South Central Cartel's much-delayed third album All Day Everyday may recycle gangsta cliches, but it does so with so much skill that it may be hard to argue the point. Certainly, there are the standard lyrical themes of guns, sex and crime, but the Cartel can fashion these warhorses into killer pieces of G-funk. Just as often, however, they wallow in both lyrical and musical cliches, but there are enough instances where they break free from their straitjacket to make All Day Everyday worthwhile for gangsta diehards.
