Seven of the songs in K.I.D.S. had music videos created for them with "Knock Knock" being the lead single for the mixtape. "Nikes On My Feet", "Kool Aid & Frozen Pizza", "Knock Knock", "Senior Skip Day", "La La La", "Traffic In The Sky", and "Don't Mind If I Do".[1][2][3][4][5][6] The videos for "Nikes on My Feet" and "Kool Aid & Frozen Pizza" were both heavily played on YouTube, reaching over 23.5 million views each. Both songs featured prominent classic hip-hop samples, sampling the Q-Tip's remix of Nas' "The World Is Yours" and Lord Finesse's "Hip 2 Da Game", respectively.

To support the mixtape, Mac Miller embarked on his first tour, the "Incredibly Dope Tour". Miller sold out at every location on the tour.[7][8][9]

The mixtape features one guest artist, Chevy Woods.
