The album peaked at #157 on the Billboard 200.[9]
The album contains production from Showbiz of D.I.T.C., J-Swift, and the group themselves.[10] It features lone guest Black Thought.
The Los Angeles Times called the album "uninspired," writing that the group "deliver their lyrics without much of the inflection and flair that made the group’s earlier material memorable."[1] The A.V. Club wrote that "too often ... Plain Rap sounds like what Labcabin's detractors unfairly accused it of being: mature and adult to the point of sounding hopelessly dull."[11] Portland Mercury wrote that "it's not that the album is horrible--it just isn't going anywhere."[12]
Robert Christgau listed "Trust" as a "choice cut."[3]
