Vocals in gritty dubstep

Hey guys, can someone help me out here? I'm working on a new gritty ass dubstep tune, and I had a couple of questions about mixing in the vocals. I searched the forum on this topic, but as i am a n00b it didn't turn up with anything i hoped for. If someone has a link to something that relates to this, please share. Here come the questions;

1. At what dB should the vocals be? I figured that the drums should be slightly louder than the vocals, is this true?
2.Is there any sidechaining involved? do the vocals dominate the mid range?
3.what is the proper way to EQ the vocals? Without making it sound like it's coming from an oldskool radio?

If someone could help me with this, I'd be really thankful!

Keep dubbin,

Tese Man

Might be of some help mate.

Also the production bible sticky has some advice on mixdowns and sidechaining.
