Summary
“Rubberz” peaked at No. 58 on the Billboard Hot 100, giving Fenix Flexin what the report describes as the first AI-assisted song to reach the chart.
Fenix Flexin, a founding Shoreline Mafia member, has stopped implying the track was fully human-made and is now openly acknowledging AI’s central role in its creation.
TikTok-style virality helped drive the song’s rise, with the report portraying its mix of rap lyrics and synthetic ’80s-pop cues as tailor-made for algorithmic attention.
Tyga has already followed with an openly AI-built album, and the report says “Rubberz” is influencing even non-AI rap releases chasing the same nostalgic, platform-friendly sound.
