Funk MTG (short for "funk montagem") is a sample‑based, edit‑driven substyle of Brazilian funk in which producers build hard‑hitting instrumentals from chopped vocal snippets, DJ shouts, and short melodic stabs. It sits at the intersection of baile funk’s classic tamborzão swing and the modern 150 BPM wave, favoring minimal, loop‑centric arrangements designed for rapid DJ mixing, social videos, and powerful car‑sound (automotivo) systems. The focus is on impact: clipped 808 kicks, syncopated toms and claps, stuttered one‑liners, and aggressive drops that reframe fragments of pre‑existing vocals into new hooks. The style spread online via SoundCloud, YouTube, and TikTok under the MTG tag, where countless independent beatmakers release short, highly functional "montagens" for dancers, baile DJs, and content creators.

Funk brasileiro (also known internationally as baile funk) is an urban dance music from Brazil that grew out of Rio de Janeiro’s favela party culture. It took the skeletal templates of Miami bass and electro, then reimagined them with Portuguese lyrics, crowd‑shouting hooks, and Afro‑Brazilian rhythmic ideas. The sound is defined by booming 808 sub‑bass, punchy drum programming, and chant‑like vocals designed for participation on the dance floor. While early tracks typically sat around 130–140 BPM with the iconic tamborzão groove, later waves popularized 150 BPM energy and an even more percussive, hard‑hitting feel. Lyrically it ranges from party anthems and romantic “melody” cuts to street reportage and social commentary. Over time it branched into many substyles—proibidão, ostentação, 150 BPM/mandelão, automotivo, and pop‑crossover hybrids—while influencing global pop, rap, and club music.
