KE Presents: Dubstep & Rap Promotion

This group is made to highlight artists and producers I find on this site. These users show substantial growth and know how to drop the bass when needed. I will promote these users as much as possible and bring the best songs I can to feature on the main page. I will update this group description once I have a decent group size to further elaborate the promotion aspect of this group. For now just post your tracks and I'll feature my favorite ones.
