Beneath the Pavement... is the second album by Hoodlum Priest. solely an EP, it was only limited to 1200 copies, and is very hard to find. This album is somewhat different from the debut as it has no more rapping on the tracks, and has a more trip hop influenced element. The some of the tracks was produced by Raymond Watts of KMFDM fame, Howard Gray Of Apollo 440 and even Harley Davidson. due to the controversy that surrounded Caucasian's B-side Cop Killer a new version which was made and Derek said he apparently made 'on a night when two cops had been shot' was included in the song "Semtex Revolution".

the quote "And if your hardness will not glance and cut and chip to pieces, how can ye one day--create with me?For the creators are hard. And blessedness must it seem to you to press your hand upon millenniums as upon wax, Blessedness to write upon the will of millenniums as upon brass,harder than brass, nobler than brass. Entirely hard is only the noblest." inside the booklet are taken from the 29th entry of LVI. Old and New Tables in Friedrich Nietzsche's book Thus Spoke Zarathustra.
