The opioid crisis is real. It’s taking lives every five minutes, leaving families broken and communities struggling to pick up the pieces. That’s why Mr. ESQ & Details have teamed up with Snak the Ripper and Death Row Records artist Merkules to deliver a track that speaks to the pain, loss, and reality of addiction in a way that only raw, unfiltered hip-hop can.
A Track That Hits Home
From the very first seconds, “Every 5 Minutes” sets a heavy tone, opening with a powerful intro from Jelly Roll, an artist who has openly spoken about addiction, struggle, and redemption. His words lay the foundation for what follows—verses that are brutally honest, deeply personal, and impossible to ignore.
Mr. ESQ & Details use their verses to paint a vivid picture of the human cost of addiction—the people lost, the families shattered, and the pain that never fully goes away. Merkules & Snak the Ripper, making this track a powerful anthem for anyone who has ever felt the weight of addiction, either personally or through someone they love.
Why This Song Matters
The opioid epidemic is one of the biggest crises of our time. Every day, people are overdosing at an alarming rate, and this crisis doesn’t discriminate—it touches every city, every neighborhood, and every walk of life.
With “Every 5 Minutes” Mr. ESQ & Details aim to start conversations, bring awareness, and let people know they’re not alone. This song is for those who’ve been through it, for the ones still fighting, and for those we’ve lost along the way.
