After finding success in the music business, Atlanta native Lil Jon is continuing to put his hometown in the forefront.

Lil Jon’s new series “Lil Jon Wants To Do What?” premiered on HGTV in May and it is a fresh take on your average home improvement shows. The series follows Lil Jon and expert builder Anitra Mecadon, as they “help skeptical homeowners who feel trapped in a boring home find their design wild side. Unsurprisingly, Lil Jon’s ideas are pretty unconventional.”

Viewers were in for a treat last week as they saw the team renovate an Alma Travel Trailer from 1952. The trailer is owned by Atlanta photographer Kelly Kline.

“Well, it just seemed like an interesting opportunity.” Kline told PopCulture. “We were looking for a designer, we were actively shopping for a designer. We were speaking with three or four people at that time. And then a friend of mine said she had some connections and said, ‘This might be an opportunity. They might be still looking for someone for the show.’ And so, I don’t know, she just dropped my information with them, and it progressed from there.”

If you want to get an up close and personal look at the 30-foot-long trailer, get your money ready! The trailer will be available for daily rental in Atlanta later this month – whether you want to use it as a private lounge space, a green room or a talent trailer, is completely up to you. The newly renovated trailer is part of Kline’s company, Vintage Ventures, a studio located in downtown Atlanta.

As far as working with the hip hop mogul, Kline says he was super cool. “He’s super down to earth. I’ll be honest, very average Joe in a good way. Had awesome ideas, a lot of energy, and a good sense of humor. And I don’t know, he was great to work with.”

You can catch Lil Jon Wants To Do What Mondays at 10 p.m. EST on HGTV or pay per view on YouTube.
