4 All the Sistas Around da World is the debut and sole studio album recorded by American R&B group Sista, released September 20, 1994, on Elektra Records. One of the group's members was future rap star and producer Missy Elliott; her future collaborator Timbaland co-produced the album.
Although the album received positive reviews from music critics, the work was eventually shelved due to the first single not having much success on the charts. However, in May 2017, 4 All the Sistas Around da World was officially released on digital and streaming platforms by Rhino Entertainment.
