5miinust (stylized in all caps; Estonian pronunciation: [viːs ˈmiːnust], Estonian for 'five minuses') is an Estonian hip hop group formed in Võsu in 2015. The members of the group are Kristjan Jakobson (pseudonym "Estoni Kohver"[a] or simply "Kohver"),[1] Mihkel Tamm ("Päevakoer"),[b][2] Karl Kivastik ("Põhja-Korea"[c] or simply "Korea"),[3][4] and Priit Tomson ("Lancelot").[5] They were originally joined by a fifth member, Pavel Botšarov ("Venelane"),[d] who left the group in 2023, starting a solo career under the pseudonym Gameboy Tetris [et].

5miinust represented Estonia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 alongside Puuluup with "(Nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi".

History

Founded in Võsu in Lääne-Viru County, 5miinust rose to prominence in 2018, the year in which both studio albums "Aasta plaat" and "Rämmar", released in 2016 and 2017 respectively through Legendaarne Records, charted in the top twenty of the best-selling albums chart nationally,[6] making them two of the 18 most successful albums in 2018.[7] The following year they recorded the single "Aluspükse" with Nublu, which spent six consecutive weeks at the top of the Eesti Tipp-40,[8] becoming the 3rd best-selling song in Estonia for 2019.[9] Also in the same year they were signed to the Baltic branch of Universal Music Group,[10] a label through which they released the following singles, "Paaristõuked", "Peo lõpp" and "Loodus ja hobused", all three number one in the Eesti Tipp-40.[11][12][13]

As part of the Estonian Music Awards, the Estonian music industry's main awards, they have won in the Artist of the Year category on two occasions,[14][15] as well as receiving two additional nominations.[16][17]

5MIINUST x Puuluup at the Eurovision Song Contest 2024

In November 2023, 5miinust and Puuluup were announced as one of the semi-finalists of Eesti Laul 2024, the Estonian selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024, with the song "(Nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi".[18] They qualified for the final during the first round of the semi-final.[19] They ultimately won the final and earned the chance to represent Estonia at the contest.[20] At Eurovision they were drawn to compete in the second semi-final, where they placed sixth out of 16 with 79 points, qualifying to the final, where they placed 20th out of 26 with 37 points.[21][22]
