Grammar:

• 힙한 게 뭔지도 잘 모른 애들이 더해, uh

  ➔ Indirect Question/Embedded Question + -는/은/ㄴ 데다/에다 (Adding to a quality)

  ➔ “뭔지도 잘 모른” is an embedded question meaning "what hip-hop is even." “-는/은/ㄴ 데다”/”-에다” means "in addition to" or "on top of that." Here, it implies that people who don't even know what's hip-hop are adding to something (presumably the scene or the issue).

• 솔직히 진짜 약간 나 없음 손해 여기

  ➔ -(으)ㅁ/음: Nominalizing ending

  ➔ The grammar used is '-(으)ㅁ/음' which turns a verb or adjective into a noun. Here '없음' (literally "not existing") is used to say that 'without me' it's a loss. The subject (my absence) becomes a noun

• Drummer fiction, 이 beat를 따라 절벽 끝에서

  ➔ -(을/를) 따라 (following)

  ➔ '-을/를 따라' is a grammar point indicating following something. In this sentence, it means 'following this beat.'

• 한 손에 잡아, 이 도실 던져 위로

  ➔ -아/어/여서 (reason/cause) omitted

  ➔ While not explicitly present, the sentence implies a cause/effect relationship. There is likely an omitted '-아/어/여서'. It could be rephrased as "잡아서, 이 도실 던져 위로" meaning "Because I caught it, I throw this city up."

• 팔이 pressin', callin' me

  ➔ -ㄴ/은/는 (Descriptive Verb Ending)

  ➔ The grammar '-ㄴ/은/는' is used to describe an action or state. Here, "pressin'" is describing the state of the "팔" (arm), and "callin'" describes the action of calling.

• 멈출 수가 없는 걸

  ➔ -ㄹ/을 수가 없다 (Cannot)

  ➔ '-ㄹ/을 수가 없다' expresses the inability to do something. "멈출 수가 없다" means "cannot stop."

• 날 따라 꺼내봐 너만의 noise

  ➔ -아/어/여 보다 (to try)

  ➔ '-아/어/여 보다' expresses trying or attempting something. "꺼내봐" is short for "꺼내 보다," meaning "try taking out" or "try expressing".

• 새벽의 다릴 건너 달빛에 매달린 채 오늘 밤

  ➔ -(으)ㄴ 채 (while/in the state of)

  ➔ The grammar '- (으)ㄴ 채' indicates an action is happening while maintaining a certain state. Here "달빛에 매달린 채" describes being in the state of hanging onto the moonlight.
