Low Profile was an American hip hop duo from Los Angeles. The group consisted of record producer Alphonso "D.J. Aladdin" Henderson and rapper William "W.C." Calhoun Jr.,[1] who went on to pursue a career in visual arts. The duo made its debut with Rhyme $yndicate Records, on a compilation album produced by Ice-T and Afrika Islam, before becoming a duo on Priority Records.[2][3]
The group was a short-lived but influential West Coast hip hop duo. Together, they released only one album, We're in This Together. They also appeared on the Rhyme Syndicate compilation Rhyme Syndicate Comin' Through. DJ Aladdin began working with Ice-T, and WC formed a group called WC and the Maad Circle which included a then-unknown rapper named Coolio.[1]
