Rolling Stone – Sat, Dec 8, 2012 12:23 PM EST

Big Boi hit Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on Friday to perform a track from his new album, Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors. Although Kelly Rowland provides the vocals for the studio version of "Mama Told Me" featured on the album, Big Boi made his appearance with that song's original collaborators, Swedish electro-pop band Little Dragon. 

Little Dragon spoke to Rolling Stone about their collaboration with the Atlanta-based rapper over the summer. "We were in Atlanta and just kind of had a day together, it was one of those rare things where we met and had a vibe," frontwoman Yukimi Nagano said.

The album, Big Boi's second solo venture outside Outkast, is due out on December 11th.
