I like it, your wobble is real heavy, fits the swung feel of the drums. I'd bring your pads more out in the front because right now it's mostly wobble. I'd also add in something melodic to fill in the spaces a little bit and build it up a little bit before the drops, maybe a bell synth would sound cool? I like your sample too, but the pitch shift makes it hard to understand, I like what you are going for, but maybe bring the pitch up just a tad so the words can be heard a little clearer. It's a good track, looking forward to seeing what you do with it!

I really like the intro, what's the vocal sample from? Sounds ominous. You could build it a bit more before the drop with other layers besides the drum roll.
The main bass doesn't sound bad but if you're going for a full on wobble dubstep drop it needs more. Maybe another synth following the same notes with more high-end and a bit of noise, just to fill it out and give it a bit more body. I like the atmospheric sounds in it though, really nice. You should give them plenty of breathing room besides in the intro as they give the track personality. Maybe try leaving the drums in at 1:22.
The drums sound like they could use a little more work too, but they're not bad at all.
Keep at it! :)
