Overview

A 10-year-old wannabe political activist Huey and 8-year-old aspiring "gangsta" and rapper Riley. Raised on the mean streets of inner-city Chicago, Huey and Riley were in for quite a bit of culture shock when they moved to an affluent, essentially lily-white suburb, there to live with their crotchety "Grandad" Robert Freeman.

Their posh new surroundings affected the youngsters' streetwise punkish not one whit, and as result, most of the episodes dealt with their efforts to either "radicalize" suburbia or to make sense of the hypocrisies and inconsistencies doled out by both the black and white communities in a post-9/11 world.
