There is no<\/span> longer a universal \u201csong of the summer<\/a>,\u201d but for rap enthusiasts, Fenix Flexin\u2019s \u201cRubberz\u201d is quite a significant option.<\/p>\n

Officially out in June, it\u2019s presently ranked at No. 58 on the Billboard Hot 100<\/a> and boasts a music video that has 7 million views<\/a>. Lyrically, it has all the elements you\u2019d expect: bragging about wealth and jewels, with lines that serve as a double meaning for both boasting and sadness.<\/p>\n

However, there are two intriguing aspects to \u201cRubberz.\u201d First, it isn\u2019t a rap track<\/a>; it\u2019s a synth-pop song that fits perfectly in an atmospheric \u201980s playlist. Moreover, after its release, it has been under scrutiny with claims that it was fully or partially AI-generated<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The debate reached a peak this past weekend when an independent music producer asserted he had discovered not only how Fenix created \u201cRubberz\u201d but that his labelmate, Tyga, also appears to have utilized a lesser-known generative AI music app to generate some of his own \u201980s-inspired tracks.<\/p>\n

Now, the creators of that same AI music application have essentially revealed information about both: The platform\u2019s newly added detector is flagging songs from both Fenix and Tyga as likely AI-produced.<\/p>\n

This might finally resolve the discussion fans have been engaging in all summer. However, it won\u2019t end the one they are about to initiate.<\/p>\n

Turn It Up<\/h2>\n

People harbored doubts about Fenix from the start; \u201cRubberz\u201d not only represents a strange genre change for him, but it also doesn\u2019t seem to showcase his actual voice.<\/p>\n

Fenix Flexin was raised in East Hollywood, and you can hear it<\/a> in his music. When he emerged as a member of Shoreline Mafia in the late 2010s, his distinctive bars were easily identifiable due to his somewhat nasal and congested<\/a> tone. The voice heard on his June 5 release of \u201cRubberz,\u201d however, is entirely different. It\u2019s much brighter and clearer, and the accent resembles a very upbeat Morrissey.<\/p>\n

Both he and the credited producer, Purps on the Beat, have refuted the use of AI at every opportunity. Fenix informed Channel 5<\/a> that he \u201cfreestyled\u201d the lyrics, and in the comments of an On the Radar<\/em> performance, he <a data-offer-url="https:\/\/x.com\/XXL\/status\/2064722852213829915" class="external-link text link"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
