Mista was a mid-1990s American R&B ensemble originating from Atlanta, Georgia. Their debut, a self-titled album produced by Organized Noize, arrived in 1996 and included the notable track "Blackberry Molasses," which reached #53 on the US charts and #13 on the US R&B chart. This song incorporated a sample from Undisputed Truth's 1974 piece "Big John is My Name." Although the single gained attention, the album itself did not achieve strong commercial results. The group completed a follow-up album under the production of Tim & Bob, but it remained unreleased due to complications with their management, culminating in the band's dissolution in 1997. Subsequently, member Bobby Valentino pursued a successful solo career.
