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 artist 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.
