Mista (band)

Mista was an American R&B group in the mid-1990s from Atlanta, Georgia. Under the production of Organized Noize, the group released their self-titled debut album in 1996, which produced the single "Blackberry Molasses" (#53 U.S., #13 U.S. R&B). This song begins with a sample of Undisputed Truths 1974 song ‘Big John is My Name.’ However, the album did not follow in the same success and despite a second album being produced by Tim & Bob, it was never released. Due to management issues, the group split in 1997. Group member Bobby Valentino would go on to achieve success as a solo artist a few years later.
