Mista is the only studio album by Atlanta-based R&B youth quartet, Mista, released on July 30, 1996, via East West Records. Produced entirely by super-producers Organized Noize (TLC's "Waterfalls"), Mista was fueled by the release of the album's first single "Blackberry Molasses". According to Organized Noize producer Rico Wade:
[Blackberry Molasses is] innovative. It starts out with almost a medieval feel. It's one of the most visual songs on the album with strong harmonies and a great melody.
Mista peaked at No. 37 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and has sold over 100,000 copies since its 1996 release. The single, "Blackberry Molasses", peaked at No. 13 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The second single, "Lady", peaked at number 61 on the same chart in December 1996.
