Well, dang.

I don't think words can express how I'm feelin' right now.  Happy?  Grateful?  Nah, those won't do.  "Borfnisserus" is the only one I could come up with, and that's not even a word.

I think "ecstatic" is close enough.  When I got that phone call this morning from Mr. Lif himself, it took a lot for me to contain my excitement (especially since I was at work when I found out, LOL).  Turns out, as the first winner of MTVu's Best Music On Campus contest, I've won a record deal with Definitive Jux for one EP to be released digitally, a collaboration from said EP with Mr. Lif, and a music video that will premiere on MTVu (with a cameo from Mr. Lif).  They even gave me a kick-ass picture of my ugly mug on a promo picture!

If y'all go to the website now (http://www.mtvu.com, or http://www.mtvubmoc.com), you'll find your friend Danny featured on the front page.  Or you can click here to view the archived news section of the site.  Or you can click here to check out the news on the Def Jux website.

AND, if you click here, you'll get to see a video clip with Mr. Lif himself announcing the selection and even praising my song "Cafe Surreal"!  Now how tight is that?!

Major thanks to Mr. Lif, Zachary, Andrea, MTVu, Def Jux, and all of y'all that took the time to vote for me.  After all these years the kid finally got a record deal...and with a label that embraces the kind of music that I make, at that!  I'm looking forward to working with Mr. Lif and the rest of the Definitive Jux camp!

...and this is still just the beginning y'all...!
