Alphonso Henderson, better known by his stage name DJ Aladdin, is an American DJ, record producer and turntablist from Compton, California. He was a member of Ice-T's collective Rhyme Syndicate, and produced records for its members Ice-T, King Tee and Lord Finesse. Aladdin formed the duo Low Profile with rapper WC in 1987, and the two released an album, We're in This Together, two years later.
