Low Profile was a hip hop duo originating from Los Angeles, California, composed of producer Alphonso "D.J. Aladdin" Henderson and rapper William "W.C." Calhoun Jr., who subsequently ventured into the field of visual arts. Their initial appearance was on a compilation album released by Records, which was produced by Ice-T and Afrika Islam. Following this, they issued music together under the Priority Records label. Although their tenure was brief, the duo made a significant impact on the West Coast hip hop scene. Their discography includes one full-length album, We're in This Together, and participation on the Rhyme Syndicate's compilation Rhyme Syndicate Comin' Through. After disbanding, DJ Aladdin continued collaborating with Ice-T, while WC went on to establish WC and the Maad Circle, featuring future star rapper Coolio before his rise to fame.
