On 22 December 2017, he released his first original solo album, titled O Pior Disco do Ano (lit. "The Worst Album of the Year"). In an interview with Redbull.com, he explained the title as an attempt to provoke people into listening to the album to check for themselves it was really as bad as the title promised. [15] [16] [12]

In 2018, he released his second solo album, Teoria do Ciclo da Água. [17] [18]

In May 2019, he released a collaboration mixtape with Santzu, titled O Homem Não Para Nunca Vol.1. [19]

In the summer of 2022, Froid played at the João Rock festival. [23]

His audiovisual project "Acústico: O Florista" resulted in a DVD of acoustic versions of Victor Xamã's hits. The DVD was released in 2023. [24] [25]

In August 2023, Froid released a new album titled Mr. Ego [3] with the intention to "put himself back on the trap map". [25] [26] [27]
