Topic: Keri Hilson "Knock You Down" No Rap Version?Posted: 8 hours 49 minutes ago at 5:43pm |

Hello everyone,
In 2009, singer Keri Hilson released what would be one of her most well-known song "Knock You Down" featuring Kanye West and Ne-Yo. It was heavily played on Pop radio stations here in New York. A few years ago, possibly in 2017 or 2018, I heard a very unusual version on New York's WPLJ 95.5 radio station (now defunct). It was a No Rap Version of the song that only featured Keri Hilson and Ne-Yo and I have never heard it again nor found this version anywhere. There are two known versions of this song: Album Version - 5:26 which appeared on Keri Hilson's In A Perfect World album. Radio Edit - 4:12 which was the version played on the radio and in the music video featuring both Ne-Yo and Kanye West and added vocal effects from Keri Hilson. This version cut one of Keri's verses at the end of the album version. The WPLJ edit used the Album Version, keeping Ne-Yo and Keri's last verse but completely removing Kanye West. It cannot be recreated using the Album Version and Instrumental that are available. Does anyone know anything about this No Rap version?

No. I've heard this version before. It's very close though.
So, at the 2:41 mark you can hear Kanye West saying "ask 'em". The version I heard on WPLJ removed all of Kanye's vocals. The WPLJ edit cannot be recreated from the Album Version because Kanye's vocals overlap with Keri's before her bridge.
