Funk de BH is a style of Funk brasileiro that developed in Belo Horizonte, the capital city of Minas Gerais, during the late 2010s and early 2020s. The genre distinguishes itself by taking a much more minimalist approach to funk, switching out dense drum programming for a more atmospheric, ethereal and spacious sound that's generally in the 90-130 BPM range (although some songs are closer to 150 BPM, denoting a Funk 150 bpm influence). DJs may utilize sound effects such as glass breaking, and others, as percussion instruments during live sets.

MCs in the genre are particularly known for their more conscious approach to lyricism, speaking about the difficulties of growing up in impoverished neighborhoods, as well as the persecution of oppressed social classes in Brazil. Notably, funk's common theme of ostentation remains common, however, it is presented in a more positive light, taking away some of funk's much criticized sexualization and employing it as empowerment for female and LGBT+ MCs, who remain uncommon in other scenes of the genre.

This straightforward and empowering lyricism is seen by some middle and high-class residents as violent or challenging. The people who live in the favelas of Belo Horizonte call higher-class neighborhoods asfalto (lit. asphalt, referring to how very low-class neighborhoods generally don't have asphalted roads), and many times, two different versions of any given song may be produced: the original version, and one with lighter, "smoother" lyricism, the latter being marketed towards the wealthier communities.

Funk de BH, like other funk subgenres, relies heavily on music videos for its popularity, however, most of its MCs and its target demographic are the younger people of Brazil, and many songs will instead be promoted on social media platforms such as TikTok, and as such feature catchy, danceable beats and memorable choreography.
