Mista

Mista was an American R&B group that made waves in the mid-1990s hailing from Atlanta, Georgia. The group consisted of members Bobby Wilson (later known as Bobby V), Darryl Allen, Brandon Brown, and Byron Reeder. They burst onto the scene with their self-titled debut album in 1996, which featured the hit single "Blackberry Molasses." This song quickly became their signature track, peaking at #53 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #13 on the R&B charts, showcasing their smooth harmonies and relatable lyrics.

Despite their promising start, Mista faced challenges, including management issues that led to their dissolution in 1997, right before they could release a follow-up album that was produced by the famous duo Tim & Bob. Although the group didn't last long, Bobby V went on to enjoy a successful solo career, while the other members pursued various paths in music. Their brief but impactful presence in the R&B scene continues to resonate with fans of the genre today.
