Happy Monday, folks.

With just a couple months left in 2016, the pressure’s on to leave your mark on this year and set yourself up for greatness in 2017.

While the mainstream has given us some great music recently, with some equally promising new music on the horizon (cc: Jeezy), fans don’t have much to complain about. Hoodie season is approaching, festival season is wrapping up, and as an artist, you’re either gearing up for your last move of 2016, or prepping early for 2017.

If you’re an up and coming artist, not only should you be striking again before 2016 closes out, but you should most certainly be prepping your 2017. This is non-negotiable.

So today, to start off the week, we turn our attention to those upcomers in a new edition of Civil Selects. Check out new music from Dyson Alexander, Sonny Rich, Much Ali, Doughboy STL, MF and Solomonilla.

Enjoy!
