panacea has all musical bases covered!
I can't wait till I get home from work and find a box sitting on my front porch, better than Christmas!
Yeah Kyle right... can't donate if the link not working. Oh and K- Murdock... If everything is not going as expected with this kickstarter campaign, how you all going to do the next C.D. and then tour? I really want you all to make it to Chicago, IL. This area yearning for the real music.
The link provided for the shipping donation is dead. It leads to no where. You may want to fix that.
CD came today...#1! Keep it up!
Got my CD this afternoon. Much thanks to you guys! =)
So has anybody got any of there packages yet?
Is it too late to pledge?
disregard last comment!
I just checked my messages, and ill definately wait for it!
I actually haven't gotten anything yet... and I put my info in since May 10th when i got the email asking me to do so...
Has anybody got there cd's yet?
When do we get to pick the shirts and whatnot?
Keep experimenting with your thoughts and sounds. Your music has no bounds.
Man, if I had known, I would of put down for one of those Mega Supporters but, I didn't! But that's ok, I'm backing you guys a couple times. So hopefully that'll make up for it too! But keep up the dope sounds guys! You definitely take neo-hip-hop music to new levels each and everytime. Best wishes homies! Can't wait for two weeks!
(And maybe hope to see you @ the release party?)
You guys are my new favorite group, can't believe I had never heard your music until January of this year. It's a privilege and an honor to be able to kick a couple bucks towards your next project. Wish I could afford a whole lot more than 40 bones but such is life. Keep up the sick sounds guys, you rock.
Wanted to post up $104 and get you exactly to that $5,000 mark, but I'm a broke-*ss grad student with bills bills bills who's getting married in 3 months & looking for a house.
Sorry, homies, all I could kick down was $40. I'm a sucker for limited editions and mega-packages and sh*t, though, so don't put up any more, or you'll bankrupt me.
PS - I just found out about you guys two weeks ago through the People Under The Stairs forum, and the albums I bought are on constant rotation in my iPod now. Keep up that positivity, fresh style, and dopeness. Much love to the Panacea family from Sacramento/Davis, CA.
If I would've had the money, I would've backed this about a week and a half ago... Missed the chance to get a lower-numbered CD (sigh). If I wasn't a college student you'd be getting much more from me. Thank you two for the music. So motivational. Perfect inspiration for a poetry major.
Is there anywhere that I can find lyrics to all the albums?
HasH ... we appreciate all the kind words ... don't worry ... you'll have more opportunities to get in on specials like the MEGA packages here down the road. We're looking forward to a lot of great things with this special vinyl press.
Thank you for making this a vinyl. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Panacea reached their goal in NO time just as I knew they would because the're DOPE! I'm with you Diego. I pledged without hearing a single song because I KNOW I'm getting dope, quality Hip Hop from Panacea! I blew it and waited too long to get the $200 and $100 reward but I made sure I got the next best thing. Thank you Panacea for this amazing project. Hopefully other artists will follow what you all are doing. RESPECT!

Panacea always has the best album art
this is the first time i have ever spent money for an album. without even hearing a preview of it, i saw "Panacea's New Album" and i immediately pledged $25.
Awesome, though not surprising, to see there's so much support! You guys are amazing. I sampled some beats from Scenic Route and Mind on a Ship Through Time on my college radio show the other day. Keep doing what you do!
I live in Ontario, Canada, and i've been trying my best to spread the word of your amazing music as much as I can. Everyone needs to know how you guys are keeping hip hop alive in its truest form, and im glad to be able to help in any way whatsoever! Keep making dope music guys!!

Also if you guys go on tour you should definitely come to St.Louis.
