Pauly D has a reason to fist-pump in celebration today.

The "Jersey Shore" star, born Paul DelVecchio, has signed with 50 Cent's G-Note label, the Associated Press reports.

Aside from his status as a reality TV personality, DelVechhio is a turntable enthusiast, as evidenced by his "Jersey Shore" nickname, DJ Pauly D.

Recently, he served as an opening act for Britney Spears for several dates of her Femme Fatale tour.

"In Da Club" rapper 50 Cent -- ne Curtis Jackson III -- said that DelVecchio will be a "great addition to G-Note and the G-Unit family."

Hopefully, DelVecchio's choice of material will be more discreet than his castmate, Vinny Guadagnino's -- he was forced to apologize Wednesday after a song he penned, which contained the lyrics, "Actin' like I'm raping it/f--- her til she's fakin' it" invoked the ire of a rape victims' advocacy group.
