Panacea - Ink Is My Drink (2006)

MC Raw Poetic (left) and producer K-Murdock (right)

I've actually been meaning to school y'all on Panacea for awhile. Composed of MC Raw Poetic and producer K-Murdock, Panacea is a breath of fresh air in hip-hop. Raw Poetic is seriously talented MC, heavily involved in spoken word and poetry. His emotional and introspective lyrics are a match made in heaven with the the beautifully laid beats. K-Murdoch essentially creates hip-hop beats that haven't been made before, incorporating funky and soulful samples with a sort of eclectic space-age vibe; hard to describe. 

This technically their second album, but the very first that got big exposure. They were chosen to be on Rawkus Records' re-emerging music label (don't you miss the 90s?). Dope project. They've about 4 more equally dope projects after this, let's get started!

2.) Invisible Seas

3.) Place on Earth

4.) Steel Kites

5.) Coulda Woulda Shoulda

6.) Reel Me In

7.) Pule

8.) Work of Art

9.) These Words
