Fenix Flexin’s viral new song “Rubberz” has sparked intense debate among fans, with many listeners convinced the track was generated using artificial intelligence. However, the Shoreline Mafia member is setting the record straight: it is the real deal.
The single, produced by Purps on the Beat and released on June 5, features Fenix adopting a distinct folk-music tone over a production style reminiscent of 1980s Miami soundtracks. The unique vocal delivery led many to speculate that the rapper had utilized AI technology to manipulate his voice.
“Nah, I need a REAL live performance lol if bro can prove this is actually him, I’ll give him all his flowers,” one user commented on a clip of Fenix’s On The Radar performance. Others echoed the sentiment, with one listener writing, “Bro Asked A.I. – ‘Make Me A Miami Vice /Scarface 70’s Song Using My Voice.'”
The skepticism reached a point where Fenix felt compelled to address the claims directly. On June 9, he responded to the chatter in the comment section of his own post, stating, “No sirrrrrrr, recorded same as all music I do! Only difference Is auto tune reverb and me using my fake uk accent lol.”
This confirmation aligns with recent comments from industry figures like Bootleg Kev, who previously noted that Fenix had personally assured him the song was authentic. The release follows Fenix’s earlier statements in an XXL interview from January, where he expressed his commitment to evolving and revamping his sound. It appears his creative experimentation is exactly what fans are hearing on “Rubberz.”
