Shortly after the album was released, Froggy continued the music video for the album track, moving along with "Halloween II". After releasing music videos for "Reindeer Games", "Friday the 13th", and "Fun Trip", Froggy released a non-album single, as well as his music video, titled "Jimmy Butler Is Your Father". The lyrics of this song centered on Chicago Bulls basketball players, Jimmy Butler, as well as the entire Bulls franchise, and expanded their focus to insult the Cleveland Cavaliers, and their little star, LeBron James. Froggy will release songs and music videos on May 9, 2015, one day after the Chicago Bulls beat the Cleveland Cavaliers in the third game of their Eastern Semi Final series.

Exit Mount Hood and tour
In September 2016, Froggy Fresh pinned comments on many of his videos, addressing concerns raised by fans about the lack of video since "Stolen Bikes 3", released five months earlier. The comment stated that, while no releases are scheduled for Autumn 2016 until Spring 2017, they plan to release 13-15 new videos between Summer 2017 and 2020, as part of a double-disk album tentatively known as Escape from Hood Mountain . The comment then states that Escape from Hood Mountain will "probably be the last album for our project, because we're all starting to grow."
On February 21, 2017, Cassidy uploaded a video on YouTube, which has since been deleted from its channel, explaining the story behind the Krispy Kreme/Froggy Segar project. In the 23-minute video, Cassidy reveals that Froggy Fresh is indeed a comedic character created after years of struggling to get attention as a serious rap artist. Despite declaring that he really enjoyed five years of video making, Cassidy revealed that it ended up being boring to him and that the friends who filled his videos had gone in different directions in their respective lives. He also expressed interest in becoming a comedy actor. Despite this statement, Froggy Fresh announced its first tour with a premiere held April 28, 2017 in Charlotte, North Carolina with DJ Justin Aswell. The next show in June 2017 takes place in the Southeastern United States and features Froggy Fresh with Money Maker Mike. Upcoming tour dates for other areas in the US have been announced through October 2017.
Before explicitly revealing his identity, the only identifier behind the Froggy Fresh character is the registration of his songs in the ISWC database, with "Tyler Stephen Cassidy" labeled as composer and writer. In addition, a business entity running the Froggy merchandise site, Froggy Fresh LLC, was founded by "Tyler Cassidy" under the title "Owner" with the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs.
On February 15, 2018, Cassidy uploaded a new update video on YouTube. He stated that Escape from Hood Mountain has finished with eighteen tracks. He uploaded the entire album for free for fans to download online.
