Diz Undone x Tom Caruana - Don’t Stop (Single) + 10 Questions
Continuous Breath: Diz Undone Returns with “Don’t Stop” A Sharp, Surreal Strike at Power.
Continuous Breath unveils the second single from the upcoming Love & Rage album, as Diz Undone drops Don’t Stop on April 28, 2026.
Produced by Tom Caruana, known for his work with Wu Tang Clan and Masta Ace, the track follows last month’s Normal, which featured Bristol’s rising voice Grove. This time, Diz leans fully into a grimy boom bap sound, delivering a track that’s as playful as it is politically charged.
At its core, Don’t Stop is an absurdist takedown of billionaire influence in modern life. Diz frames the track with a stark idea that a handful of powerful figures are reshaping how we communicate, and in turn, how we relate to each other. The result, he suggests, is a culture increasingly marked by isolation, selfishness and detachment.
The lyrics draw provocative lines between figures like Elon Musk, the rise of far right ideologies, and systems of institutional violence across the globe. But rather than delivering a straightforward polemic, Diz filters it all through a warped, almost cartoonish lens.
Musically and vocally, it’s a showcase. Diz stretches his range from a sluggish, smug billionaire drawl to a rapid fire closing verse delivered from the perspective of an ICE agent. It is theatrical, biting and technically sharp, held together by Caruana’s characteristically rugged production, the kind that has also made him a go to collaborator for artists like Jehst.
Don’t Stop is just one piece of a steady rollout of singles and visuals throughout 2026, all building toward Love & Rage later this year. The album promises to balance fury with humour, pairing political urgency with the warmth and wit that have long defined Diz’s work.
If this single is anything to go by, Love & Rage will not just speak to the moment, it will challenge it head on.
Diz Undone sat down with Wordplay Magazine to answer our infamous 10 Questions:
1. So tell me, how did it all begin? What sparked your love for music?
I was lucky to grow up in a house with music - my dad gave me my first guitar and showed me how to play some chords. And my mum was a primary school teacher who specialised in English and drama, and there were books of Shakespeare and poetry all over the place. Music and wordplay were just a part of life. And when the cousins and aunts got together, we sang and played - music was something we DID as a family you know. It was something I felt I had a part to play in, from the start.
The first tape I bought with my own pocket money was Boom Shake The Room by Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince (I was 9 when that came out, which dates me), and I was properly bitten by the magic of hip hop sound and culture from that moment. I started writing raps straight away and I've been a student of the craft ever since, for better or worse.
I was lucky to find out about hip hop in 1991, and all the Native Tongues stuff, all the mad West Coast / Bay Area stuff that came out around then - from De La to the Freestyle Fellowship to the Pharcyde, and then obviously the first Wu Tang LP… That was the soundtrack to my teenage years, along with jungle and DnB, reggae, soundsystem culture that I grew up around in Bristol… I arrived at the right time to get a really rich, beautiful music education basically.
And alongside all of that was always the folk influence - I’ve always seen the link between the hip hop (and all music with rap in it) I love and the folk and protest music I grew up around, and I've always brought in bits of that other world to the songs I write, whether it's in old folk styles or sung hooks that sound like sea shanties, or just with a spirit of rebellion. It's all the same language to me.
2. Who are some artists that influence you and that you want to work with in the future?
Kendrick, Doechii, Ghetts, Kano and Carsy Blanton.
3. What projects do you have coming up and can you give us any info on them?
I'm working on a collection called Love & Rage, which is gonna be a mixtape of protest and world-building hip hop music. I'm releasing the songs as I finish them, and this new single Don't Stop is the next in the series. We need music that defies the stupid, cruel, fractured normality we're swimming around in, that doesn’t just reflect the shitness of these times but also shows what could be better.
This ‘normal’ has been consciously made by powerful men making decisions, and we can consciously make something better. The next single is called Follow That Joy, I think. Unless another one feels necessary to release before that.
4. How would you describe your sound?
Hip hop with a deep love for hooks and human stories, with a twist of daftness.
5. What's your proudest moment to date so far as an artist?
Supporting Blackalicious on tour. Gift of Gab was a cascade of creative talent and a god of rap, and I got to chat with him and perform for him night after night. Rest in power.
6. Do you have any advice for our readers who may be trying to play the mad game of music?
Ah man it's such a trip. I've found many ways of making it work. I’m always hesitant to give out advice to younger artists now because it’s changed so much from when I first came out.
But the main thing has been collaboration - get together with other artists who are at a similar stage to you, and pool resources. We don’t have to do this thing alone - it’s MUSIC for f*ck’s sake, it’s made for people coming together. In our early days we formed a collective with 4 other bands and put nights on together, bringing our audiences together in the same space and cross-pollinating communities. We ran a chaotic radio show on the local community radio station. We learned from each other.
7. Are there any artists on your radar right now that we should check out?
Che Lingo is sick. I always listen to whatever the Silhouettes Project put out because they’re brilliant and I know several of them from my London days.
8. What albums are on heavy rotation on your Spotify playlist currently?
I’m off Spotify! I moved all my listening across to Qobuz because Spotify’s CEO, Daniel Ek funds weapons tech (specifically AI and drone technology to kill humans) and also Spotify is making music shitter.
But I’m listening to a lot of Rosalia right now, not the new album which I don’t love, but the first album which is pure flamenco music. The control and beauty in her voice…
Bob Vylan also.
9. What do you like to do when you're not making music?
Chat ridiculous daftness with my twin sons. Try to bring about the fall of the Evil Empire.
10. Name Three things you can't live without when in the studio?
Meditation, going for runs and good food.
