"Rubberz" is a song by American rapper Fenix Flexin and American producer Purps on the Beat. It was released on June 5, 2026 through Flexxd Up Ent and Empire Distribution.
Composition
"Rubberz" is a pop rap, synth-pop and dance-pop song inspired by 1980s music. On the track, Fenix Flexin sings in a British accent and flexes in his lyrics.[1][2][3]
Critical reception
Gabriel Bras Nevares of HotNewHipHop praised the song for its "comical but nonetheless earnest and fun contrast between Fenix's flexing and more emotive writing". He also wrote that the vocal and melodic performance "hits a nice balance between being easy-going and yearning."[1]
AI allegations
Upon its release, many accused the song of being AI-generated. Fenix Flexin denied the allegations in the comments of a video of himself performing the song on On the Radar Radio; he attributed the song's distinctive sound to its Auto-Tune reverb and British accent.[2][3][4][5]
