PANACEA = Jason Moore aka "Raw Poetic": emcee/storyteller; Kyle Murdock aka "K-Murdock": producer/soundscaper
RPM (Panacea's live backing band) = Aaron "Enron" Gause: keys & trumpet; Patrick Fritz aka "P-Fritz": guitars and samples; Adam Hopkins: bass; Jon Laine: drums and Dilla essence
AND... DJ Damu: cuts, scratches, & all other vinyl manipulations
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, unique, and 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 W. Ellington Felton. 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 at a prolific rate comparable to legendary jazz pianist Bob James in the 70s, or on stage performing live backed by Virginia-based progressive hip-hop band RPM (www.rpmband.com), Panacea has all musical bases covered!
