​Brother Ali will join the Roots as a special guest performer on tonight's episode of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. According to a press release sent out today, it will be a "rare collaboration/jam session" between Ali and the Roots rather than a straightforward performance. The show airs tonight at 11:35 p.m. on NBC, and will available online afterwards via the NBC site.

Here's video of Ali sitting in with the Hold Steady last month at the Butterball charity event (skip to 4:05 for the good stuff) to get you pumped for tonight's collaboration:
