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" peaked at No. 13 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The album's second single, "Lady" performed less well, peaking at number 61 in December 1996.[1] Despite the success of "Blackberry Molasses", Mista peaked at No. 37 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums[2] and has sold just over 100,000 copies since its 1996 release.[1]
