"Tunin' Up & Cosignin' " is a two disc set by N'dambi. It is her second effort. It focuses on a more jazzy sound with live instrumentation. The album contains many songs from her debut, re-worked to fit the environment of the album. "Tunin' Up & Cosignin"' has a few skits with her and her band. It demonstrates, even further, the influence of jazz aritst Nina Simone. The first track is a seven minute long tribute to her, simply titled, "Ode 2 Nina." N'dambi explores her jazz artistry with scatting, among other things.

Many criticise the album because on some parts, she sings off-key, while fans argue that this is a characteristic of jazz music.

The tracks in italics are songs from her debut album that were re-worked.
