CANADIAN-BORN reggae artiste Tasha T, who is of Jamaican parentage, has topped the Rebel Vibez Top Ten Canadian Reggae chart with Ten Foot Wall.

The song, which peaked at #3 on the New York Reggae chart and #2 on the Reggae North Canadian Top 20 Reggae/Dancehall chart, is from her recently released album One World: Chapter 1.

In an interview with the Jamaica Observer, the Afrocentric entertainer shared the inspiration behind Ten Foot Wall.

“The song was written based on seeing people going out of their way to block other people’s path without a reason. It’s a song to uplift, strengthen, and encourage. Also, to remind people that no matter what obstacles they may face the Almighty is always there,” Tasha T explained.

Ten Foot Wall is produced by Paul “Patchy” Wright and Natasha Whyte.

One World: Chapter 1 was released on August 14 and is a joint production between Wrigth and Whyte. It bears the RasVibe Records Inc and Island Yard Productions labels.
