“Cut Off the Serpent Neck” marks the opening statement for Reggae to the World Riddim, a globally-minded project driven by themes of liberation, spiritual clarity, and collective resistance. Brought together by Creation Walker Productions, the track sees Jamaican artists Turbulence and MAKARU uniting across generations to deliver a sharp, roots-based performance. Built around a deep, spacious riddim, the production creates a steady pulse that allows the lyrics to rise clearly to the surface: layered with metaphor and urgency, grounded in clarity and intent.

The riddim serves as a shared platform for international collaboration, with artists from across continents contributing their own interpretations in upcoming releases. Turbulence, a prominent voice in the roots revival and a featured figure in the documentary RiseUp, brings his trademark intensity to the track. MAKARU introduces a fresh tone and flow, complementing the heavyweight presence of his collaborator. Their chemistry is heightened by the production’s restraint: a deliberate choice that prioritises message, rhythm, and cohesion.

This project builds on reggae’s enduring global reach as an active, forward-looking form of communication. “Cut Off the Serpent Neck” sets a clear tone, offering a template for how reggae can remain rooted in tradition while connecting with new audiences and contributors worldwide.
