For Riley Freeman, "keeping it gangsta" includes the occasional temper tantrum or hissy fit.
To this corn-rowed 8-year-old, who changed his name to Riley Escobar in the second grade, white-bread Woodcrest is the perfect place for his favorite pastime-–juvenile delinquency.
A proud product of contemporary rap culture, he looks up to 50 Cent and once sported a temporary tattoo that said "Thug Blood." Unfortunately, some of it came off in the tub, and all he was left with was "Hug Boo."
But it’s not all gangsta life for Riley. When he’s not defending R. Kelly on the courthouse steps, he can be found in the Freeman living room getting whipped by his big brother at video soccer.
