A Riley riddle:

My prefix is a unicorn,
My infix is not better.
My suffix is the first to do teamwork,
My $whole + Boyz$ is hip-hop.

Can you solve this?
Sorry, you can't just go to a mathematician and ask him to solve this.
Only a Puzzler can solve this๐Ÿ˜‰

Hint 1:

The answer is not a word

I think the answer is

102

General Reasoning

Given the title and the hint, I think the answer might be a number.

My prefix is a unicorn,

A unicorn would indicate the number 1

My infix is not better.

I assume this to mean "not better than my prefix", so perhaps 0.

My suffix is the first to do teamwork,

There's no "I" in team so the first number which could be considered to do teamwork is probably 2.

My ๐‘คโ„Ž๐‘œ๐‘™๐‘’+๐ต๐‘œ๐‘ฆ๐‘ง is hip-hop.

I think this refers to the group 102 Boyz
