Latisha "Tish" Hyman (born 1983), commonly known as Tish, is an American singer-songwriter and rapper.

Hyman was born and raised in the Bronx, where she began battle rapping at an early age.

Beginnings

In 2010 Hyman moved to Los Angeles, California and began writing songs for other artists. In 2011 she wrote a song for Ahsan Watts which helped him get signed to Interscope, and gave Hyman recognition as a songwriter. She subsequently landed a publishing deal at Universal Music Publishing Group and went on to write songs for Alicia Keys, Diddy, Kanye West and Kelly Rowland.

Single release and EP

Hyman's first single, Subway Art, was released on March 3, 2015, and the video premiered on The Fader on April 27, 2015. The song, which describes the struggles of those who use the New York City subway trains on a daily basis, brought stylistic and vocal comparisons to Lauryn Hill.

She was featured on Fabolous' 2015 single You Made Me and on Dom Kennedy's 2015 single "2 Bad".
