According to Entertainment Weekly, NBC recently announced that Jay-Z will be the first musical guest on “The Jay Leno Show,” which premieres on Monday, September 14 at 10p.m. ET.

To sweeten the appearance, Jay-Z will not be taking the stage himself: he plans to bring fellow music stars Rihanna and Kanye West along with him.

Per NBC, the trio is set to perform “Run This Town,” from Hova’s highly anticipated album, “The Blueprint 3,” available in stores and online on September 11.
